NSV: After about 10 years together, my wife commented on my physique
My wife is very thin and tall. She's never said it, but I know she finds thinner guys more attractive. I lucked out anyway and we're in a very happy marriage.
As a teenager, I hit my all-time high BMI of about 38.4. I dropped a lot through starvation and excessive exercise and fluctuated around 28.7 for most of my adult life.
More recently, we had twins and I committed to getting near the lower range of the BMI scale (no underweight, but the bottom quartile of the average weight range).
I'm not there yet, but I'm at 23.1. Most important, I'm doing this without diets, fad drinks, or anything else unhealthy. Lots of water, moderate amounts of food, peanuts for satiety and jumpstarting my system in the morning, and so on.
Anyway, I still wear my (now extremely baggy) clothes so my weight is pretty well hidden. But today, my wife must have caught a particular angle as I was working with the twins because she exclaimed "Wow, you're so thin! That's crazy!". She's only ever known me around the BMI 28.7 and we've been pretty overwhelmed by twins so understandably she's not examining me daily.
This was the first time she ever said anything about my appearance and I instantly pumped my arms and danced like I won the Super Bowl. It was so great.
In another month, I'm going to buy a few pairs of pants and a new belt to reward myself for the body frame.
