Lil,

Aside from some pregnancy weight, which she got rid of after a short while, my wife's weight has fluctuated from 120-130 lb. over the past 20 years. She is 5'6", so she is a pretty slight person. She has a body that most women her age would kill for, but she is really unhappy about it. She has been on a diet for a month now and was complaining how she hasn't lost any weight. I suggested that she really didn't have much weight to loose. I told her that she is already at a healthy weight and she should focus on increasing her excercise level, which would make her feel better anyway.

In my opinion, a poor body image is one of many important factors that contribute to her unwillingness to have sex. In the morning, before she has put on a bra and is in a topless state, she hides her breasts from my view and complains how ugly and saggy they are. I used to argue these points with her, but she doesn't give my opinion much credence in these matters.

In my personal experience, I did not try standing up for my issue regarding our lack of sex life until I lost a bunch of weight. There was something in me that said "Look at how fat you are! I can't blame her for not having sex with you." Mind you, she never brought it up to me as a problem. But when she sees obese people on TV or in public, she frequently makes derisive comments. So I've always wondered if she's been harboring feelings of disgust over my body (I'm no longer obese, but I'm still overweight).

On a related note, I just got done watching "The Wedding Singer" with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore on TV. My wife commented that it is too bad how DB gets picked on for her weight. Personally, I find her very attractive. It's not her looks, so much as her personality, especially in that role. There is something really sweet and winning that comes shining through.

Men are initially attracted to a nice pair of boobs, or a flat tummy, or (as in my case) beatiful eyes and a great ass . But in order to develop any kind of lasting attraction to someone, I think most of us find some aspect of our mates' personality is what really hooks us.

BTW, to answer your question, I think that dress compliments your figure perfectly!
