Mat Keel is My Hero (Isn't a "hero" a sandwich?) Food get out of my head!!!

My husband inspires me.  I suppose that is what a husband is supposed to do, so I am truly grateful.  He gives me unconditional love. He truly is my very best friend.  I feel safe with him. I can tell him anything.  He protects me and lifts me up.  I could never have asked or imagined I would have a man like him to spend my life with...so then why the heck was I so JEALOUS of him yesterday!?!?!?!?!?!?!  Yesterday we had a family barbecue at the park...(food, food, food!!!)...and seeing that it was gonna be over 75 degrees I asked Mat if he wanted to wear shorts.  He gave me a pair of shorts (I was ironing the clothes) that he hadn't worn since last summer.  As he put them on I heard him say "What the heck?" he walks in the living room and shows me that his shorts that fit him perfectly (maybe a little snug) last summer are now seriously about 5 inches too big!!!  They literally were falling off!!!  So he got a belt he hadn't used in awhile and he had to MAKE A NEW HOLE (that sounds really funny to me right now) in the belt because it was too big!!!  I guess Billy Blanks really knows his stuff because it is definitely working on Mat!!!  The only thing he has done differently since he started working out it January is he does not eat fast food and he only drinks water (and milk in his cereal)  Every now and then he will have a sweet snack, but he used to be a junk food junkie when it came to Twinkies and things like that!!!  I feel so convicted!!!  I should not have been jealous of my husband!!!  I was happy for him too...but I wished it were me!!!  So today, cold turkey it is, no more sodas...I switched from caffeinated sodas to non-caffeinated but sugar is sugar is sugar no matter what form it's in...I guess I had myself convinced that I was doing better for myself by choosing Sprite over Coke...(Ah the things we do to make ourselves feel less guilty)  So to my husband I say congratulations Mat...I LOVE YOU!!!  Now go eat some doughnuts darn it before I have to divorce your behind!!!
