I just want to add something as an extra piece of advice.
First of all, I'm glad you and DH worked things out and you changed your name
But on a serious note, teasing about weight and size is NOT okay. One of you even made a comment about girls who look like crack/heroin addicts because they are so small. They call overly thin girls anorexic, bulimic, addicts, whatever. Sadly, even one of you on here did that. I don't think people completely understand what kind of effect those hurtful things have on people, big or small.
I can't begin to count how many times I've been told to go eat a burger or ANYTHING and gain some weight. I've been called anorexic. I've been called a crack addict (or crack **ore). I am NOT, nor have I ever been, an addict or had an eating disorder of any kind. I find "regular" sized and plus sized women beautiful and would give anything to have even half of their curves and pounds. Some of us are just not lucky enough to have such a healthy body. Some of you know what I mean, others don't and that's okay. Funky, I like your body just the way it is and am jealous of the fact that you can wear dresses. I can't. I am too small and get made fun of because of my thin legs or for "showing off" my body. Please don't ever feel bad about how you look. There is someone standing next to you that would feel blessed to have what you've got.
For the rest who may not care, please be mindful of the comments you made about someone else. You have no idea what they've already been through and your comment could be the straw that will break the camel's back.

Associating thinness with being a crack addict is just ridiculous. Same thing with calling a heavy woman lazy

Wow what a horrible thing for your husband to say. Lucky he isn't married to me he would have wore a drink in his face. Seems to me there are far deeper problems in your marriage than perhaps you both think. You admit to not being attracted to him physically even before you married him. Why did you marry him then? I lost some weight recently not a huge amount but some. I hated the giggly bits. I was complaing about them one night to hubby when he said you always complain do you nothing about it. If you hate it so much then change it. I guess i had not realized how much i was complaining. This was enough for me to get fit and change. My hubby is the sweetest man and would never care about my weight,. Wonder if perhaps like me you have been complaining alot too and not realized and perhaps your hubby went the wrong way about telling you . I wish you both well in sorting out your problems.

Forgot to add you know your hubby better than any of us and if you really think he was being a butt just because he can. I would loose the weight and then kick his butt to the kerb

Exactly. But it has happened. Close-minded people worry me.

Me too. I imagine that is just as hurtful to you as my former co-worker ringing a cow bell and calling my name. I'm not THAT fat.
