No LOL it's not just you. :-) At least not on this site. You are among like minded individuals here.

I always wonder how many others feel that way but haven't found a site like this to explore it. How did you find this?

Glad it went well! Sounds like you just discovered a new activity to incorporate into your relationship fun. :-)

That's impressive! That's a pound every two to three days for a year. That would be really fun to watch.

What about letting her know that her size is yet one more thing you love and enjoy about her, rather than something you overlook or love her in spite of??? Unless that would be too weird for her at this stage? Just curious :-)

Depends, but generally, you enjoy it! :-)

You know, there might be a different approach needed here. You're applying your logical solution to her emotional "problem".

We guys tend to go into fix-it mode. It's our nature but not always what is actually needed. I suspect it's more than her size or weight alone. She may lose weight and still not like her appearance. She may be in conflict... Perhaps she herself is okay with her size but feels obligated to hate it because society says so.

If you really truly desire her to be happy, and I believe you do, she may need you to understand her. Understand her unhappiness from her emotional perspective, not your logical one. You need to help her see past the surface issues to the deeper ones. If she's that unhappy, why has she not dieted herself? It's not like she's never heard of them.

Open honest safe communication is what I think you two need, where she can talk without being judged or subjected to solutions shes not ready to hear. Of course, sometimes, we do just need a stern kick in the pants to get us going, too. I hope that makes sense and I hope it all works out good for both of you.

So basically you introduced her to a brand new idea/concept and then gave her an ultimatum. I wouldn't do it that way, but I hope it works out for you and her, in the end. :-)

That's nice to hear :-)

I wonder how many households create that same atmosphere. Probably a lot, unfortunately. :-(

Also very true! :-)
