Baggy dear....yes thank you for your perspective. I am sure that you are right in that, as long as we are feeling so in love, then a physical change in appearance will not equate to loss of attraction....well, to a point, of course.

You are also right that in our case, we are both very fit...and because of that, I think we would both lose some amount of attraction for each other if the other were to gain, say, 20 or more pounds in a short period of time (less than that would not be a big deal). But also I think you are right that our love would blind us to it as well....up to a point.

Just to make sure I'm not misleading anyone, however, I want to say that although we are both fit, we are not work out freaks, we are not totally hard muscley people, we both have our soft areas and are pretty "normal" looking on the outside...we don't look like body builders or anything like that. (I am more fit than he is visually because although he is very fit and strong, he does have a tummy....which I don't even see, but others would...). We do not regularly work out at the gym, but we do both work our bodies out regularly by working hard on the house and by having vigorous and long lasting sexual episodes. Anyway....just sayin', we ain't no perfect peoples.

Thanks Baggy...we miss you.
