Okay I know this is on the personal side and I ask your indulgence. I can't be the only one who has had this rather intimate NSV, so I don't feel ashamed in sharing it. I have been married now for 30 years and when I first met my husband I was a size 18. Suffice it to say we had some pretty fantastic times in the beginning and were really in sync with one another. Over the years and as a result of the weight gain, things were still good but alot of effort had to be made for things to click just right. I am trying to say this without being overly graphic, hoping you are all still with me. I am now 28 pounds shy of 100 pounds weight loss and I have to tell you that all of the effort has been removed and my husband said quote "wow honey, lately I am reminded of that young girl I met 30 years ago when we are in those intimate moments" Your body is amazing and it's like a total rebirth of your erogenous zone" At first I didn't know whether to be insulted or thrilled, but he's right. I am having all kinds of dreams and sexual desire lately that I thought were gone forever. I don't know about the rest of you but at 51 this is good news. LOL.

As a married woman one of the things that I have always mentored to younger couples is that sex is the icing on the cake and not the cake. In short don't build your whole relationship based on sex because as you grow older and your body changes you will need more than intimacy to hold your marriage together. I still stand by that because trust me between mine and my husbands weight, I'm thrilled we had a sound foundation to draw from when things slowed down in the bedroom. Today I find myself giving thanks to God for more than a few reasons and one of them is the restoration of, well you know............ lol.

Just out of curiosity has anyone else gone through this re-awakening process. I would really feel better knowing that I am not the only newborn freak out here roflmaooooooo and if I am oh well, I'll just have to be.
