[quote=Anonymous]Your DH sounds like mine. My husband is superfit and lean, he is in shape and views it as a self control thing. People can't help how smart or athletic or good looking they are, but absent a medical condition, they can control their weight. I feel the same way.

That said, I am 5'7 and used to weigh 225.  When I met dh, I had dropped down to 180.  My lowest weight ever was 150 and to be honest, he didn't like me at 150 (too skinny for me - deflated boobs, no curves).  He and I like me best at around 155 or so.  After I had my son, I stayed at 185 for a long time. Depression, anxiety, etc. Running helped a lot. So did going primal -- cutting out the carbs really did wonders for me.  I am currently pregnant with #2 and trying to wath what I eat. After this baby, I will marathon train and go primal again. Weight watchers also helps in terms of portion control and accountability. That's how I got down to 150 back in the day! Finally, I am not above doing a eating program like nutrisystem. I know someone who lost 50 lbs on their program in about four months.

For those who husband bash, well, I'm not sure what to say because even though my dh is very conscientious about weight, he has never said anything about my weight. Then again, we met and fell in love when I was 180 so that's his baseline, I suppose? He also likes his women curvy. I wear a size 12 when not pregnant and I hate it-- prefer to be in 8's. But DH truly doesn't seem to care about my weight... Granted he has snickered at my 225 lb photos![/quote]
