Hi Angel,

So, who thinks you look "icky"? Your boyfriend? I think not. Your boyfriend loves you as you are. Perhaps the only person that thinks you look "icky" is... who? YOU? Well, unless there was someone else hiding in the closet it looks like you're IT.

Have you talked with your boyfriend about how you feel? Wait! Don't tell me... Uh... Let me guess. That would probably be a big, fat NO. Am I right? (Humor me and just say I am...)
Well, there's that old "communications, communications. communications" thing again. Ya gotta say what you're thinking and feeling otherwise you're gonna implode!

Look, here's the way it works around MY neck of the world... Bear in mind that in MY world... Well, as my wife is always telling me, "You're practically perfect in every way!" so who am I to correct her? At any rate, my wife has put on a few extra pounds over the years (as have I) but, aside from the health issues involved with weighing more than your optimal weight, I Love my wife regardless of what she looks like. It's because I Love who my wife IS. She isn't her appearance. Would I prefer that she lost a few pounds, yeah, probably. But that doesn't change the way I feel about her one iota.
I'm sure your boyfriend feels the same way about you too. Talk with him!

So, I guess it all comes down to how YOU feel about yourself then, eh? Hmmmmm... I think you make it pretty clear what you think about THAT! "Icky" huh? Um... well, I can honestly tell you from a guys point of view, it would take an awful lot for ME to think of a woman as being "icky" in any way... No, scratch that. I don't think I could ever think of a woman that way. I might think, "she needs to drop a pound or two", but "icky"? Never.

Let's see... are you concerned that your boyfriend might loose his desire for you? Well, I can tell you that if he DOES, then he doesn't deserve you because he's a shallow jerk. But, knowing him what little I do, I would say that he's not a shallow jerk. Quite to the contrary.

Anyway, show me a woman that doesn't think she needs to change her appearance in some way and I'll show you a... well, I was going to say a "liar", but that might be a bit too judgemental. Perhaps I should just say that she may be attempting to delude others.

Every woman is a Goddess whether she thinks so or not... but then, that's just me... You might want to check in with your boyfriend on that.
