[quote=Anonymous]I am late to this post...but on the first pages it was making generalizations about gaining 50lbs must mean you are unhappy/no sex life..etc.  In my case I have gained 50lbs since I married my husband 8 years ago.  He has stayed pretty much the same ( lost some muscle and a little hair ha but weight wise).  My husband still tells me I am beautiful every.single.day.  Our sex life is amazing and we have two beautiful kids and honestly are so happy. Of course we bicker over normal things, but at the end of the day we are each others best friend, we make each other laugh more than anybody else and we just generally have fun together. . I have also managed to work my way up from a lower level job to a pretty nice higher level job in the past 8 years ( so I am not lazy).  Anyways, the point of this is some generalizations that weight = unhappy/bad sex/slobs I honestly don't think that is always the case. Personally for me it was being underweight when we got married , two pregnancies and not doing a great job getting baby weight off.  My youngest is 1 and I have just started working out again, and hope to loose some weight--I want to be healthy and my cholesterol is starting to go to the "bad" column--very early on, but loosing weight I know could help. I just found it disheartening reading some of the earlier pages that its okay to leave a spouse if they gain 50lbs or that means they stopped having sex/have given up...being a mom to a daughter I am disheartened a lot at this "beauty is the most important" rhetoric...I agree with the OP aren't we all so much more than that.
