Hi, I have a huge dilemma. After 20 years of going on about me needing to lose weight, my OH now thinks I am too thin.
I can't believe it. I have finally reached the weight of my dreams. I feel so pleased with myself, I have wanted to be this weight since I was 15 and he wants me to put at least half a stone back on!
I can see that my face looks a bit thin, and that I haven't got a bum anymore, and that my legs are actually thin, but I like it like that. I would rather have the gauntish face so I get the thin legs. My huge thighs and butt have caused me such anguish over the years, I don't want to risk anything to get them back.
I couldn't guarantee where any weight gain would go, and I am terrified about sparking anything off.
I have told him that my glycogen hasn't come back yet and that may make a difference. I am on week 5 of RtM and still losing but I feel like it has mostly stabalised. Part of me thinks, 'Ooo an excuse to eat loads of bread and put weight on in carb week', but I know I don't want to do that
I thought that he would like me being like this but he says I am all skin and bone.
I never thought I would be in this position. My weight seems to be a control issue in our relationship. Am I reading too much into it, should I just let him get used to it?
My M-I-L and kids think I am fine. My sister agrees with my OH.
My instinct is to stay like I am, but I have noticed he can hardly look at me. He likes the look of me from the back but not the front. I find myself sitting with my hands over my face and stomach.
I used to do that when I was huge. It has come full circle.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best wishes
