One of my favorite benefits of losing weight has been sexual, I have to admit. I feel better about myself, so DH and I have more sex. When I have more sex, I have satisfied my brain's pleasure centers, so I am not looking to food for satiety beyond hunger. (plus, you burn a few calories if you are doing it right So, I lose more weight, have more sex, lose more weight...I do, of course, realize that there will have to be a point where the amount of sex plateaus, but right now....yippee for me!!
The excess wt. never stopped us from having sex, but I do find that I want sex more since losing wt. I just feel more comfortable sexually now. It doesn't seem like quite the chore now. LOL, I also see it as it helps burn a few calories too.
you know this is kinda funny...I was watching Oprah the other day and Dr. Oz was on there and they were talking about how many calories you burn during sex...he said you only burn about 25 calories during sex and then Oprah said "well, unless you're like hanging from the ceiling fan or something" lol...I just found that funny...BUT...he did in fact say what you said above that when you satisfy your pleasure cravings you don't want the sugar...lol

If that's all he's burning I feel bad for Dr. Oz wife. I feel like maybe that's true if all you're counting is the act itself and nothing else.
Anyone else enjoying the weight loss-sex cycle?
