New motivation–not going through this–HELL NO! (sex talk-warning)
Ohh, no, I am NOT having this. I got new motivation to get off my butt and work out even more now. See, last night, hubby and I had sex. I noticed something right before we were finished and thought…oh no! Yep, we finished and then it hit me. That tightness and the pain in my chest–I used to say it was like an elephant on my chest. Just so much pressure. Well, last night, it wasnt as bad-I just had to wait til it passed for the pain to ease and to be able to talk again. However, it was bad enough to get my attention and Piss me off! What the hell is that doing showing up?? I’ve lost weight–I’m not back in the 290s or the 300s.
History: back when I was heavier (and a few years ago), that is what started me on my last journey to lose weight. I weighed anywhere from 306 lbs to 290 lbs. When I would have sex–it was some serious pain in my chest. I would have tears rolling down my face and I couldnt talk. It would take about 30 minutes to ease off. So, after 3 times, this girl got the message. Lose weight and quit ignoring it or else. That started the journey. 3 months…solid hard workouts and no sweets, no sodas…good portion control. I lost 45 lbs that way. I got my heart broken–and I stopped caring and of course, gained the weight back. (it wasnt hubby that did it). I will say that back then–I was in better shape though I probably weigh about the same now. It was because of the workouts.
So, to have that show up after all this time–like what the hell? But, if I need motivation–there it is in spades. I refuse to keep going through that when I can do something about it. Looks like the fight is on!
Note: no worries that its my heart guys. I’ve been checked out at different times–its a strong sucker–no problems lol.

How strange!? You only feel the pain during sex? I would say that is definite motivation! Just think would I rather have this donut, or the O . . . LOL! Obviously you have done it before, you can do it again.
Ok Deb…. this is your wake up call. Make today a good healthy one. Dont look back… dont look to tomorrow…. just today. I know you can do it.
New motivators are always a good thing!! You can do this!! Just think how worth it it’s going to be!!
I know you can do this. You will! Sometimes we just need that proverbial “kick in the ass.” Hang in there
Hey Debra, just something to consider. Does this pain always occur when he is on top? I know that since I have gained so much weight, sometimes when my boyfriend is on top, his weight on top of my weight pushes on my diaphragm and makes it VERY hard for me to breath. Feels just like an elephant sitting on my chest, as you described. This never happened when I was thinner, so I know it’s the extra weight. If I have my boyfriend support more of his weight on his elbows or we try a different position, this doesn’t happen. Hope this isn’t too much information–just trying to help. LOL
That is scary that you get that chest pain during sex. Does it happen when you do other physical activities? I was reading an article the other day about the symptoms you described and it was about coronary artery disease where plaque builds and leads to heart attack. Most people don’t know they have it until a heart attack hits. Please take care of yourself and take the steps needed to living a healthier life. You can do it!!!
It does sound like a warning sign. I got chest pains when I smoked cigarettes after 20 years of it. So, I quit cold turkey and never got another one. It scares you. Sometimes, I cannot tell an asthma attack from a heart problem. So far its been asthma. You might still mention it to the doctor. Good luck on losing more weight and I need some luck also after last nights snackathon.LOL Carol
I know when things like that happen they are a wake up call. So listen to your body and do what you need to do to feel better….I know you have been working hard just keep pushing.
That is such good motivation to lose weight!!
I am sorry that happened to you. That must have been very scary. I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss journey.
Deb, was something like that pain that woke me up too. C’mon! You can do it, take my hand!
Oh yes that is awesome motivation girl!!!
And try every time if it feels better.
That’s a good motifation. LOL
I know you can do it.
Take good care
