On My Marriage
So many issues come with losing weight for me, I am petrified of the impact it could have on my relationship with my husband.
I have been married a year as of November to an amazing man, he supports me in every single way & has truly loved me no matter what. Since we met I have gained 80 pounds (& had two children) & not even that has phased him, yet I am afraid to lose weight. I am afraid that even at smaller sizes I will never be comfortable naked in front of him, that I will never stop wondering what he is thinking when he looks at me. I want to believe him when he tells me I'm beautiful not feel like he says it out of obligation.
I know it's not healthy, not healthy to feel so uneasy around the person you've committed to spend your life with, & I know it hurts him.
Part of this journey for me will be many hours in therapy, there is no point in having surgery & losing large amounts of weight if I can't get to the bottom of why I am like this in the first place. I have to admit I am a little frightened of that also, who knows what is hiding there, in the depths of my mind.
I wonder what the key is, to making sure my relationships don't fall apart. Maybe including him? If he is part of it maybe he can change and adjust with me.
