MSM, I was very thin growing up and my weight was holding ok even after two kids. After the third I lost most of my weight but was not "thin" I guess around a size 12-14. When I went to work 9 years ago I started gaining weight. I ate from stress and Lord knows I had a ton of stress with a sick husband and an extremely taxing job. I would gain and lose, gain and lose but NEVER got down to my previous size 12-14. My H was not thrilled about it and let me know that he did not like it and he had not married an overweight person. I know that he still loved me - but I didn't fly in yesterday - he liked the way I looked before gaining weight. When all of this LD hit us due to illness/medication I thought that one way to improve our relationship was to lose the weight - I didn't want ANYTHING to hinder our sex life. I went to Weight Watchers last June 21 and have lost a substantial amount of weight. I now wear a size 10 jeans and am heading for size 8. I feel good about losing the weight - it feels good to go into the store and buy the cute little tops and jeans. My H thinks that I look great and I am glad for that. We are currently working on the LD problem but I know that I have done everything possible to remove some of the obsticales. I know that it is not easy to do but it has been nice to see approval in my husband's eyes and occationally desire. I am working on seeing the desire more often!
