Hubby's coming home in 2 months

Hey Ladies,

Yesterday was my 6 months anniversary, I have lost about 80 pounds and have bout 30 more to go. My husband is in the Army and left on a year long tour to Korea when I was about 10 weeks out from surgery. He comes home in middle June for a few weeks vacation, and I am so nervous about it. I have lost a lot of weight since he left, about 50 pounds, however I'm not so nervous about that, it's all my extr skin. In clothes I can hide all this extra flappy skin I have everywhere, I feel good and confident in my clothes, however in the bedroom, undressed there is no hiding it and I am so uncomfortable and nervous by it. I should say that I have an amazing husband who has loved me through everything, didn't care when I was overweight and has never made me feel bad about myself, so I know the worry has more to do with my own internal thoughts than with my husband, just wondering if anyone else has felt this way and how you overcame it. Thanks

Lingerie, sweetie. Get some. You can shop online for a larger selection, and in private. It does wonders for one's confidence.

Hey, don't sweat it. In "guy terms" he's gonna feel like he's gettin some "strange" (legally...LOL) He'll be plenty modivated and overlook anything. My guess is you'll need a stopwatch to time "it" in seconds. Enjoy it.

Ha, I actually agree with recycle!

That man loves you and misses you!

Enjoy him, let him enjoy you, it's not going to matter what you wear, it's going to be about the honest love and acceptance of each other.

Aw! Your husband sounds awesome! I am 100% sure he is just going to be so happy to be home and back with you, he's not even going to see the loose skin that you do. Get some some lingerie that makes you feel sexy! It won't matter anyway as I'm sure he's gonna rip it off of you. ;)

Good luck and don't stress! Just enjoy him being home with you and seeing your great new body!

Thank guys, I guess I knew that but sometimes hearing it from someone else helps it sink in more. Thanks so much for the support.
