Been on the MRP journey for a while now and am making gains (not as much as I'd like but they're still gains, must work harder).

But the wife said something to me the other day that got me hamstering. I know I shouldn't dwell on shit like this but I'm trying to decode and translate the womanese in it.

We were talking about being active and working out and she has noticed my weight loss and then she said to me "I don't want you to get too skinny".

I responded with something like "I have a few kgs to go but I'll be gaining muscle too"

I've come down on a few possible meanings for her statement:

  • "If you get any skinnier, I'm going to have to work my arse even harder and I don't want to do that."
  • "If you get skinnier, other women will take more of an interest in you and I don't want that." Her friends already say that I look good to her.

Both possibilities I'm fine with. It means I'm moving in the right direction. Both clearly display that she can see I'm improving myself and my SMV has gone past hers and she's going to have to do something very soon to keep up.

I sense a few shit tests might be on the way soon though. Resistance to change and all that.
