Being supportive...

So...I'm turning over a new leaf and trying to be healthier. I'm working out. I'm watching what I eat. Blah blah blah. And I must say that I appreciate the support I've received from my boyfriend. Even though he said, "This diet sucks." He's making the effort to support me. For instance, he was grocery shopping the other evening and he made sure to get "snacks" that I could eat (pretzles, popcorn, etc.). He purposefully stayed away from all of the sweets and junk food that I love so much. I was very touched by how thoughtful he was being. And then...dun dun dun I was at his place this weekend and grabbed an oreo I only got one bite before he snatched it out of my hand and ate the other half. I was pissed. I really wanted that oreo. But I love him for being committed to the guidlines I set.

I say all this to say that if your partner is trying something new just support them. Regardless how you feel about it personally. If it's something they feel strongly about and is something that is for their betterment, you should support them. It's hard to change your lifestyle on sheer will power. It takes support from those around you.

'Tis all. Carry on.

There's no "i" in team...

but there is in sorority. LOL! No but seriously, how can we serve our fellow man if there are people with their own agendas? If you are not going to a part of the solution you are most certainly a part of the problem and you are holding us back. When there is something to be done you should say, "How can I help?" and not "That's not my job." I'm sorry you madame are wrong and I'm calling you out. Good day. And I mean that in THE most sisterly way possible.
