Always Knew I Liked Men Better

For years now I've always known that I get along better with men then with women. In the last week or so this has been reconfirmed.

As you all know I've been trying unsuccessfully for a long time to lose the excess weight I put on when my thyroid stuffed up years ago. Since last May my thyroid has been stabilising and a couple of weeks ago I was given the all OK from the thyroid specialist.

I changed trainers in December and as a result of that change & my thyroid stabilising I've lost almost 20 kilos in the last 6 months. Surprisingly the men in my life have been way more supportive of this then the women. The only exceptions of this are a couple of the women from the gym. Their support kinda surprised me. The three of us have the same trainer. So we all sympathise with each other. But that being said he also uses the three of us to 'motivate' each other. "Well, so and so did this in her session, or Sarah burnt 1000 calories in an hour spin class." The other two women have been really supportive of me and for the last 6 months have always celebrated my accomplishments as well as encourage me when I've hit a wall.

Last week I ran into one of the guys who I hadn't seen since before Christmas, poor kid just about fell over when he saw me last week. He hasn't been the only one. All of my guy friends have been encouraging through out the entire process.

It surprised me because I thought the women in my life would been more encouraging as I thought women would be more sympathetic and understanding. Just goes to show you that you never know.

I want to note here that this entry is simply a commentary on my women here in Australia. My Canadian women have been have been great. This has simply been an entry about the men her being more supportive then the women here, with a couple of exceptions.
