    I know how you feel OP. I felt a little like you about 7 weeks ago now. I have a wife who says the same things as your husband, but I shake my head and wonder how she can see the beauty in me when all I can see is rolls of flab, stretch marks and bingo wings. But since my journey here, I am starting to see a new me and not just physically. I am stronger and more determined than I ever thought possible. I have lost 10 pounds, my arms are toning up, I have muscles in my legs that are showing through the fat and I am losing inches. I am starting to like myself, I see the smile on the smaller face creeping back, my eyes are starting to shine again, I smile when I am wiping dripping sweat off my face because I just ran on the treadmill. My kids are learning by example and are starting to make healthier food choices, my wife joined me and has lost 6 pounds and I think to myself...I did that and it is a good feeling. Emotionally and physically, I am a better person and that feeling of pride is amazing. You can do tis, we all know you can xxx

    I was you almost 2 years ago. Husbands just don't get it. But honey you are beautiful or your hubby would not have fallen in love with you. You can do this. Let's get you feeling like the person you are. Outside as well as in. Sent you a request. :-)

    Look around you. There are plenty of men with overweight wives who have great marriages! Don't make unfounded assumptions.

    So true, and a high percentage of men don't judge women by their bodies (there are a few but ignore them) just remember they are lucky to have you!!!

    Women as a race are the worst critics of other women.

    You are your own worst enemy, there is nothing anyone else can say that you haven't thought or felt at one point. It is about a whole new mentality. Change your mental attitude and you have by coming onto MFP so all I can say is good luck and enjoy the new lifestyle you are creating and I hope your self esteem comes in leaps and bounds
