Re: Question for All Married and Weight Challenged Women (slightly OT)

[Guest guest]

Well well.. My hubby has always been awesome with my weight. Doesn't care at all

about how I look. The only thing he's concerned about is my health in the long

run because of my mom being overweight and just getting diagnoised with diabetes

and breast cancer on her side too. So, he's just fine with my weight just

worries about the long run. He's a good guy.

Hugs,

Hi, ya'll. Didja think I fell off the net? Well, I've been skimming

messages and not finding time to reply much, but I had to reply to this one.

I've had the same experience as the others that have spoken up. DH and I

have been married for 13 years. I met him at a not bad for my frame size

14, have been as low as a size 12, but now, 15 years, 6 pregnancies, 1 child

and (maybe still) one on the way later, I am 95 pounds heavier, and a size

24 and he still loves me as much as ever. He still tells me how good I look

and he is as attracted to me as ever. As many others have said, he worries

about my health, and wishes I'd lose some for that reason, but he really

doesn't care what I weigh. I believe wholeheartedly that if it really is

love, the man will love you for YOU. If he professes to love you, but can't

get past your weight.....there's something amiss. What you are is inside

you, not outside you. I love to admire a sexy hardbody as much as the next

gal, but would have never dreamed of marrying a person for his looks without

finding out what's inside. I expect no less from the man in my life, and

lucky me...that's just what I got.

I've been so busy this weekend, and I'm sure I've missed everything having to do

with this post, but I'll throw my .02 in for good measure. I am lucky enough to

be married to a wonderful guy who couldn't care less what the scale says when I

stand on it. I was about 160-170 when we got married in 1993 and have gone up

and down in the past 10 years. up to 200, down to 180, up to 250, down to 195,

back up to 245, now at 230 and going down again, but he honestly doesn't see it.

The way he sees it, I've also had my share of bad haircuts, but it never changed

who I am, which is who he fell in love with, so why should it matter. He's

totally supportive of me wanting to lose weight, but he wants me to do it for

me, not for him.

It goes both ways, too. He's going bald (started in his 20's and now, at 31,

he's got a rather large thinning spot on the top of his melon) and gray but I

couldn't care less if he went completely chrome dome. I didn't fall in love with

his hair. Period.

I do know ladies who have had that stupid male party who says " You shouldn't eat

that, you're fat enough as it is " and so forth, but I've never had the slightest

inkling of that from my dh (who, by the way, is 6'2 " and weighs about 190. I

sure hope our son got Daddy's metabolism!)

I want to hear from you as to how your husbands are

about weight. Specifically, has it ever happened to

you that your husband is less concerned with your

weight than you are?

Hi Barbara

I married my DH 35 years ago this year, I was a slim

19yr old. Unlike most women I didn't gain weight when

I was pregnant, that came afterwards.

I asked my hubby, when I was at my heaviest, what he

thought of my weight and whether it made any

difference to the way he felt about me. He said he

loved me no matter what weight I was, said there was

just more of me to love.(Bless Him) But he was

concerned about my health. Though he didn't believe me

when I said I was going to lose weight, he had heard

it too often before, and it just never happened. Well

last year I got to goal and he was over the moon about

it. lol I have since gained a bit back and trying to

get it off again. He has started worrying about my

health again, poor man, I have plenty of health

problems without adding to them. This time I will get

it off and keep it off. I know my hubby is proud of me

for my efforts, and I love him dearly.
