My husband and son. While they enjoy pinching and smooshing my fat rolls ('soft n' fluffy,' as hubby calls it), they're very much supportive of my efforts in entering a healthy weight loss lifestyle. Hubby keeps a close watch on what I eat, and admonishes me whenever I get tempted to eat something fatty, sugary, or my son's leftovers.

"Your body is not a trash can," he says. "Don't feed it with junk."

But he's not really concerned about what shape or size I am -- after all, I was overweight when we fell in love. What he really wants for me is to be fit and healthy so I can live long and strong.

My family's been a great help in varying - and very unconventional - degrees. My older sister, who shares my insatiable appetite for chocolate, stopped stashing baked goods in our room. She took it upon herself to to buy a locked cabinet. It's contents, which will always be a mystery to me, promises stacks of cookies, prepackaged cakes and imported chocolate bars. The words 'pms emergency kit' are scratched with a dull nail across the door. She's a fan of horror movies and i appreciate the extra effort to scare me out of sugar.
Mother has finally understood that butter, mayonaise and extra cheese are not part of a balanced meal, even if I'm "only having a sandwhich for lunch". "Eh, konti lang naman eh," is never a valid excuse and "Gaga! kumain ka nga! Nakikita ko na ang buto buto mo!" is an everyday encouragement.
My baby sister, 9 and naive, will always tell me the truth and will scowl if I reach for a donut. And it's nice that she can wrap her arms all the way around me now.
Dad hardly talks, but when he's not complaining about the nest-like mop I have has hair - or threatens to repeat the disaster of '94 when he told his barber i was his "son" so we we can BOTH have CREWCUTS for the price of one - he complains that my clothes are too baggy and suggests i borrow my mom's size 0 dresses.
My younger sister, plump but eternally fit, blatantly displays her concotions of late late night snacks. No - she's no help at all.

Hello. just want to share my own funny husband-support story, my husband loves to pinch my love handles, the inner part of my thighs, the fat around my bra line and the flab in my arms which I am definite you will agree with me, those parts are really the most painful parts. That would remind me that I'm gaining pounds and that I need to cutback on my food intake and start doing exercise again. Sometimes, it's quite frustrating but yeah, that is the kind of support I get from my husband. :) I think I'll reward him with a quality time jogging again like we use to do when we are still in the courtship stage.
