Since I can actually post... Poll: Your body
How happy are you with your body?
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks?
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation?
Re: Since I can actually post... Poll: Your body
How happy are you with your body? - Not very. I'd say, on a scale of 1-10, I'm like a 2.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? - No. It's all me. He loves me however I am and always makes me feel beautiful and worthy.
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? - Currently? No. I lost like 30lbs over the summer but it's all back now. I'm waiting until after the holidays to start a new regimine. I know myself well enough to know that I don't have the willpower to stick to a diet during the holidays.
How happy are you with your body? I'm happy that I have lost almost 30lbs off of it, but I am no where near where I want to be... I'm in a better place now, though, than I was 6 months ago, I will say that
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? Quite the opposite -- He thinks I'm gorgeous in any way, shape, or form... I'm the one with the self-image issues
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? WeightWatchers weekly and Yoga when I can
updated 10.03.12
How happy are you with your body? I'm fine with the way my body looks, but I know that I am unhealthy because I never ever do any type of exercise and I really should. I just dont have the motivation.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? He agrees that we should be more active (he used to run marathons but hasnt in >1 year). But he doesnt make me feel bad about myself. If anyone was going to it would be my mother who says I look pudgy but its ok because at my age people will just think that I just had a baby.
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? Nope. I really need to put a plan in place and stick to it. I just start it for a few days and then lose interest.
Get back to me in about 6 months with this poll....
For being ready to pop, I guess I'm happy with the way I look.
H plays no role. He says I look good no matter what.
In a few weeks I'll exercise like a mo-fo again and whip my arse back into shape.
I had a good cry last night over my body, but I think I am coming to terms with it.
How happy are you with your body? Not at all - I was down 10lbs pre pregnancy and I am now only down 5 but my body is way different.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? he thinks I look great, but if I dont feel great it doesnt help
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? I work out on a regular basis, but I need to work on the eating. I am a terrible eater. I decided not to stress over Christmas but Jan 1 its on! My goal is 10lbs in 6 weeks. I will reset after that small goal.
How happy are you with your body? um, ok. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say maybe a 7. I could stand to lose a few pounds. I'd be thrilled to go down a pants size.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? definitely not. He actually helps me accept my body more as it is, he always loves the way I look.
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? yes and no. My workout time has gotten very limited here lately. But I still make a pretty conscious effort to eat healthy, especially since I'm not working out.
How happy are you with your body? Meh, ok. I made it back to my pre-pregnancy weight pretty quickly, but I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I will never again have the flat stomach I'd always worked so hard for. I could do 1000 crunches a day and its not gonna do anything about the scar tissue :sigh:
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? He thinks I look good, except he misses the boobs I got from being pregnant...so d I though...
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? See my first answer

Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
How happy are you with your body? Ehh I haven't been happy with my body for awhile now but I don't let it get to me b/c it's my own fault for letting it get the way it is.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? He tells me I look good, some times he does say 'we' need to get back in shape but I know it's not him disliking how I look, he just wants us to be healthier
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? I went to my first appointment with a nuitritionist on Wednesday, So I'm starting to follow her tips she gave me next week and I'll be making an effort to go back to Zumba 3 times a week, after the holidays
How happy are you with your body? No not really. I lost a lot of weight after my miscarriage and I though it would make me feel a little better, but to be honest I feel worse. Everyone says wow you lost a lot of weight, yeah thanks, I didn't lose it on purpose I lost it because I lost a baby, but some people don't understand.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? He's great, he tells me all the time I'm beautiful and look amazing, but as wonderful as it is to hear it, it doesn't make a difference if I feel different.
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? To be completely honest nothing. I'm hoping we can get pregnant soon, and I think that will make me feel better. As crazy as it sounds.
How happy are you with your body? 6 out of 10. I lost 30lbs pre-wedding, and I'm at my high school weight, but still not where I want to be.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? He makes me feel great no matter what. Honestly, I'm glad he has a little gut, too. If he was ripped, I'd feel worse about myself.
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? We're doing a weight loss competition at work Jan-May, and I'm determined to get my butt in gear, start working out again, and lose 20lbs. Right now, I'm in that awful holiday/ waiting for the new year to do anything rut.
How happy are you with your body? I think 8 out of 10. I'm more active now than I have been in the last 12 years or so. I stopped going on the scale, which seems to really help psychologically. There are still things that I am not happy with, but I'm feeling pretty comfortable in my own skin.
Does H play a role in how you feel about your weightlooks? He always compliments me, and he comments that he sees a difference since I have been working out more, so that helps as a motivator.
Are you doing anything to help improve the situation? I'm definitely doing good in the activity department. So-so on the eating. I'm pretty content. I think in the new year I want to work on the toning aspect, but I will never have a six pack, and I'm ok with that.
