Does your DH or SO know how much you weigh?

I got another fill today and was feeling pretty good. I haven't lost any weight but I'm real hopeful and know I will when I have proper restriction and begin my exercise regime.

As I was telling my husband about the fill experience today, I accidently let slip how much I weigh: "The doctor was there while the nurse weighed me and he was going 'come on! under 223!'"....oops! Gosh darn it! DH's mouth forms a little 'o' cuz he knows this was a major booboo on my part.

The fact is that I'm 5'5 and weigh 221 today. He is 6'2 and weighs 228 or so. Grrrrr!!!!!!

I don't look like I weigh that much (I've been told) but of course it doesn't really matter.

I say to DH, "But I don't look like I weigh that much do I??? *whine whine*..." and his response is "Absolutely!"... haha just kiddin'. What do you think he said. 'Oh no hun....you look wonderful'.

Why does this matter so much to me?

He paid for my surgery and I'm nearly 3 months out with no weight loss.

I didn't gain over the holidays, which is amazing.

ARG!!!! :rolleyes:

I know DH's weight and he knows mine. We are each others biggest shoulder to lean on. I can't remember who said it earlier, but DH is doing all my measurements and photos and I did his. No secrets, it's obvious I'm fat.

My DH knows exactly how much I weigh but he won't tell me how much he weighs. Kind of ironic since he's only about 20 lbs overweight (spare tire).

Mine knows my weight. I have been blessed with a guy who, after 25 years, loves every inch of me, no matter what size I am. He was so cute the day of surgery. We were leaving the house and he leaned over and kissed me on the top of my head. He said "change whatever you want -just don't change your smell!" Wierd, I know - but I get it!

My DH didnt know my weight until recently. But I finally decided that I wanted him to see the results on the scale of what I lose so I showed him and he was like wow I thought you might weigh *such and such* which is about 50lbs less so that made me feel good. Anyway hes really supportive and its funny cuz now hes gaining a little (hes not a big guy at all) and I told him that he was gonna have to stop eating my leftovers...

He thinks I weigh less than him (he weighs 160 and I weigh 180) LOL. I tell him that I am heavier than him but he absolutly will not believe it. Kinda sweet, really.

I do not tell anyone what I weigh. Especially not my SO. She is ex-military and of course fit. She weighs herself everyday and complains about being 160 lbs! She also drops weight really quickly. I don't, hence the lap band surgery. Once I get below 160 I will probably tell her, but not before!

I know this sounds silly but what does DH stand for? I know SO is significant other.....and m assuming the other is something husband, but i cant figure it out.........lol
