why is it when you are first with a person they are so agreeable and lead you to believe that they are at least somewhat interested in the same things that you are and then everything changes?! GRRRRRRR! :[ The man is not being very supportive of the excersise thing... and he really should be especially since he himself could use some. Don't get me wrong he is doing a great job on the diet aspect and I am very proud of him but he could at least be a little more supportive of my excersise. I have different goals right now because I want to be a healthier person , but don't need to loose any weight like he does. Thanks to all wo read my ravings. I do love my husband ( I wouldn't have married him if I didn't) but He can just be so frustrating sometimes. :)

Don't worry a lot of people know that one as well, me too. My husband is okey today, he doesn't say anything any longer but uuuuuuhhhhhh I wish he could be more serious about the training.

Give him some time, when he'll notice the results maybe he'll change!! (or maybe he's afraid of you getting too goodlooking to other men?!!....)

When my husband first started noticing the changes I was making he got a lil' jealous too, the worse was when I told him I wanted to compete. I thought he was gonna loose it.

But it wasn't long before he got back into the swing of things and we did it together. Now we have pose downs in the kitchen and fuss about who's bigger. (Of-course, he wins every time, considering he's up 125 lbs from me.

Try to make it into a hobby for the both of you, something you can do together. Good luck!

ok so I feel you, my problem is my husband is so fit it's sick, when we met I was a size 4, then one day I woke up fat. I know I'm over weight but he insists that I haven't gained that much weight (now a size 15) and it makes me feel that he's lying in turn trust is gone if I'm not attracted to me I know he isn't. and the sex life has gone down hill, only due to my insecuritys what to do?

Sounds like you need to work on your insecurities...just because YOU don't like YOU doesn't mean your husband doesn't like you...you may feel you're big and not attractive...but your husband apperantly doesn't...for now...you keep harping to him that you're over weight...and he'll believe it too sooner than you may want......get a plan together to find the happier healthier you...

I must have popped into the wrong forum accidentally. :) I'm not a Dr Laura fan but a lady friend of mine was having a similar situation and picked up "The Care and Feeding of a Husband" (I think that's the title - at least close) that she wrote. Evidently it made a major change in her life.

a size 15 confident woman can be more attractive than a size 3 woman that is hung up on her insecurities.

Your hottness factor is directly proportionate to your personality.

I :love: gangstershoes... I know, I am added to the harem.:)

as far as the post topic - you have to like yourself for people to like you. It really is that simple. if you are happy and confident, it will attract happy and confident people.

Umm, unless they are happily married and have beautiful babies already, then you can just make comments online because you know it will never go anywhere, right gangstershoes...?:cool:

I am big, not as big as I was, but not as little as i was either and I still get guys telling me i'm pretty, beautiful, etc....so they are a little mentally challenged but who needs to know that right? LOL..just kidding.

I do believe though that it is a big reflection on how you see yourself..for a while there I nicknamed myself "little fat bastard" lol! But I got over it and accepted myself as I was, loved myself and now I am much better and happier, no matter what place I am in.. keep your chin up and don't forget to compliment that reflection in the mirror once in a while.

I bet he hacked your account and saw your post :) My wife and I started doing cardio together. She'll push me on certain parts and I'll push her. After showing her some posts here about lean muscle burning fat, I've even got her lifting weights with me now!

men are different , just accept it. If he doesn't show his support,doesn't mean he's not approving what'ya doing, maybe he's just lazy , want a pretty sexy lady without bothering himself about the details, but he loves you ,indeed
