Who Am I?

Disclaimer: That image isn't me. Like many people, I'm reluctant to show my real photograph on the internet.

So it's an AI-generated image from a description of me.

Still fairly pretty (or so my friends tell me) but, well, chubby. Maybe a little more so than the image would suggest.

My name is Emily Saunders and I've been married to Dan for nearly twelve years.

Those years have been kinder to Dan than to me.

I guess that was inevitable.

I'm Overweight

I've had two kids and never lost the weight I put on after our daughter was born. I'm at least 20 pounds overweight. Okay, probably closer to 30.

I've tried everything. Five different diets, even a personal trainer at the gym. Nothing seems to work.

Sure, I can lose a few pounds but in no time flat I've put them back on.

Usually with interest.

My Husband the Firefighter

Dan, on the other hand, is a firefighter and still has the broad chest, tight ass and rock hard abs that I fell in love with twelve years ago.

Our (Lack of) Sex

But our sex life is almost non-existent. Up until a few years ago, Dan couldn't keep his hands off me. This might shock you, but we even did it once in the carpark of our local church - late at night when it was empty, of course but still... I'm pretty sure that's when we conceived our son Noah, so I sort of felt we had God's approval.

But now, it always seems to be instigated by me. And if I'm honest, it's not because I want the sex, it's just that I crave the reassurance of being loved.

I didn't mean to be this frank, but I'm really glad to get it off my chest.

Still in Love

I like being married, I love my kids and yes, I still love my husband.

But I think I'm losing him.

And why not? I've lost the sexy figure I once had, while Dan has not only kept all his assets, but spends a lot of his time rescuing damsels in distress, or their stuff, or their pets and I have no doubt they're ever so grateful.

So what did I do?

The Best Decision

I made the best decision of my life. I confronted Dan with my doubts and fears.

To my relief, he was totally positive.

He was dismayed that I felt the way I did, assured me of his undying love, but admitted that he was no longer as attracted to me as he once was.

"I know it's shallow, Em" he said, but I loved the fit, taut body you had before the kids came along, and I'd do anything to help you get it back."

Tried Everything

"But I've tried everything," I said. "You know how many diets I've been on, and how much time I've put in at the gym. Nothing works."

By this time, I was in tears.

"Then we'll find something that does," said Dan.

And he said it with so much confidence, that I felt some hope stirring.

For the first time in years.

We Need to Talk

Two weeks later, Dan asked me to sit down, as he had something to tell me.

My heart was in my mouth. Was this it? Had he found someone else?

No, thank God.

He'd been conducting extensive research.

And what he'd discovered was eye-opening.

Not My Fault

"Em, I think I know what the problem might be," he said, "and it's totally not your fault."

Well, he was right.

Over the next few weeks, my excess fat simply melted away, and in no time at all, I was back to the ideal body weight that I'd enjoyed before having children.

My New Body

I still went to gym, but with two major differences:

1. I really enjoyed it and
2. My muscles started to look firm and toned. My butt was tight and I even had the outline of a six-pack!

Welcome back to the body that Dan fell in love with.

Better Sex

And, while I'm not going into detail, our sex life has never been better.
