I need to lose weight because my husband is not attracted to me anymore

I need to lose weight because my husband is not attracted to me anymore. This is not new to me. I have felt it for a long time, but he said the words recently. To be honest I do not find myself attractive, appealing, or enticing any longer either. And once you don't feel good about yourself it is pretty hard for someone else to do so.

A lot of women want to blame the man and say that he is being insensitive, but sometimes you have to look at yourself. Do you look in the mirror and like what you see? If you do that is great, but I don't. I need to lose at least 50 pounds in order to feel better about myself. Even though I am heavy enough to qualify for the gastric bypass I am not ready to live with the possible gastric bypass complications that come along with the surgery.

My husband loves me and I love him, and as far as I know he is not cheating on me. But I am not being fair to him or myself by not doing anything about my weight. It is effecting me physically, psychologically, and emotionally. I have to get out of this pit.

The workout reviews on this website will help me find the best beginners workout for me. I wish they had some plus size equipment reviews too.
