In reply to I'm physically shutting out my husband, posted by saw on November 5, 2004, at 0:38:18
Let me tell you something my husband and someone else told me. "I love you for who you are, not what you look like" It is very hard to believe, trust me I know. When you are of the belief that your physical appearance is what that counts in physical love, then it is very hard to believe that anyone can find you physically attractive. I understand this. BUT..... I do feel that the average person is not a model, a porn star, or a pin up girl. We are women, human and we are loved by men who do not appear to care that we have fat rolls, stretch marks, sagging flesh or any of those other things that make us cringe when they touch us. It's hard, I know to let go of the image we have of ourselves. But we have to try. We have to let go of that societal idea that women have to be perfect. Beautiful is in the eye of the beholder. Sexy is how you feel, not how you look.
Okay, I'm off my soap box. Did I mention I ate chocolate last night to substitute for the booze I was out of?

You are beautiful, and you will feel this again.
