I know where you're coming from. Always having to take care of others leaves little time for yourself. I am 38 and have been a mother for 22 years. Before that I was the one taking care of the other kids at home. Somewhere we have to realize that to be able to take care of them, we have to take care of ourselves. Sounds like you have wonderful goals. It made me smile to hear you talk about your husband. Mine is the same. I know that he would be happy to see me in a 12 instead of a 22, but all he ever says is how beautiful I am to him. Sometimes I wish he would go ahead and say "yeah, I guess you could lose a few pounds", but then I think back to my first husband who used to tell me that looking at me made him sick to his stomach and made me change clothes in another room or with the lights off. That was when I was a size 13. So, I think I like the unconditional love alot better!
