Some of this is really funny:

“Hey…let’s get married!!”
“Burp. I do.” (/quote)
We have known each other since middle school, dated over 2 years and were engaged almost a year. So there is a lot in this relationship. And she is not completely unsupportive.
Occassionally she will find a new healthy recipe and give it a shot. She is no longer complaining that I excercise too much. She does not buy as much junk food as she used too. She still has a stash and there is icecream in the freezer but the candy is no longer sitting out waiting to be munched.
I think I was most upset because it’s like she does not trust me to take care of my body. It could be she fears what she doesn’t understand and I need to do my part to educate her a little. Maybe show her some studies, books written by M.D.'s and such.
I remember the first few years we were married she was sick a lot. Now it’s not so bad, she has not had strep throat this year, which is something, she had it twice last year. I think a lot of it is some of my healthier eating is rubbing off on her.
It may take a while but I think I can get her too lift a few wieghts, She liked the leg press, refuses to squat or do anything that “looks funny”.
She is naturally built fo the dead lift, strong core and legs, accidentally caused a miscarriage picking up and moving 160lbs of concrete mix without even a warm up, didn’t know she was pregnant so I can’t fault her. I am rambling, it’s late.
I’ve thought out a few new goals of mine 1) get stronger now, lean up when I get deployed 2)get some more protein powder or liquid egg whites (more expensive but it’s “food” hence easier to accept. 3) buy some flowers for no reason at all, been too long 4)find out HER goals and get her to write them down
p.s. thank you for the support and thought provoking messages. I honestly expected people to ignore this rant but got a lot of insight from the outside. Thanx again. Oh and keep the jokes coming! Laughter is often the best medicine.
