I’m 25. A newlywed. My husband says, “Are you going to eat that?” and “Did you work out today?” and “Don’t forget, we have Steve’s wedding coming up,” and “I thought you said you were cutting back after the holidays.” I make an appointment with Jenny Craig. The rep weighs me. The rep explains the meal plans and pricing. The rep watches while I fill out the paperwork and says, “You only need to lose, like, ten pounds.” I write her a check and drive home with my boxes of meals. When I leave my husband a year later, my grandmother scolds me for not sticking it out, for not trying harder. She says, “But he takes good care of you. He doesn’t beat you, or anything.” ~ Teri Carter.
