[quote=Anonymous]My DH doesn't like it.  I weigh about 13 pounds more than I really want to, and about 18-23 pounds more than I dream of weighing.  I did weigh my dream weight about 5 years ago, but I ate nothing.  Since then, I have become much more sedentary and I also started to stress eat.  All the weight goes to my stomach.

He wants us both to work out more and lose weight, but at the moment he has less to lose than I do and is better about motiviating himself to work out.  I get tired of hearing about it all the time, honestly, but I also know I need to lose the weight.

What is worse than my husband's focus on this for both him and me, is my doctor's.  I always comforted myself with the thought that I was really trying to be skinny, and maybe I should acceopt average at almost 50 years old + following two kids and three ab surgeries for various medical things (well, one was a c-section but the others were not).

My doctor has me weighing in every two weeks and kept asking me at a recent checkup whether my husband was refusing to have sex with me.  Apparently 132 lbs is obese for 5'4".  So my little comfort idea that it wasn't really so bad was all wrong.  I had a bad enough body image my entire life and flirted with anexoria throughout middle school, so the official stamp that now I really do have a fat body is very painful.[/quote]
