What I learned from a watermelon and a bag of cat food!!

[Jiminy102]

I was emptying a 20lb. bag of cat food into the containter that we keep it in yesterday when myDh said "Just think that is almost how much weight you have lost." I said I know but had not really thought about it. A few minutes later he picked up a watermellon he had bought and asked if the watermellon felt really heavy or if it was just him. It was really heavy!!! It wasn't even that big just heavy!! So we were both wondering how much it weighed so he took it upstairs and put it on the scale. WHile he was gone It actually hit me about the cat food and how much weight that reallly was!!! I was shocked. WHen he got back downstairs he handed me the watermellon again and said this is how much weight you have lost. It was an 18 lb watermollon!!! Right after he cut it he said if he had been thinking he wold have had me waalk up the stairs with it!!!! I cna't even imagine doing that!!!! It is one thing to picture 18lbs of butter but another to be holding it all!!!! So if you want to appreciate and I mean really appreciate how much weight you have lost find a watermellon or a bag of dog food!!!

WHat an encouraging hubby you have. How nice of him to take notice and help you comprehend exactly what 20 lbs. of weight is! I bet even he has a new appreciation of what you've done! Isn't that funny when you suddenly realize just what you've done? And the best part about it is that it is a good thing you've done... not quite the feeling you'd have if you were realizing you had put that 20 lbs on- huh?!?! Congrats on the 20 lb weight loss. That is hard thing to do.
