Bolt,

Yeah, this thread it pretty good. And the timing is good since V day is right around the corner and isn't that sort of about pursing???

My wife also lost weight recently and looks amazing. But she doesn't want to hear that from ME. It seems like it really means something different and more powerful coming from other people. (I HAVE to say she's looking good, she thinks; besides she has a giant mirror and she KNOWS she looks good so it's really about appreciation from others, knowing that they notice her I guess, feeling a little power).

When my W wants to feel good about that she goes SHOPPING to new work clothes. While this stresses me out (see my other threads) it would give you a chance to comment on the new clothes and how she looks and she'd feel good about that all day, I'd guess. Would you get points by planning a night out and happening to drop by a store she likes.....

man, you're in a better place than I am. Lately I've been wishing my W would wear some really bad garanimals to work instead of looking supper cute.....but that's a good place to be.
