or expect him to just accept you the way you are?

what if you are happy the way you are but can really see that he wants you to be slim. is it antifeminist to try and lose weight to please a man, or is it ok when it is your man?

well i met my dp when i was a size 18 i then with in the yr went down to a 12-14 which i was much happier at brought nice clothes etc.

after a bit fell preg with dd an went back to 18-20 after 18 months was back to 14.

he always says he loves me whatever my size and met me bigger so would b mean to say i should be slimmer etc- but he says he loves my confidence wen i feel better and wear nicer clothes, he can also c iam happier

so i no he will be enccouraging me this time (after dc arrives) to get back in shape because he no s it will make me happy.

may sound awful but he has a great body very toned etc, and if he 'let go of himself' i would say so!!!

For the sake of my sex life, yes I would (and have).

I am a 5'6 and size 12 and my DH loves me the way I am, however I am very unhappy with my size and want to be skinnier...I want to be a size 8-10 but I am struggling as my shape is wider and I don't really have much fat anywhere. However it is DH telling me not to lose anymore weight as he loves my curves and my tiny waist. I think for him, he would dislike it if I lost more weight, and I have to bear that in mind because I do want him to find me attractive, and I think that you have a responsibility to look after yourself. It is a bit of a cop-out to say 'He should fancy me however I look' Of course the love should be unconditional, but perhaps if you are very overweight/underweight there is a chance they won't fancy you. Hmm, interesting thread.
