Yesterday he walked with me. I suggested that he walk with me for an hour, then we play for an hour. I'll stay up past my bedtime for that.
He wanted 2 hours! Lol.
Don't think so!
Anyway, we are having a great time. We've been hanging out together and having tons of fun.
If we got any happier/sweeter, we'd make people sick!
I did have a serious conversation over this past weekend.
I told him that we'd been living together again for 8 months now.
That I know that one of his fears was that I'd slip back into old habits and he'd be miserable again.
He shook his head and smiled....anticipating my question.
I told him that it's easy for me to slip back into old habits because they are MY habits...and I don't realize it. And that if he noticed that, to clue me in.
And then I asked him how we were doing.
He told me that he's never been happier.
He's also kept his promise about quitting smoking.
We've had pow wow sessions on what to do.
I asked him what I could do to help, and he told me to just put up with him when he starts being mean to me.
I asked him about various responses I could make and he suggested I not use any of them.
I asked him if he'd realize that he was being unfairly mean to me...and he said he would...later.
I told him then it would really help me if he'd pet me, hug me, praise me for putting up with his being mean...once he realized it.
He smiled.
I'm not sure if he will..but he heard me.
I told him that the one thing that I've found that helps me stay on program with Weight Watchers is exercise.
I asked him if there was one thing that would help him. He didn't think there was.
I told him that for me, the idea of trying to loose over 100 pounds was overwhelming.
He said the idea of never smoking again was overwhelming to him.
We brainstormed different things we could do to help each other.
And at the end of our conversation...he turned to me and told me, "We can do this. We'll do it together."
