[quote=Anonymous]Like a PP, most of the pressure I feel is from myself, and some from society. I've been in the trenches of pregnancy, nursing, little kid trenches for almost five years now and am clawing my way out. I'm 15lbs heavier than I was before I got pregnant with my oldest, and 40lbs heavier than when we got married. I am working my butt off to be at a healthier, more attractive place.

DH swears he's attracted to me regardless, but he's supportive of my efforts because he knows I'm happier and more self confident when I'm at a lower weight. He knows setting a good, fit example for our kids is important to me. Frankly, our sex life is better when I'm lighter because I am more into it.

I do consider what he finds attractive in making choices about my appearance, though. It's why my hair is a bit longer than it might be otherwise, why I rarely wear make up, and why I wear certain silhouettes over others. I don't feel _pressure_ to do this. I feel compelled because I love him and that's one way I show it - considering his preferences in conjunction with my own.[/quote]
