Getting From Here to There

Introduction;

Is the woman in your life hefty? Do you love the way she looks no matter what? Pudginess and all? Is it safe to say, that you are NOT head-over-heals in love with their new sense of low self-esteem, from being overweight?

Be honest with yourself, it will make a difference on how you read this hub.

This hub is geared towards, helping all those in need of getting from here to there. Since I'm a hefty housewife myself, I have intimate first hand knowledge, of life as a sex goddess gone fat. Therefore, I do personally know how to help your fat-lover get passed their fat issues. In keeping that in mind, this hub is not a promise to be a new cure all fix. It is not a self promotional blog, nor am I working for a company to sell you something. I just don't believe that people should be content with having a crappy sex life. Consider this blog a road map to finding a mutual understanding and respect between the both of you.

Flashing Back to My Life; As for myself, when my husband and I said the, "in sickness and in health” wedding vow, I selfishly included any and all. What I mean by that is, is it took me a long while to realize that maybe my newfound low self-esteem, was something my loving, husband didn’t think about when he said those vows to me. Moreover than that, was the fact that when we married, I was steeping with self-confidence over my former size and beauty.

Nevertheless, even though the "I do’s" were said, try asking your mate what they were thinking. Though, you might better off trusting me when I say, it was more along the lines of cancer or something terrible like that. I’ve yet to come across a man who said to me, “Yes, Julie I was thinking of her weight gain and self-esteem issues.” Come on now, seriously have you?

Sex Goddess Gone Fat ;

It is a double edge sword, which women need to realize when I say that, most men find it extremely difficult to deal with change. It is generally hard and somewhat upsetting for men, to deal with the fact that their sexual partner has become bouncy, plump, or fat. With that said, it is perfectly natural for them to feel this way. Sometimes that type of change, from their chosen life partners, was not expected. Moreover, there is concrete evidence supporting the fact very few men like change. It is a well known fact the world over; traditionally society has conditioned men towards routine. Therefore, any weight gain on your part was not initially part of that day-to-day routine. Now on the other hand, this is not a license to call your newly, plump love one names.If that is what your relationship has developed into, it is my guess that the both of you have greater issues than sex- to deal with. On the other side of the coin, women are conditioned to embrace change. Understanding the fact that maybe she doesn’t appreciate (understand) the man’s newfound stand-off behavior, can have a lot to do with explaining why her self-esteem has all but faded away.

Feeling sexy is a state of mind. The problem is that many heavyset women ignore that fact. They simply fail to realize that they have the same potential, to be the Sex Goddess they always were. That my friend, is where a little positive re-enforcement from you, is the most beneficial.

Believe it or not, sometimes the act of touch is a quick fix to your lover's low self-esteem. Sometimes if you’re lucky, just rubbing your wife/hubby's big, fat belly is enough to get them past feeling ugly. However, there are those times that no matter you do or say; it is not enough. I find most people are like this.

Why?

Women and men tend to let todays society standards, dictate to them the terms and conditions in which to live by. Being fat, is an unacceptable standard in today's society.

Taking the Initiative ;

Life creates uncomfortable circumstances. These fussy messes have a way of sneaking into our bedrooms and disrupting your sex life. Naturally, gaining unwanted weight can be one of them. It is unrealistic to expect love ones to feel comfortable with you; when what they see in the mirror, makes them feel uncomfortable with themselves. The time you have spent together, does not matter either in this instance. However, it is the key to getting her from here to there.

Earlier this month, I featured a piece called the Sensate Focus Sexual Exercise. Applying many of this ideas and techniques (taught to you) can help you, and your lover to move past any insecurity & steam forward as before. Better still, other couples helped by this exercise, have been able to see vast improvements in their sex lives. This personal journey has a way of tearing down those confinements, that has forever kept you and your lover contained in backwards motion. It is truly silly to live your life with a lover and never be fully sexually satisfied.

Created in the 1970's, the Sensate Focus sexual exercise is a revolutionizing experience to making better lovers. With over twenty-four years of sexual experience, I have known nothing else like it. Personally, I have read all of Nancy Friday's sexual fantasy books. I have even participated in Laura Corn's sex invitational skits, only to be left feeling dirty or victimized when through. The Sensate Focus sexual exercise is none of that. Through a variety of steps and stages, people are able to build back self-esteem and confidence, slowly and effectively. It is a way to learn more about one another. This sexual exploratory practice was developed to help couples; victims of severe sexual rape, incest or other such violations, move pass inhibitions that they might be suffering from. What these doctors from Washington University, in St. Louis, Missouri discovered were techniques, that not only accomplish the initial goal, but so much more. What they found was an exercise; that through the sense of touching, taught people how satisfy their partners on each other’s (own) terms. More importantly, in the end nobody in a relationship, felt violated or victimized repeatedly. The years together as sexual partners, will benefit you the most at this stage. Since some trust is established, when it is up to you to help your partner get over their poor self-image, it is easier for you to introduce the exercise. Plus-size women are not always easily convinced. It is up to you to tell her that you want or need more erotica. If you love the way she looks, fat and all, show her by touching her.

Carolyn Myss in her book Anatomy of the Spirit correlated fears to obesity. So the larger you are, the more fears are holding you back. In a way, it is a natural response of life to increase in size if it perceives a threat in the environment. Cortisol, a stress and fear hormone makes the belly fat increase. I however find the photo below beautiful. Fears or not that is one good photo of a woman who is unafraid to celebrate herself!

I don't know - I understand that love SHOULD be there no matter what, but I just have never been sexually attracted to fat women. I would rather try to help my partner to lose weight, rather than accepting it.

Wow, I have a couple of books to add to my TBR pile. Damn it. What Cecilia said was very interesting -- never even thought of that!

Also, I am loving your hubs on all of this. You are incredibly beautiful in the way you write. I get the impression of a beautiful woman with a glow on her face in knowing her self-worth. Seriously. It's a gorgeous image in my head that you've conjured.

So, keep hubbin', my friend.

I’ll tell you what most men think. They married a woman because they found her attractive, intelligent and they shared the same values. That poppycock about men’s love of routine is just that. Men like attractive women. Fat is not attractive. Men go into marriage expecting that their wife will get wrinkles, stuff will sag and all the other things that go with aging. They expect that their wife may gain a REASONABLE amount of weight. They do not expect that they will blow up to whale-size proportions or gain unseemly fatty proteburences. When it happens, they are disapointed; angry; distressed; and a whole maelstrom of other emotions. Invariably, women think they have a man “trappped” in a marriage and get “comfortable” and “let themselves go.” A fat wife is not sexy, do not delude yourself. If your’e fat and unattractive, I guarantee you that your husband is checking out his co-workers, the meter maids, the babysitter, in short, any reasonably attractive woman he can see that can remind him what a nice looking woman looks like. If you’re lucky, he’s only looking. How about you put down the ice cream and try to look good for yourself, your man, and set a good example for your children? Before he has an affair or leaves you for someone who respects herself and has a sane relationship with food? Really.

And I'll ignore your petty approach to love husband dear.

See this is me ignoring you........

Did I mention that I cannot stand stupid people? Well I find superficial people intolerable.

I was here earlier thru a link. Did you delete actualhusband's 2nd comment? I coulda sworn he had one. At any rate, I think he has a legitimate viewpoint borne of frustration. When I was fat, I did not feel sexy even though my husband always treated me like he wanted me and like I was sexy. When I lost over 70 lbs and was able to fit into my size 3 wedding dress, I gotta admit THAT made me feel sexy and my husband is ecstatic!

Granted, my dh wasn't turned on by the extra weight and he certainly wasn't turned on by my lack of 'feeling sexy' but despite him always chasing me around the house, ME feeling sexy happened naturally when I started losing the weight (exercise, good diet, supplements). Notice it didn't happen AFTER i lost ALL the weight, but when I STARTED to lose it.

There may be different ways for a woman who is overweight/obese to feel sexy but pushing for optimal health is, in my opinion, an excellent way to go.

And I feel some sympathy for actualhusband. When I pestered my husband to re-grow his mustache (that he was sooo done with) I told him, 'but you had it when we dated and got married' he returned volley by sweetly saying, 'and you were a size 3 when we got married!

Ouchie and touche`.

I know a woman or two that has had more than a little trouble adjusting to changes in her husbands size and weight.

Feeling sexy is a state of mind. Obesity is not. obesity not only changes the way we look, it changes the way out loved ones see us.

My husband has always wanted me at whatever size I became. Married for 20 yrs. and he has seen me at size 6 to 18. He loved me just as much BUT when I was heavier I didn't feel the need nor did I feel sexy. This past year I lost 40 lbs. Although I put 10 lbs. back on, I feel wonderful and he looks at me differently. I do understand An actaul husbands' comments and it really is the way most of them think. I combined dancing videos and cabbage soup. Of course I go back and forth and in between I eat whatever I want. Check out my Dr. Oz soup and Julianne Hough video hubs!

I am a very sexy fat woman who has a boyfriend that loves me for me. As a matter of fact he chased me before we got together. He does not have low self esteem (what MARINE does?) and neither do I. I LOVE ME and so does he!!!

Go to a gym, and most of the women there will be recently divorced. Why do women wait until they get divorced to get in shape? They wait because they know that there isn't a man alive who will want her if she is fat. Had she tried to keep herself looking good for her husband, she wouldn't have to worry about getting fit for somebody else.

I completely disagree.

That's because you are still married. Wait until you get divorced. After leaving the court room you'll head to get a membership at a fitness club. All divorced women do.

No. Divorced. Not happening. You have me confused with somebody's else's marriage. My man is well taken care of... so, my disagreement with your thought process is something entirely different.

My issue with your argument has everything to do with how shallow minded your position comes off as. Shallowness is not a virtue to brag about. You are clearly comfortable with being narrowminded and shallow. I disagree with your logic and thought process because of it.

Men are as shallow as women. If a man is not with an attractive woman, it's because he cannot get her. Just like when a woman is with a poor man. She can't get a rich one.

Have you ever seen Brad Pitt with an overweight woman? Have you ever seen Pamela Anderson with a poor man?

Please do not misinterpret. I never said that I wouldn't have sex with a woman who is overweight. Many men enjoy intercourse with overweight women. Sometimes overweight women are better in bed than thin women. Some thin women rely too much on their looks, and they are like blankets on a bed when it comes to sex. However, overweight women tend to be more exciting in bed.

I guarantee you that every man you know has had sex with an overweight woman. He just doesn't want to be seen in public with her. The same can be said about a woman. A woman will have sex with a guy who owns a cheap car. She just doesn't want to be seen riding around in it.

My girlfriend is gorgeous, and I love to show her off in public. I also have a "friend with benefits" who is overweight. There is something really yummy about her. I've never shown her off though, but she doesn't seem to mind.

I love this hub! The way you wrote it, presented it and even bared yourself through it - it was an excellent read and easy to connect to.

To be honest, I think all people are horn dogs - and if nobody knew what everyone else got up to, we would probably sleep with everybody we knew. Just to see what it was like. If it could be a secret, or erased, nobody REALLY cares about over weight, some even think it looks better. But so few of us will admit it, because our 'friends might judge us' (or some crap like that.)

It IS all a state of mind, and self-esteem, and you really made sure to get that point across. Love it! Voted up :)

Ok My comment is probably gonna anger someone, but I do not care. They'll get over it. First off, Why do some of you people say the rudest things about people that are overweight? My wife is overweight. I love her no matter what. I have never, ever been so damn disrespectful to her by calling her fat, gross, disgusting or any other terms I have seen some people typing about their spouses. I have never talked about her like that behind her back either. I love my wife. I do exactly what the lady said above. I kiss my wife's stomach and touch her intimately. It doesn't disgust me at all. What disgusts me tho is most of y'all are concerned about damn sex instead of your wifes health and welfare? Whats more important? You getting sex? Or you helping your wife lost weight and trying to keep her around another 20+ years? You help your wife/husband get what they want as far as weight loss and and stop focusing so much on getting your rocks off and I can guarentee you that he/she will take care of your sexual needs and make up for lost time. Stop being thinking about yourselves and think about keeping your spouse alive.
