My baz met me a size 22/24 and his ex was a supermodel look alike. He lived me for me, not my fat. I had comfort eaten for too long. I was paranoid he wouldn't like me after the date we first met. I thought I was going crazy thinking I well fancied him. But he did, I went from fatso to a trim 14/16 and then back to the weight iwas when I first met him. He's supported me whatever my size. S my guess is he saw through the size n loved you for who you are xx previous bander, now awaiting by pass or sleeve this year.

I think you are right 2nd timer, thank you. We are very lucky to have such supportive men as we go through this time in our lives I think.

That's not too bad Anne as Holland is so near so you can see them as often or as little as you like I miss my family tonnes as they are all in Australia. I've put off trips back though as I don't want them to see me like this and when I FaceTime them I always cut out my double chin haha! x

Amsterdam is just a 45 min flight away, but I don't really go much tbh, my parents come over quite often,and I'm not too close to my sisters tbh. But it's good to know I could be there swiftly if there's an emergency. My nana passed away last may,and I got there just in time to say my goodbyes to her, (had to cancel my to do so though) haven't been back since. My inlaws live in Algeria,and we are going in April, yay! Haven't been for 4,5 years :-(

It's hard when your family are all the way of the other side of the world though! So how did you end up over here?

I was lucky enough to have mine on th NHS HOWEVER I had no comorbidetes at the start of the journey then ot turned out I had sleep apnoea which I got a CPAP machine to treat it and after losing 5 stone the machine went back. I had no other issues than this but that was only sorted out 7months before my op and then few months after when I was ok without it. I started at the grand weight of 24ST 11 LB I got to my lowest weight last January of 14st 5, however in the middle of the year it went back to 14 st 10 -13 then the last 4 weeks it went to 15st I dint want to go back there then last week put 3lb on and 2 lb on gain this week. I was so cross with myself have really gone back to basics and listening to my body. I need to be back under that 15 st. I am really working at it had 2 really good days lets hope I can make it through the week and lose most of what I put on would be thrilled with 5 lb but can see that coming off in the one chunk. I thought I had lost this week was mortified when it said nutha 2 on. I WILL DO IT. I AM NOT HUNGRY, MY BODY DOESN;T NEED IT I have to keep telling myself haha xx folks will think I am a total nut case.

Ah Chrisa, that elusive weight will shift,but never when you want it to!! Lol try upping your fluids and switching your diet around a bit...I've started swimming now so hope my weightloss is going to start moving again xxx

I was so ashamed last time(luckily my husband and kids weren't with me) I pretended I was pregnant, I know so awful, but I could've died of shame :-(

Ah that made me sad, don't feel ashamed Hun....no matter how big/small you must love yourself....weight is just an issue we need to address xxx

What a lovely story 2nd Timer and Ceecie you are beautiful xx

I met my partner about 6 months after separating from my husband. He saw my profile picture on facebook as we had a friend in common so I guess you could also say we met online. We got chatting, hooked up, bought a house together and with our 4 children (he 2 girls, me 2 boys) plus four cats and a puppy we all live very happily. He has shown me nothing but love, loyalty and adoration. We are like glue, hold hands in bed, watching tv, I have no doubts of the love. But I met him when I was a size 10/12 and I'm now literally twice the woman. I feel like he has ended up with a dud deal but I also know this is my problem not his and my insecurities. I wish he met me from fat to thin rather than thin to fat and hopefully thin again if that makes sense? And I do wonder in my heart if he'd have ever pursued me that way around but guess I shall never know! X

Hi Georgie

Let me tell you......no man on earth would stay with a woman he didn't love. The weight isn't exactly important. My partner was petrified for my health and started caring for me last summer.....no he didn't particularly fancy me when he looked at me objectively!!!! I was in pain, breathless, had a funny walk.....what's to fancy?!!!
BUT he wanted to be near me. He loved me and needed me. That surpasses all physical attributes.
Your husband loves you, because he stayed. Now you are losing he has the best of both worlds....the woman he loves.....who ALSO happens to be a sexy MUMMA!!!
I don't think men are as fickle as we like to think.

Enjoy your relationship and stop worrying Hun xxx

Well at just over 19 stone. I def didn't love myself. Also, that particular flight I was very upset anyway, as I was on my way to try and get home in time to try and see my dying grandmother, was the most awful few days of my life I can tell u that

Oh Anne that's so sad, that must have been so emotionally worrying and to feel that self conscious is just dreadful. Xxx

So how did you end up over here?

I ended up in this part of the world as I met my now ex husband when he was back packing around Australia. His 12 month trip turned into five years, we got married in Sydney and had our first born son. After the five years we decided to move to Uk as he missed his family. We had a second baby boy and everything was great. But we did drifted apart and then separated and got divorced after 10 years marriage in 2009. You marry thinking it will be forever and when it's not it shocks you. But I could never move back home with our children. I would never separate them from there dad and grandparents like that so here is where my life is now. Ex husband is still my best mate and my partner and he get on so well so I'm really happy being here. Just miss my disfunctional family on occasion. Usually a conversation with my sister has me thankful of the 5000 miles between us though and snaps me back to reality x

It's sad your marriage ended, but great to hear you still get on with your ex, especially important for your children!
