More Diet News

So Jeremy finally decided he wants to lose weight for the wedding. Approximately four months after we said we would diet and exercise together and be each others support and blah blah blah. So for four months I've been struggling to keep off the mere six-ish pounds I've managed to lose, and of course every time I get there some frickin' holiday comes up and his family seems to eat only potatoes and corn, with occasional meat as a side dish, so I gain it back. Which is why I finally decided to diet instead of just eating better and working out. And I've lost and kept off (for the past three weeks at least) eight pounds. All with him still eating the crap he usually eats and us going to the resteraunts we normally go to and me trying to find something to eat while his friends stare on curiously. Thanks for making me feel like a freakshow for trying to better myself guys.

Anyway, he decided he wants a tablet. Hasn't decided what brand yet but he knows he wants one and they aren't the cheapest toys. So he plans to lose thirty pounds (yes, we both gained about thirty pounds since we started dating over two years ago) before our wedding, and in return he gets a tablet. (!)

Wtf? And what do I get? A more defined sense of self-worth? A smaller dress size? To look drop dead gorgeous in our wedding photos? That's great but how about as well as that, you afford me a new apartment, husband.
