I Love My Husband

Marriage is about going out on a limb for one another, just to please them. Most of you who know me know I used to weigh in the 350s and have lost more than 100lbs.

Still, I am not skinny nor perfect. One of the scariest things for me to do is wear a dress.

So, I bought this one and I'm going to wear it to the hospital to see my hubby. I hope it makes him smile.

Here are some pics of me... no making fun of me, and yes I know I have cankles! lol I'm just doing my best with what I have.

I think you look lovely I’m sure he loves you no matter what you wear. Now my next suggestion on your next visit if he’s feeling up for it you wear a nurses outfit not the old time ones you know the sexy ones see if you can help him feel better a little faster. Lol. I know I’m bad.

I also offer congratulations on losing weight. And I certainly hope nobody is making fun of you! I have not seen any posts that do.
I have been battling a weight problem for several years, and doctors have emphasized that I need to lose weight. Recently I lost about 10 pounds, obviously not enough, but at least a start. I just have to keep working on it, and practice healthier eating habits overall.

@realrare I like to think of it as "chipping away" to the "awesome physique" I had in my younger days. (mid 20's, best at 24) Actually calling myself awesome may be something of an exaggeration. I wasn't bad, though. Even when I turned 40 years old I got back into the same size pants I had worn in high school, junior in high school at that. I'll be 63 years old next month, so getting back to that is not very likely. Perhaps see just how close I can get?

@realrare I have lost a couple of more pounds, 12 in all. So I'm making a little progress!

realrare · 51-55, F

@OldSchool Yippee!!!! Keep chipping away Sir! You can do it!!!! :D

I think you look good and I am sure hubby appreciates you just the way you are.

realrare · 51-55, F

@lasergraph He does, he loved me when I was heavy and he loves me now! I'm very blessed.

@realrare You certainly are. Your efforts have paid off. You look beautiful and love the dress, it’s perfect. Let me know what he said. I’m proud of you. 🤗 That’s so hard to do.

realrare · 51-55, F

@LyricalOne lol I get told this a lot! I appreciate everyone's concerns. It really is heart warming.

OldSchool · 61-69, M

Thanks, interesting analogy about "chipping away." I'll have to remember that.
In my younger days, I kept myself in much better shape, lifting weights, push ups, sit ups, and the like. It's not probably not realistic to expect to get back to what I was then, but I do believe I can at least take better care of my health.
And no doubt you have worked hard to achieve what you have.

realrare · 51-55, F

@OldSchool Thank you! :) And as Rob Schneider says in almost all Adam Sandler's movies, ''You can Do it!!!" lol

HOW YOU LOST THAT MUCH??? 😲
...any tips?

realrare · 51-55, F

@xMysteriousx It took a long time... first cutting meals in half, then just doing strict lean cuisine meals, lots of water and exercise. Now I'm just watching my intake and still exercising when I can.
