How am I doing? Need some encouragement......

WOW LHS! You are really losing a lot of weight! That's great! Hopefully your H has noticed this and will be made to question his choices even more!

Thanks Sam!

He's noticed, but I don't know if it's making him question anything. OW is still significantly thinner than I am, so I don't think it plays a role right now. I did wear something a bit more, how shall I say this, "form-fitting" than I usually do on Thanksgiving (something that showed off "the girls", if you catch my drift), and for the first time in a long time, he said I looked nice. Now, I don't know if that's just because it was a holiday and he was just trying to be nice, but I'll take what I can get.

Right now most of my clothes "hang" on me, because I'm not willing to spend a lot of money on clothes that I hope will be too big on me soon, but I have had to buy three new (increasingly smaller) pairs of jeans just so that I had a pair of pants that fit! Pretty much everything is too big, so I think that is actually hiding to a certain degree how much weight I have lost. When I actually do get some better-fitting clothes, I'm sure he will take more notice.

Actually, I kind of like the idea of seeing him one day and finally wearing some clothes that show off my new body! I'd love to see a look of shock on his face! I'm only 30 pounds away from where we were when we got married. I know that sounds ridiculous, ONLY 30 pounds! But considering that I have lost 33 pounds in the last 2 months, it doesn't seem like that much to me right now. I figure by Easter, I could look even better than I did the day we got married! And if he still doesn't want me, then I am sure SOMEONE will!

From a guy's point of view, how much of an influence on your feelings for a woman is her weight? Especially in my sitch, being so heavy to begin with? Oh, and considering that H has actually told me that my weight is an issue for him? (Don't worry, I'm losing the weight for ME, not for him. This is something I have needed to do for a long time, and for health reasons as well, high-cholesterol and pre-diabetes issues).
