My wife wanted to try a plant based diet and I said I would join her. We normally split the grocery shopping and the cooking depending on who is having the busier week, but for the last month she has really been into this and insisting on doing both. (I have happily become Dish Guy).
We’ve both also cut out dairy, and most alcohol.
After one month: I’ve lost 11 lbs, and wife had lost 3.5.
She is disappointed but not defeated, and weight loss was not her primary goal, anyway. But this morning after weighing herself, yeah, she is bummed. On the other hand, I was obese, whereas she is definitely not.
Meanwhile I am fucking ecstatic. I have about 15 more pounds to lose, but I know longer look/feel like I am smuggling a bowling ball under my shirt. My digestion is better. I look forward to gym days.
But I am not stupid, and will not (yet) express all this to my wife. I told her that her results sound really frustrating, and I know she’ll keep making progress. I told her I love her new recipes and I want her to teach me some. She’ll get to where she wants to be.
But meanwhile, hooray for me, Reddit. Thanks!
