My weight really impacted my sex life. When I was heavy, it became harder and harder to be intimate. Not only because was I insecure about my size, I didn't feel beautiful, and I didn't feel sexy, and my confidence was in the toilet, there was the mechanics of working around all that fat. It also became a lot harder to climax. I just wasn't in the mood.
I think that even though my husband has always said he thinks I'm beautiful, at some point I think he was turned off by my size. And even if he wasn't, my whole attitude was a turn off. I won't even go in to that, but I was a blobby mess. They say that how you feel can affect how you look, and I believe it. When I started losing the weight, even when I was still heavy, my confidence soared. I felt better about myself and I felt more comfortable in my own skin. I think I projected this and it made me more attractive altogether. KWIM?
My sex life with my husband has improved. Like 10 fold. We're talking a few times a year to a few times a week! And not just because
he wants to, but because
I do!
He's responded to my size, and physical appearance, but he also likes my attitude. Plus, my smaller size makes the mechanics of the act easier. And one thing I didn't expect.... I think the strength I have developed in my pelvic muscles with exercise has improved the "Big O". Seriously!
