I am overweight and today a guy told me--

So nice, OP! Glad you all are still together, that you support & love each other the way you are, and that you shared your happiness with us! <3

Thanks everyone. I am trying to get to a healthier place for me, he definitely supports but not in a judgmental way whatsoever. We like to go to the gym together. I've had some knee/foot issues which have prevented me from being as active as I would like (and the weight certainly doesn't help that...)

Have been making great choices recently and motivated to continue.

Last week, we celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. This fall we will celebrate our 18th year as a couple. When I met my wife, she had just lost a huge amount of weight and was at her lowest in her adult life. Since then she's had health issues, 17 surgeries (in 13 years), medications that have thrown her body chemistry off and ones that have just plain made her gain weight (long-term prednisone, anyone?). Her weight has fluctuated a lot over the years. And I really don't care what size she is. I want her to be happy and healthy.

You know what? She's still the princess I married, the mother of my children and the girl of my dreams. I wants us to grow old together.

The best that I can wish you, OP is that you are as happy as I am.

This is such a sweet post . PP, you are a keeper. I hope your wife knows that she picked a good one. Cheers to health and happiness for both of you.

OP, sounds like you got a keeper too. Way to go!

Not OP, but it took me a while to accept that my DH really did like my body after having kids, and even longer to accept that he liked it even better with some added weight. But one day I decided that this is how my body is and it isn't going to change too much without surgery, so I might as well believe him! Men like you and my DH are definitely keepers.

That's it!

My SILs are all curvy women - at least 10-15 pounds over their desired weight. My brothers who are strapping tall men with muscles do not like skinny women.

Good for you, OP. Just PLEASE be careful not to criticize yourself and your body in front of a guy. You should project confidence.

Maybe he has a big girl fetish?

Why is it a"fetish" to be attracted to someone who is bigger but normal to be attached to a woman who is skin and bones? My DH is another man who thinks that "model" look is really unappealing. (I'm not 200+ but a curvy size 10)
