Does your weight embarass your mate?

I do. The old paranoia that people are embarrassed of you and would rather not be seen with you. I have become a lot more relaxed about this though with my friends lately but I am mildly uncomfortable that I have agreed to be a bridesmaid 'cause although I'm really looking forward to it I don't want to ruin the photos! But then I tell myself that if that was a problem I wouldn't have been asked. I suppose that I am just very lucky that I have friends who speak their minds so I don't need to worry if there's a problem - if there was they'd tell me - it just took me a while to realise. My weight is stilla problem for me though but it helps that it's mine and not theirs.

me and my girl are both a lil bigger than the average girl, but i think we are very comfortable with ourselves. i am usually one of the bigger girls at a party and thats okay with me, if people want to hate, LET UM. i know i keep my woman satisfied and i know that she loves me for waht is inside.. its not how big you are its how u work it... trite but true

My husband is tryng to get me to lose weight, but I am large boned and stock built, what my maternal grandmother called peasant built and eve nthen I felt insulted as I knew that my great grandmother was of the middle class. We did not get a full length mirror to check myself until I was in my fifties and by that time, the weight was already on and now it is hard to get off, yet I do not get that tired and I can move pretty fast. And I think it is because my husband is medium built. Now he is starting to put on weight and it does not look good on him.

yes, this is a sore spot..so i am trying to lose..but my wife gained some weight but not like i did..there is no end to the cruel things say to anyone who is overweight..the worst can be your friends and family..good luck

I am a male, and my weight is not a problem for both of us. I want to share my view with you, maybe this can help you. Some guys do care the weight of their mate, but some do not. If you think your husband really care your weight, try to do something for your husband. It does not only mean you go to the gym, and lose your weight, you can do something else. For example, you can show your charming things which make you husband's friends think your husband is lucky to be your mate. do remember no one can judge people by their weight, but their inside.

At one time i did. This was before i lost a couple of pounds, not by diet but by life. I am a top heavy person which means most of the fat is on your back, arms, face and waist area. I had rolls and i believe i was developing a double chin, then life happened. On top of that, i recently changed jobs and I am now 15 minutes away from where i work so i walk to work everyday and the main shopping areas are 2 minutes away from the job so basically I am doing more walking so that has kept my weight at the same level and I am not stressed at the present moment thank God. You have a wonderful man evidently because he loves you just the way you are and that is beautiful.

My wife is a little overweight and sometimes it concerns me. She used to wear nice dresses and be the envy of our group. After children and being married for some time things have changed. I know she wants to lose the weight but I am not embarressed with her being that way. My idea is: the Lord gave her to me and she is blessing to me and our family. When she gets ready to shed the pounds she will. When she gets so mad that she wants to do something about it, she will. There is nothing I can do or say will change that. When the weight bothers you to the point that you can think of nothing else but the pain it causes you...you will have such a shift in habit and focus...you will make the pounds melt away!
