DH & I talk about everything…. And yes he knows how much I weigh..
the 1st time he heard/saw the actual #’s was when I was pg with my 1st baby (started out at 278 and weighed 301 the day of delivery), then when I was pg w/ my 2nd baby I started out at 301 and weighed 342 the day of delivery). So ever since then it really hasn’t been a big deal for him (or anyone for that matter) to know what I weigh.

Anyways a couple night ago, we were watching tv and Queen Latifa was on the Jay Leno show, and DH says.. “ now she’s a nice size how much do you think she weighs”… I am sooo bad about guessing peoples weights.. so I say “WHY” and he tells me “I know your goal weight is 200 but I just wanted to know what 200 looks like”..

The only thing I could tell him is “ do you remember what size I was
when we started dating ? I weighed 240…and 200 is smaller than that”. Well that comment totally got him “mad” cause he was totally serious about his questions…

so I told him to “ think back to 1996 when my brother passed away.. I weighed around 200 lbs then. (and I looked “hot” ) but that was before I had 2 babies . So I have no idea what 200 lbs will look like now, cause I still have a large droopy belly below my belly button (which we fondly call my “baby maker”). So who knows how much that will shrink up..

Thanks for listening.

So I have to ask, are you upset with him?? I can't tell what tone your post is in so i was wondering if he upset you with his question??


You raise a very good point though, what we looked like at 200 before baby

Argh!!! I hate those Venus/Mars discussions! And what a world that we look to Queen Latifah as the high end of acceptable body weight!

Be patient with him, sweetie. I'm sure he truly doesn't mean to be so exasperating!

You got me thinking as well. I was "toned" at 165, but I have no idea what I will look like at 165lbs now. My belly isn't what it used to be, and neither are my boobs for that matter LOL.
