Congrats to @Blondeshavemorefun @4pink1blue , and @WorriedRelative for ongoing losses!

One pound off for me this week, as I continue my gradual creep downwards. I bought a couple of tops yesterday, which I showed to my daughter as they were uncharacteristic for me fat me in recent years (i.e. they weren't voluminous, stretchy and down to my knees! Now I save that for the skin on my stomach 😖😀). She liked having a clothes talk that wasn't just about what she was wearing, so that was nice. Mind you, I'd still rather spend money on hedging! I have my eye on a small tree for when I get under 9 stone as an incentive.

@Azuresky68 hope the tests come round quickly and have a good result. I had lots of IBS type symptoms post the pandemic, when I'd put on so much weight and been very sedentary. I got referred for bowel cancer tests and found it so scary. But it really is a case of them wanting to rule it out - and once you get older they leap to this as a possibility, but it doesn't necessarily mean they think there's a strong chance it is. Hopefully it's all just weird digestive stuff.

And commiserations to @poppym12 - hope the treatment goes ok. I'm just waiting for this to happen to me, being from a similar era. My (much darker skinned) mother used to tell (pale skinned) me not to worry when my skin peeled off, as it meant I could get a better tan underneath.

Wishing you all the best @poppym12.

If not the internet 😬

well done @4pink1blue and @weaselyeyes

I might even make the mn hall of fame 😂😂

Feeling pretty good for 68 but ....

Oh dear. This has always been on my mind and it's tortured me...feel able to share here but it's a tricky one. I know you will be kind and thoughtful...

@Azuresky68you look fabulous!!

So the regulars on here will know I am 68 and have been with my fella for 5 years. We are both retired and have our own houses. So far so good! Both very independant and fancy eachother although he isn’t one for saying much...if I say 'do you fancy me' he will say 'of course I do! BUT I am not a mind reader! He has never said he loves me and I am not going to say it first. It would make the world of difference if he said it! Tonight I wanted to ask him if he loved me but instead I said 'There is a question I need to ask you but not right now. He said well if you ask me a question then you might not like the answer!! The main problem is that he married at 25 to someone who was 19. They had 2 children together and he was madly in love with her... worked all hours to provide for the family. Then she reinvented herself..looks wise and career wise, while he continued to support her until she left him for someone else around in 2009. In 2018 she died. I met him in 2020 and fell madly n love ❤️ but he used to talk about her all the time. We split for a few weeks over Christmas 2020 because I told him I was fed up of being in her shadow but we got back together in January 2021 (down to me). Everything has been fine since then...he rarely mentions her. I continue to be tortured by the fact he was with her all those years and get incredibly jealous of the fact he loved her so much but hasn't told me he loves me 😪😱 So what to do lovely ladies? 1. Continue as I am with a loving partner who doesn't say he loves me. 2 Ask him if he loves me 3 Look for someone else. Believe you me, it's tortured me for years. My friends know and think we make a great couple. I can't imagine finding anyone else but feel I need to know if he can say he loves me! But if I ask and he says no then where do I go from there! We have a lovelyvlife together apart from this thing that tortures me..he has no idea!

Aww thanks! If you read my later post you will see that despite my weight loss, life is a bit tricky right now! Funny though..I gained 2 stone and the boyfriend was totally supportive, always saying he never noticed my weight gain. Sadly he has put on a bit on his tummy and I really don't like that!

@Azuresky68that does sound really tough. It must be really hard to feel you live in another women’s shadow. You say he’s stopped talking about her since you told him so maybe he didn’t realise it was upsetting you before. I suppose at least he listened and stopped.

If you love him. I would tell him. There’s no shame in saying how you feel. And hopefully it will allow him to express how he feels. Obviously what he said about ‘you might not like the answer’ he doesn’t know what you were going to ask so it may have just been a ‘jokey’ answer as he didn’t know it’s something you feel seriously about?

I think asking him if he loves you when you also haven’t said ‘I love you’ may make him also feel anxious in the same way you do. But if you tell him then he knows and then I think it’s fair to ask if he doesn’t express it back especially as you’ve been together some time!

Thank you for the well wishes. I'm sure I'll be fine eventually. Apologies, not enough energy to tag everyone.

@Azuresky68you look fabulous and I can't believe you're even 60 never mind 68! I hope your health worries are resolved soon.

As for your fella, that's a tough one. I think I'd have to blurt it out but that's just me, I'd want to know how he felt. But then again, if you're happy together what difference would those three words make?

It’s a FFF

Looking fucking fab for 68 @Azuresky68

Oh bless you. I can’t believe that in over 5yrs he has NEVER said he loves you 🙀🙀😢😢

it must be hard living in a shadow. That’s how my ex felt as if argued he would throw back how perfect dh1 was and that I loved him more then dh 2

I was with dh 1 for 19yrs when he killed his self. My world collapsed and my heart shattered into a million pieces

when I met dh2 I wasnt even looking but say he gave me me smile back

sadly he also took it away again last few years after 13yrs together

but I have never compared them.

I always said it’s like having 2 kids

you love your first born with a passion but when you have no 2 you don’t love no 1 any less or no 2 any more. You just love them

tho

if you have never said to him either I love you ……

Thank you ladies so much for your thoughtful and kind replies. I still don't know what to do! Knowing how much he devoted himself to HER is why I get so jealous! BUT he also told me recently that he never wanted to get married or have kids, however she fell pregnant and the rest is history. I know he was a good father and husband though and he was devastated when she left him. Both sons stopped speaking to her for years after she left him. I just wish I could find a way to stop feeling jealous.

@Blondeshavemorefun. So sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing. Life can be bloody tough but we are winners (and losers in a good way ie fat!) xxx
Yes it's true....after 5 years he hasn't said those 3 little words! It makes me needy and insecure

@Azuresky68jealousy is a horrible feeling. It really does eat you up and make you feel ill. So it must be really hard.

I think having a conversation is the only way forward and I honestly really think laying your feelings on the line is probably the best way. He may well be thinking exactly the same as you. Wondering why you haven’t said I love you. Feeling like he doesn’t want to put himself out there in case you don’t feel the same.

you describe the relationship as ‘loving’ so I’m sure he does love you just maybe struggles to verbalise his feelings.

when marriages end especially with children it’s difficult isn’t it. You’re always bonded in a way as they’re the mother/father of your children. It’s hard to just completely cut off how you feel about someone but as @Blondeshavemorefundescribes it doesn’t mean he loves you any less.

hugs to you as well @Blondeshavemorefun

@Azuresky68 Aw, that sounds tough, but do try to ask him. It sounds like it’s going to carry on eating away at you unless you do. I do think you can love people in very different ways. You’ve met at a very different stage of life, so that may mean he doesn’t love you any the less than his first wife but maybe it just feels like less intense or more relaxed - which to me would be great! I hope you get the reassurance you’re looking for x

@Azuresky68 I think the only way this is going to resolve itself is if you tell him you love him. The reply/reaction will then tell you what you need to know regarding your future. Yes, you may end up getting hurt but it will help you decide if you can stay in the relationship loving him and it not being reciprocated even though you do have a good life together.

And I’m sorry if this is too personal - it must be very difficult during intimacy to hold back from voicing/blurting out the I love you part of it when you love someone and maybe that’s something to think about from all angles.

I also want to say that maybe counselling is what your fella needs to help him unravel things from his marriage and the death of his ex wife but it’s just as likely there’s nothing to unravel which brings you back to having to decide if loving him is enough for you in the relationship.

Sorry, I also wanted to say that you only have your fellas version of life with his ex wife and her version of their history could be very different to what you’ve been told. Maybe she’d tell you things that would take the shine off your fella a bit and I’m wondering if idolising him less during that stage of his life would help you with your feelings regarding her and what they do to your relationship today.

Im Hoping that makes sense.

Morning ❤️

@Azuresky68 you are utterly fabulous in this pic, you look glowing and full of happiness..

Is it the case he has a barrier up to avoid getting as hurt again? That doesn't help sorry. Is he physically loving with gestures and verbally affectionate? Just missing the actual I love you declaration?

I'm needy, when I met DH2 I was a nightmare, I had a hard last 15 years with the exh, we were together 23 years and i was always looking for affirmation DH2 wanted me and was in love with me. I'm not saying this is you BTW but what resolved it to an extent was to be honest and i just told him why I felt like I did, I just needed him to say the words and know that he was being truthful and not saying things like "course I do" etc
You're not being needy by wanting to know you are loved and he is in love with you. I would ask him, have a chat, get it out in the open. Xxx

Hi ladies, hope you’re all well! Easter break here and DC has me run ragged. Actually just about to get ready for swimming! 1lb off this week - happy with that as had anniversary spa break and ate a three course dinner and a two course breakie in the morning. Whilst I definitely wouldn’t eat that much regularly, it was nice to ‘let go’ a bit. It is hard (and boring) eating so rigidly for so long. Hoping to get back to consistent 2lbs a week when I’m back in work.

Am on my last pen now so have been spreading doses out a little bit so it’s not a huge shock to the system when I stop. I do feel okay even when I’m a day or two overdue a jab.

Total now is -6st 4lbs/-88lbs/-39kg 🤩
