I am married to someone who is wonderful in his own ways. However we are very diferent in size..he being very much smaller. SO he yearns for me to return to when we were dating. Or at least just 10 kiloes less heavy. I understand him completely but find it hard to be motivated to get back in size. Why? because I am a woman and I tend to respond to a man's attention.

With his criticising me it makes me feel less motivated. He is special in his own ways and cannot imagine thinking of another woman. SO I am blessed in this way. I told him I still find other men attractive and he got a shock... because he says he has no such thoughts...

Some years ago,I started getting a lot of admirers via my work environment and other contacts, men who adores my curves and and they think I am wonderful. That made me feel better about myself. I just wished the praises were coming from my own man... because he is the one I will be with forever...

I used to embrace the attention and fun company of these men because my heart was so empty and I felt so lonely... knowing that I am still gorgeous and attractive and able to attract men of all ages 21- 70 made me feel great about myself! I even had a few of the men falling in love with me.

Then a few months ago... I decided to stop looking for appreciation outside and started putting time into making my own man feel better...

I am still unmotivated to loose weight but I am glad I am not playing with fire... So I ask you.... AM I lucky in love or not?

I am definitely lucky! I have had several short relationships and 3 long ones. In the past, I was the one who thrived on independence, and whenever things got too serious, I found a reason to get out. Well as I matured, I realized that a lifetime love is indeed something I wanted. I was in a long relationship of 6 years with a guy who enjoyed me and our time together, but the commitment of marriage was not in the cards for him. It was a shocker to be on the other end of that situation! I moved to L.A. on a whim to help out a friend, only to find the job market at an all time low. I found myself hitting rock bottom financially, but I still managed to be happy and never gave up hope that things would improve. Boy did they!! A few months, I met the most fabulous guy!! I had started meeting several people through the internet as I was new to the area and new no one. (I'm hate to admit it, but sometimes.. a date meant a good meal when I didn't have two dimes to rub together).
I met him and cancelled my next two dates that were arranged. I knew that night that he was special. He became a wonderful friend with a wonderful spirit, cheering me on as I job hunted and searched for a better apartment. He was an emotional brass ring, but didnt try to take care of me in a way that would rob me of my need to support myself. --We have been together for almost 5 years and he just proposed over Christmas. We plan to marry in the spring of 2007. He is my best friend and someone who I truly admire. He is genuine. It just proves that there are still a few of them out there ladies...

It's really great to read all of the stories of women who have found love. I applaud you. But my story couldn't possibly be any different.

I never had a boyfriend until I was 21. He cheated on me. I cheated back for revenge. We split up. Then no one else until I was 25. He met someone that he liked better while we were together. They recently got married. In between these two dodos, there was no one. I live in the land of bikinis and halter tops. If you can't pull one of those off with a certain flair, you are invisible. I don't really know if I'm 'lucky' in love or not because I never get the chance to see. In the past three years since dodo #2 and I broke up, I have not had ONE offer for a date. Not one.

I involve myself in as many activities as I can and am relentlessly pursuing my dream of being an actress. Not everyone gets the happily-ever-after story and we just have to deal with that. Some of us have a different path to walk that doesn't include the husband, white picket fence and 2.6 kids.

I have the mosy wonderful husband in the world. Not to mention GORGEUS. He says that he loves me because I am beautiful, sexy, sassy, smart, caring and self assured. He loves all 200lbs

Having been married to a man who loved to point out my flaws, I am now involved with a man who loves every inch of me. He tells me he is the luckiest man in the world to have me.

I've come a long way, and done a lot of healing to get where I am today, and I can honestly say that I am Lucky in love.
