Marina and Lisa
X --- NOT funny! I have been having phantom pregnancy symptoms and just told Joe two days ago that I would not be shocked if I was pregnant. Joe said "you can't be pregnant!" Eh, nothing's 100%. (I'm on CD39. Last month, I had a 42 day cycle so I'm guessing it's just that my period is "late" again --- and with the exercising/dieting, it can throw it off too).
Lisa --- Joe has issues with it. His own insecurities. It's going to be a tough road ahead of us. It will be interesting, to say the least. And honestly, I would not be shocked regardless of outcome -- stay together or divorce. Neither would surprise me. I think we have a pretty solid marriage (overall) however he's never had a skinny wife!

Re: Marina and Lisa
My friend has been trying for her 2nd for 3 years now, she JUST lost about 30 lbs and guess what...pregnant!
I know you aren't trying and I think you have your tubes tied but, like you said, nothing is 100% percent.
Once Joe gets used to the idea of you being skinnier, happoier, more confident he'll either follow suit, wallow in his sorrows or just live with it. As long as you are happy and your kids see it.
I agree w/ M- once he see you skinny and happy he may want to jion you

I have been working hard at losing, myself, and MH has jumped on the bandwagon too. (but the problem here is he's in GREAT shape and only has about 5-10 to lose) NOT like me and I have another 30 to go- but we're supporting each other along the way.
SOmetimes I think MH wants to pee on me to let the world know I'm his- as gross as that sounds men are a tad like dogs

Lisa -- that is HILARIOUS!
And yes, Joe is the SAME WAY! Lack of confidence is NOT sexy, attractive, etc. He's always had "the upper hand" in that respect in our relationship but not as of late. And I think that scares him. I want to make MYSELF better --- but without demeaning/making him feel worse. It's a hard balance --- but we'll get there.
I ask him every.single.time I work out if he wants to with me. The whole point of the elliptical (according to him) was so that he could do the treadmill and I could do the elliptical --- or vice versa. He makes up excuses every time. Drives me nuts! But I also know I can't force him --- so I just keep asking!
