SP - See above post to Mike about size/weight...

I really do understand what you're saying about what men think about women's weights... I think I was 5 lbs up from where I am now when I met my H, dated, and he married me.

It's what the extra weight makes me FEEL like right now that is the problem...

Good question re: self-awareness, and H's cool factor... I'm loyal to a fault, so, I'd probably "just deal." UGH! THAT'S UGLY.

And, FUNNY, what you say about how men treat their mother's. Had that hesitation while we were dating... How does one cut off their communication/love with their family? His M
om was dead by the time we met, so I'm not sure of their relationship, but he has a sparkle in his eye when he tells stories of her. Sounds like we were very much alike. He was extremely good to his Dad... not sure it was because his Dad guilted him into being good to him, or true desire to be.

I really appreciate you guys checking in, giving some feedback from a male perspective.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
