Now, weight a minute...I am 5'9" (and 3/4 depending on who's measuring) and I would be THRILLED to weigh 170, I just hit 178 after hovering at 185-90 for years....I have been a size twelve since I was twelve, it is my identity, when I hit size 18 I stopped looking at myself in the mirror. This is on the top end for our height, but not too bad. At 155 I know I would look haggard, 125 I visited when about 25 and looked skelental..If I could hit 170 or a little less, I would be floating...? MMMMMmmmmmmm, lets, compare measurements (lol)
Willow and Krazy have very delicately presented a topic for your consideration...there is a conflict between commitment or lack there of and a willingness to work for said commitment through counselling or other...things.... is his stress separate from your weight?

Susan C> My SO and I talked today. He's not willing to see a counselor. He says that the only reasons we're not having sex are his stress and my weight. He's too stressed out, and I need to lose weight.
