I want to keep this thread going because it helps me to keep focused on the task of getting back into shape, and plus being in good shape is good for our sex lives!
Update: I can finally see my old body coming back. Welcome back, old friend, I want to shout! I didn't really notice it but the last 3 times we've ML, my husband has made comments about the change and the last time he said (while cupping the squeezy bit/backside area) "you are feeling like your old self again!!" I was curious so I took a good look at myself the other day, as I stepped out of the shower and, sure enough, I am looking sorta like myself. I still have lots of weight to take off, but the general shape is getting back to normal. This is the motivation I needed. This time of year is hard with all the food and liquor but I am now inspired to keep going.
Seeing and hearing my H's enthusiasm for my dwindling body reminded me that it has been almost a year since he's been physically attracted to me. That gave me a twinge of resentfulness, wondering why he couldn't have found it in himself to be turned on despite the extra poundage, but I am proud to say that I was successful at stopping those thoughts and replaced them with happiness that he is able to give voice to those thoughts--not too long ago, he would have kept such things locked up inside.
