Happily Married!

Sep 10, 2013

  Well, my sweetheart and I tied the knot!  We had a quiet ceremony at the courthouse, but then a party at our house to celebrate.  We had a lot of fun.  I am a very lucky woman.

I have to actually give praises to WLS for allowing me to find my soul mate.  Sure, becoming slimmer opened up more choices for me when it came to men.  Let's face it, some men just aren't attracted to obese women.  There is nothing wrong with that.....seriously.  I am not physically attracted to men that have very hair backs...doesn't make me a bad person.  I think we are all programmed with certain tendencies to be attracted to various features for love interests. 

My husband IS actually attracted to voluptuous women.  He likes a woman with some meat on her bones and some junk in the trunk.  ha ha    He has seen pictures of me before I had WLS, and he says he would have been attracted to me back then.

So, why do I want to give credit to WLS for finding him?  Even though HE might have been attracted to me at 260 lbs., I would have never had the confidence to have met him when I was morbidly obese.  I have learned and grown so much during this process. 

Having been overweight, just about all of my life, I really never had much self-confidence.  Losing weight, changed my world so much.  There were a lot times that I didn't handle opportunities properly, but I learned and grew from all of my experiences. 

I am still struggling with the last 25 pounds or so.  I will ALWAYS struggle with my eating.  Even though, I am not at goal, 5 years after my initial surgery, I have reached a very happy point in my life. 

Loving myself, appreciating myself and most of all, giving myself respect; allowed me to find a man that loves, appreciates and respects me also.  It truly is a wonderful and mind-blowing thing!
