As I was watching The Biggest Loser...thoughts

One of Shane and I favorite shows in the Biggest Loser. We have been watching since Season 2. It is one of the 2 shows (the other The Amazing Race) that we can watch together since he is SO busy working and going to school. As I was watching last night with Shane (we DVR it to watch on Wed. nights since Shane gets up later on Thurs it being a school day) I thought of a comment quite a few years ago that my brother's friend made. He basically said that he wouldn't marry a fat girl. When he said this and I was there when he did, I got really angry! How arrogent can you be?!?! And I was in the minority of people who were there that heard the comment (there wasn't a lot of us, but still) who thought this way.   He was defended in thinking this way! There were people in this group who I thought loved me and know that I struggle with my weight and they were defending him and seemed not to care how it was making me feel??
I am SO grateful for a wonderful husband who is perfectly happy with the size that I am even though I am not! He encourages me to do what I want to do to feel better about myself and if I was perfectly happy with my size and weight he would be happy too. He always says "I want YOU to be happy and when you're happy, I'm happy" My sister in laws are skinny ladies and sometimes I feel like the fat girl in the crowd, but they accept me for who I am as well. They are wonderful and I am grateful to have wonderful sister in laws to call sisters. About a week ago because of certain extended family problems (I won't go into detail because I'll get in trouble) I gave back the car my dad was letting me use. Shane and I have worked out a plan with the one car that is ours for my use when needed. When summer comes I REALLY want to sign Corin up for swimming lessons, I think its important and have found a rec. center in walking distance. Exercise has always been a problem for me to do. I am working on controling my environment (not purchase the junk foods that I will eat) and work on controlling my eating habits (if I have cookies I don't need to eat LOTS of them, a couple is plenty) and eating a healthy diet (LOVE shopping at Sprouts and Sunflower for GREAT produce at insanely GREAT deals), but excerise is a struggle. Its a struggling process for me. But, since I feel SO strongly about getting Corin in swimming lessons, walking to the rec. center everyday will be a great benefit to me. (its almost 4miles round trip) and there are a few parks a few miles away that we can as well walk to. We may be doing this often since I have a crabby neighbor who hates Pippin (our dog) and I just rather not deal with him. So, not having a car is really helping me in achieving me goals of weight loss which I have been struggling with.
