Attitude:
Wow, my day started off really great! Ok, a little back story before I proceed. I'm married to one of those men that if you ask him a question, he'll tell you the honest answer. I call him "brutally" honest. For example when trying on clothes and I ask him how it looks, he's not going to worry about what he thinks I want him to say, he's going to say how it looks! LOL At first I thought, "How rude! Doesn't he know husbands are just supposed to say it looks great and not squash my feelings when I think something looks good?" Now, don't get me wrong, he's not mean about what he says at all, he's just, honest. Anyway, I now really appreciate this trait in him and here's one of the reasons why. When he compliments me, I know it's the truth and not just something he's saying because he thinks he's supposed to. Back story over, here's what happened: I have this green shirt that's been hanging in the closet. It's one of those I bought a LONG time ago (size 18/20) from Lane Bryant. Now, when I tried it on in the store, I thought I looked good. I bought it and when I got home I tried it on for HHT. He got that look on his face. So, I asked the question. I got the answer. "It kind of shows off your belly rolls." Again, not said to be mean, just an honest observation. I was crushed! He recognized that and said he was sorry. But the truth is the truth and so I told him I appreciated the honesty, it is just sometimes hard to hear. Fast forward to today, at least 3-5 years later. I put on "the shirt". I like it and am willing to show myself off, rolls and all. LOL HHT sees me and says, "I like that shirt. It shows off all your curves." I started laughing! So the same shirt that brought such a downer and now been the same shirt that made my day! I must be making progress, because HHT doesn't lie!
