Aw, some guys tend to just take you at your word & respond to that-- he probably didn't know how to reassure you! But with that said, it's always great to have something to motivate you Feel free to add me. I just got back in the game after a month or so of slacking :-/ haha0

Don't be too hard on your hubby. Us guys are not the sharpest tools in the shed! We mean well, but sometimes the brain is just not connected to the mouth!
As for feeling frumpy, this is all up to you. My experience (Male) has been that as I progressed in my weight loss and my fitness level improved, so did my self esteem. Not that my self worth is based upon my looks! But, as a fat person, I was always a back of the class person (out of sight, out of mind). As I started to see success in my fitness goals, I gained some pride and confidence.
Although I am still basically a shy person, I am now much more comfortable with who I am and how I appear to others.
Best of luck on your journey!0 -
I'm new also. Would love to join you in being motivated. I have the same feelings sometimes and it gets hard to stay on track when your doing it alone. Feel free to add me!0

My boyfriend has told me almost every day for years that I am beautiful, but for the majority of the those years, I have hated myself. I appreciated that he thought that way about me, but it didnt take away the hate i had for myself. We were on a trip this past summer, and once again I had gained back 15 of the 20 pounds I lost last winter. We were shopping at a deadly outlet mall, and nothing fit, nothing looked good, and it made the day really depressing cuz he was buying lots of clothes. I got a glimpse in a window of myself, and i wanted to cry. I was wearing comfy capris with a tshirt, hair not done, and minimal makeup. I felt like a lazy cow. I know how you feel. Our hubbies obviously love us and think we are beautiful, now we need to think that way ourselves!!0

We all have days like that, but my mindset is fake it until I make it.
I wear nice clothles, keep my makeup and hair done. It makes a difference.0 -
That is my exact timeline to lose 37 pounds. I will be your buddy!0

Your husband could have put it better, but he probably didn't know what to say. Men are sometimes like that. I am glad that I have a husband who usually knows what to say. My sternum and abdomen have 11 incision scars on it and I told him that I look like frankenstein and he was so cool and told me that they were battle scars of me staying alive and he is so glad to spend every minute with me and that he doesn't notice them at all. But people often don't say the right things and are don't know that they come off wrong. Don't let it get you down. Brush it off and move on. Get all dressed up with makeup on and wow him! Please feel free to add me for support and motivation.0

It's those days when you go shopping with your friends and they go to places like Express, American Eagle, etc. and pick up sizes 0 and 2 that make you feel like a fat cow. I love my workout buddies who encourage me with the progress I have already made and tell me they are going to whip me into shape!! I doubt I'll ever fit into a 0 or 2, but I would be proud to look good in an 8!0

I'm sorry you're feeling that way! I have definitely been there myself, which is why I'm here now. I'm new to the community and looking for support and encouragement as well! I've been up and down with my weight for years, constantly battling my self-esteem and self image. I'm working on a lifestyle change so I can be happy and see what my boyfriend sees in me. Feel free to add me as a friend!0
