I love Scrubs

Dr. Cox: The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body.
Turk: What?
Dr. Cox: Do you understand the second you look in the mirror and you're happy with what you see, baby, you just lost the battle.
Turk: You should give speeches to teenage girls.

Husband and I have been watching Scrubs on Netflix lately. This dialogue was on the episode we watched the other night. I laughed pretty hard at it and my husband just looked at me a little confused. He doesn't know how close THAT hit to home. Haha.

It's true though. Because that's my biggest problem. Some days, I don't hate the way I look. Which is when I start to eat. And then it's all over. The next thing I know, my clothes don't fit.

I have pretty good motivation though. One thing I am eternally grateful for is my husband's honesty. He is never afraid to tell me when he thinks I have gotten fatter. In turn, I have to make sure to not act upset with him when he says it. He's good at picking up when I'm upset and if I am when he basically calls me fat, he won't. And then it will be harder to tell when I really have gotten fatter.

Also, he won't buy me new clothes. Having gained weight since we moved, some of my clothes are a little snug. The other day, he asked me what was taking me so long to get dressed. I told him my clothes were snug so I didn't like the way they looked.
He said "Well, you'd better lose some weight then, cause you have TONS of clothes and I'm not buying you any more right now."

Bingo.

Addendum: After reading that, I feel like it makes my husband kind of sound like a douche. I would like to add that he's not at all. He's kind, generous, soft-spoken, self-sacrificing and INCREDIBLE in bed. But he's also honest to fault and if I have gotten fatter, he sees nothing wrong with saying it. And I love that about him :)
