scarletakb you sound like you are on the right track.

I substitute teach yoga at the health club I belong to and I can't say enough about its' benefits. The fact you are into it is a good thing, especially combined with your other activities.

The fact you are aware you are overweight and pursuing a more healthy lifestyle puts you ahead of the game by far, couple this with the fact that your lover is obviously attracted to you as you are makes your situation seem pretty good.

My advice is to not worry about what anyone else but your lover thinks, since he seems happy with you to hell with what some twit says in a deliberately hateful post.

Talk to your lover about any body image issues you have and see what input he has- he obviously saw something he likes
