Interesting.
I met my husband at work, my boss, at a heavier weight, 180 or so maybe. I lost 20 pounds over the course of a few months and we proceeded to date.
I've always wondered whether the weight impeded a relationship earlier. He swears not, that he had a crush on me from day one. I suppose that could be true, as I didn't have a ton of confidence 20 pounds earlier.
Marriage, pregnancy, a touch of postpartum depression, avoiding scales and a sedentary stay at home mom life really packed on the pounds, but his feelings for me never changed, he never said a word about my rapid weight gain. When asked about it, in retrospect, he says he never saw the additional weight - just his darling.
Seriously, when he sees 'before' photos, he is shocked. He can't believe I looked like that although the man lived with me the entire time.
He's happy I'm happy now. I can't say the weight has dramatically changed our relationship - like made it brand spanking new all over or induces that 24 hour a day obsessional crushy feeling when you first get with someone. He's a little insecure at times now, likely because I'm more confident, outgoing and social - a 100% change from 11 months ago. That would be dizzying and cause a feeling of insecurity for almost anyone!
I never once thought that weight loss would dramatically change our marriage. My guy loves me, whatever I do. Over the course of time, 8 years of marriage, a kid and full time jobs we have a different relationship than we did at first. Naturally we aren't getting it on 5 times a day, 7 times a week anymore - no matter how fit I get I don't have energy for that anymore!
