My wife said lose the weight or she will cheat on me. Can't argue with that I suppose, so I'm here.

What a beautiful story. I wish you both all the happiness you deserve. Good job on the weight loss, and doing it for YOU!

I thought I fell in love once. He made me feel like I was number one. He would do anything and everything for me. We talked for hours all the time.... Then he took me to Vegas for a week once, and spared no expense on the things. He preplanned the trip... Front row seats to Celine Dion, front row seats to Circ'd Soli (however you spell it). A master suite at a top hotel, some of the best fine dining.. the works. We came back home and he was acting distant. He told me things were OK, then I started feeling embarrassed and unconformable around him because I could feel him "changing". First I thought, it's just me, he's prob fine. Then he stopped calling as often, kept the conversations shorter, the intimacy was unemotional on his part, which made me feel even worse about myself. The first Valentines Day that came, I never heard from him at all. He avoided my calls for like 4 days. Then called finally to tell me, "hey sorry I haven't called.... but I can't get past your weight issue, and I just need end things and move on". So... needless to say, I was devastated!!! All the insecurities I had and the things I said to myself were told to me by the 1st person I ever actually fell in love with in my life. I'm 53 and have had my share of relationships, but this was the one!, or so I thought.

Things got very dark for me for several years. I got up to an all time high of 390 lbs. In August of 2013, I decided I was done feeding my body so much junk, just waiting for it to die, that I began my LAST weight loss journey. I am working every day on living healthy and telling myself I am worth it and deserve to be happy... with myself first and foremost.

A story as beautiful as yours, gives me hope that one day I may actually find a guy that is deserving of me, should I choose to let anyone get that close again. It's a long hard thing to overcome. Not sure the fear of rejection ever goes away for someone who has battled obesity for most of their life. Even after you get to a healthy weight. But!!! I plan on being around a long time to find out

Thank you again for sharing your beautiful story:flowerforyou:

I briefly dated a beanpole once and he brought up my weight pretty early in the relationship...it hurt so bad! And I wanted to change myself for him. Funny thing is, when it ended, he dated a couple of different girls that I ended up getting to be close friends with. They are both large too. He goes for large women and then makes them feel like nothing. Funny thing, it's years down the road and he's still lonely and single. All 3 of us girls are happily married (the other 2 married beanpoles, mine's pretty average in weight). I spent all of my adult life overweight (to be honest, obese), and knowing that I didn't get the dates like the other girls because of my weight. My desperation told me to lose weight so I could be loved. My bitterness told me they wouldn't be worth it if they didn't love me how I was.

Eventually my husband came along. He's 5 years younger and I'm 50 pounds heavier than him now (with my 39 lbs lost). He never once said anything about my weight (or age for that matter). Anytime I brought up my weight he would just say he would support me and wants me to be healthy and happy. He has been my best supporter and I wouldn't be successfully on this journey without him. I never have to wonder if he'll lose interest in me for keeping on a few pounds after having kids.

I'm sure it hurt to hear him say that your weight bugged him, but honesty is huge as well, even when it hurts. Now...as for checking out other women, I wouldn't be able to stand that...

I'm happy you've found a guy that is supporting you, and that, like me-you're finally doing it for YOU! All you others out there that have lost hope-I promise they're out there!
