Hi everyone,
So basically when I met my FI I was slightly thinner. I am 5-1 and weigh now 150 lbs. I'm not too proud of my 10 lb weight gain, but it's taking a bigger tole on my self esteem than i thought it would.
I am starting to get really concious of my body- especially my stomach area- in front of my fiance. I know he doesn't care, and loves me for who I am, but I won't even feel comfortable in front of him naked, etc,. Were getting married in 6 months and I'm nervous for the honeymoon etc. A lot of this stems down from being teased in jr high/high school and I don't know how to cope with this. Anyone have any advice?
Thank you so much in advance
Re: body image issue-please help
I was feeling really self conscious about myself but a friend talked me into doing a pampering and boudoir session and I was thrilled with the result. Not only is this a fun way to boost your own confidence, but it'll make a great (and completely unexpected) gift for FI!
On a more serious note, exercise will help with this. It doesn't have to be intense and it doesn't have to make you drop some insane amount of weight, but just getting out there and moving does wonderful things. You'll get stronger and healthier and you'll feel it. Just starving yourself to lose weight doesn't make you really appreciate your body like exercise does (aside from being all kinds of bad for you).
Just take it one day at a time. If you mess up, get right back on the wagon and keep going.
Also, I try to remember that I am my own worst critic. Don't be too hard on yourself. I know it's hard, but keep working toward your goals, and you'll get there!

And confidence is soo sexy--it doesn't matter what your weight is, if you carry it well (with your attitude, posture, etc.)--your FI is going to find that incredibly attractive.
