Move scale.....MOVE!!!!

Okay.....it IS moving....but not quite fast enough for my taste. lol I am soooooo close to another milestone in my weight loss journey and it's driving me crazy watching the scale move down so slowly. Why can't it just give me what I want when I want it???? Is it really too much to ask? lol I think I'm just getting antsy because of where Erik is at and though I'm thrilled to pieces for him, sometimes it's hard to keep the green eyed monster from escaping when comparing myself. This is one hard thing when it comes to losing weight as a couple. Men *always* lose faster than women. That's just plain and simple FACT. But, it's soooo not fair. Especially because we are doing the exact same thing. Which brings me to something that's been bugging me for a few days.......
We were at Church on Sunday and I had several people comment/compliment me on my loss and I was feeling really good. :) Then one gentleman, and I *know* this was completely innocent and he meant absolutely nothing by it.....but he starts talking about Erik and how he's absolutely melted away. I tell him, "Yeah, he's ounces away from 100 pounds lost!" He says, "That's incredible, he must be very dedicated!" To which I replied, "Yeah, we both have been." He goes for a quick cover of, "That's great! Congratulations to you both!"
Okay.....maybe slightly petty of me. lol Yes, I realize that Erik has lost 100 pounds and due to the way his weight was proportioned on his body.....yes, it was everywhere, but he had a very large, protruding gut and with that gone especially, his weight loss is incredibly evident. Whereas, my weight was spread everywhere, so there's no "one" thing on me that is so evident in loss.....because it's shrinking from everywhere pretty evenly. But, I have lost SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS!!!! It's nothing to sneeze at!!!! I have been doing this the exact same amount of time, with every bit the dedication that he has.....and it simply boils down to him being a man and me a woman. So, it just irked me in that moment having Erik gushed about with no acknowledgment of my own. lol I really was nice about it though! ;)

Just want the scale to move faster, this milestone coming up is a big one and it's so close I can taste it!!! Maybe I'll actually post what it is when it happens. :)
