Happy Valentine's Day to ME!

OK, so I was thinking about how lame V day was and how it just confirmed that my marriage of 9 years was just like my parent's and his parents. Wow! My mind is changed, at least for tonight. We connected, like before we said, "I do".

So, how does this have to do with my diet?

I am recently in the major fat category(although, this isn't the first time I've been fat, as I gained 80 pounds during my pregnancy) I recently adopted my (our 22 month old son) and gained almost the same amount. I think it was the adoption and the fact that I gained 10-15 pounds, literally every other month when I decided to quit smoking.

Once again, how does this have to do with my diet?

Attraction is attraction, it doesn't go away with fat. I think I have to work harder at it because of the deficiency I suddenly feel in myself, but never the less, if you were once attracted to someone, it's likely that even major weight gain can't diminish the "true" attraction that brought a couple together.

Even at my thinnest, I've always been obsessed with weight issues. I asked my husband if he could still "want me" at 400 pounds. He swears to this day, that he would still "want me" the same as when I was thin. OK I don't completely believe him; but I do believe that mostly he is truthful because my husband wants me when I want myself. I mean that in the rare moments when I think I am a hot mama, he treats me like one.

Our husbands are better than what we give them credit for! Mine married me at 320 pounds. He loves me!

Mine married me thin. Stayed with me fat and still loves me today as I get back to thin lol.

Weight never has been nor never will be a factor in how much we love each other. And thats the way it should be =0)

Glad to hear you had a great day!

You say "in the rare moments when I think I am a hot mama, he treats me like one." ... isn't that true! So often what we believe becomes reality. I think that's extra true when it comes to our spouses who love us.

Yay for a happy valentine's day.
