There is more of you to be loved in this world

I just returned from a short vacation with my boyfriend. We have a long distance relationship: I am in California and he is in Amsterdam. Despite the distance, our relationship is steady and has been going strong for the past six years. After every get together, I reaffirmed my commitment to the relationship. It just feels right despite everything. It is a worthwhile endeavor.

He is quite the gentleman and an avid reader. I am envious of him as he can easily get lost in books, newspapers or anything online and consequently, lost track of time. He is a renaissance man and I called him my walking wikipedia.  He has a knack at knowing what to say in a very nice way while getting the message accross.

Being in my forties, my waistline is widening and my craving for dessert seems to be growing in parallel to my waistline. I have been trying to reduce the muffin top situation and have not seen any improvement. In fact it has gotten worse in the last 3 months.

My loving boyfriend took notice and in an endearing fashion ( with a cheeky grin)  told me that there is more of me to be loved in this world.  How can I be offended but love him a little more.
