Kind of scared to put this out there....

Nov 12, 2015

... but I wonder how this weightloss will impact my marriage. I've been reading some of the forums and I've read how some marriages collaspe while others grow stronger. My husband has always liked cubbier women. so I'm left to wonder, could he continue to love me as a thinner person? He's said in the past he'd be afraid of breaking me if i was too thin. To add to the complexity of the thought and just as a side note, he's persuing the surgery as well so there are a lot of components in play on this question. HIs surgery is scheduled Jan 25th.  I love him as he currently is, but I'd love to see a healthier version of him and not because I'd find him more attractive. It's more along the lines of he comes from a family with a history of heart disease and it honestly scares me to think of him having a heart attack and dying at a young age. He currently weighs over 500lbs and over 6 feet tall. He can't get an MRI or CAT scan done because of his weight issues. They all say they can only go up to 450lbs so its a determinate to his health as he can't seek proper medical treatment. 

To try and get back on topic.... When we met, we were both slightly overweight. The years haven't been kind as we've had our indulgences of foods and overeating and viola: here we are. I was super proud of him making the decision to do the procedure as well and us doing it together at the same time will help us both to succeed as we can both support one another. (I hope.) Alas, I wonder what impact this surgery will have on us both and our relationship as we both go through this process. Will both of us going through this at the same time actually hurt our relationship more or can it help pull us together? I know that only time will tell.... Just random thoughts in my head.
