My oh my, how I wish more people had your sass. I find it very refreshing!
Honey, your H has the weight problem. KWIM? We can't change our weight, health, personality, or much of anything else for anyone but ourselves...or it's like trying to change our shoe size, sooner or later those shoes are coming off!
I knew a lady who weighed 300lbs and was sexy. I never saw her in anything but a nice dress, so what I am referring to as "sexy" was her wonderful, full-of-life personality that just drew people to her.
It's all about attitude,sweetie, and sounds like you've got it. Way to go!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
