...apparently I’m fitter, thinner, more athletic, calmer and look slightly better with a beard.  She pointed  at our wedding photo and puffed out her cheeks and said “See?”

Honestly there’s no pleasing some people.  Tsk.

That's what happens when you become a singlespeeder...

Worst ever bit of self deprecation.

She thinks you are trying to look good for some reasons related to other females ... 😀

Alright showoff! 🙂

To be fair though, I've gone the same way. From 22 stone about 10 years ago, currently around 14 stone 8.  I think I was around 17 stone on my wedding day 4 years ago.

Feels good though eh? 🙂

I'm twice the man my wife met. But not in a good way.

Sounds like a "get out of jail free" card to me.

Aye, you were in a bad place a while back, and some daft brigading on here didn't help. Give her a hug and allow yourself a wee dram of a nightcap. [Raises glass.]

This is is true thanks, although the physical and mental changes didn’t happen in parallel.  I have my cbt councillor to thank for the latter which has only been happening this year.  I only went to fix my flying issues and it’s very much changed me for the good in general as well - thanks for recognising that, the op was a tongue in cheek post though not a brag. 🙂

Having said that, I’ve a lot to thank my wife for in general, as a stalwart family provider, mother and friend.   I’m sure that’s true for most.

Sorry to break this to you. But. Shes reversed over your race bike. (Possibly euphemistically)

It's a beautiful thing when a man can celebrate his flamboyant side with other men without ridicule.

Similar here, we were looking at wedding pics a while back and my kids thought it wasn't me. I'd like to say it was the 4 odd stone I have lost since then but I think it was the hair on my head and a beard that wasn't grey!
