Thread: How did your marriage change after weightloss

My marriage hasn't really been affect by my size as such, what it has been affected by is my confidence in myself.

I am lucky enough to have a husband that loves me as much as I love him and he has been distressed at my disgust at my size but has never given a damn about it himself.

The problem has never been with our relationship - it's been with how I've felt about myself and because he understands that he's been fantastically supportive whenever I've tried to address it.............truthfully wouldn't have been a fraction as happy without him

Been together 33 years ???? Wow

Mine has changed,,, I think, then it could be me like it was beofre ..mmmm Surley it can not be me all the time huh!!! Ok I'm working on it ,,

Don't think our weight loss has changed our marriage, we're still as solid as ever 20years after our first meet.

Undoubtedly though, aspects of our lives have changed. I'm quite a scoiable person but had lost a lot of confidence and didn't go out as often as I would have liked; now I have regained that and I'm always out and about. DH has also lost 6st but is a natural loner and so continues to stay home and chill. He does moan sometimes that I'm never around but I stand my ground and tell him that he is welcome to join me, after all I don't force him to come out and do something he's not happy to do so he shouldn't make me stay in and do something I don't want just to keep him company.

We are both more enegetic and walk the dogs most evenings which used to be a chore but now we both enjoy it and it's 'our time' to catch up on the day.

As for our lovelife......well lets just say we are re-discovering positions!! Funny thing is I really hadn't noticed how staid and routine we'd become!!!

He has no worries about being traded in after all it's like I have a new hubby and he has a new wife. I like it when other women admire him cos it's good to know that he's all mine! He feels proud of me too and enjoys to 'show me off' nice thought but I know I'm a long way from being a trophy wife!!!
