Living My Best Double Life
Losing Weight & What My Affair Partner Said About it
What all men should say to their women.
I put on more than my fair share of Covid weight. At first, I had a routine and was maintaining my weight. Through the late spring, though, eating became one of the only diversions I had other than Netflix.
There’s no chill in our house, and the last time there was chill, there was no Netflix.
By early summer, I had gained about twenty-five pounds or so. More than I needed and the hub started in with his usual ‘pig jokes.’
It wasn’t until a girlfriend mentioned I was looking a little tired that I decided to do something. I was feeling sluggish and needed to shake it off.
So I joined Weight Watchers, not thinking it would work, but I’ve lost thirty-five pounds so far.
I met my lover a handful of times as I expanded and contracted, but he never said a word. And based on his enthusiasm for my body, he didn’t seem to notice my tighter bras and pants.
But when he finally did say something, I nearly cried.
On our way home from our last date, we talked about my weight loss and the goals I set. I feel comfortable talking about my weight with him…
