Yes, I feel this way a lot. Some times are worse than others. I'm ALWAYS conscious of my belly and my thighs and I feel awkward and ungainly in bed. I can never really ignore it, but I do try to push it aside because there ain't no way I'm giving up the wild thing . But times when I've put on pounds above my regular fat level I've felt awful and it has definitely affected my interest and enjoyment in the boudoir.

But the good news for me is even modest losses make me feel a lot better. It helps that DH is understanding and loves women with some meat on their bones. He always just says he wants me to be healthy and fit, never skinny.

That said I can't wait for the day I can wear, and feel comfortable in, sexy lingerie. And the whole act is just going to be so much EASIER if I don't have to keep tabs on where my belly is in relation to his hands! Not to mention being more flexible would be a boon.

Lord, I can't believe the things I tell you people!
