Writer looking to talk to you!

Hi everyone.

My name is Catherine Hughes and I'm a freelance writer.

I'm looking for people to interview for an article on how dramatic changes in looks - like mine! - can affect a relationship.  I was size 14 when I met my husband; I'm size 24 now.

Has your appearance changed dramatically since you met your partner?  Perhaps you've gained or lost a great deal of weight?  Maybe drug treatment, a medical condition, or surgery has altered your looks significantly. Or it could be that you've suffered alopecia? I'm interested in learning how your partner has responded to the change in your physical appearance and would like to speak to couples who have overcome any difficulties that have arisen because of it, or who have found, perhaps, that their relationship has become stronger because of it.

I'm aiming to write a compassionate and sensitive article for a women's glossy magazine about how love transcends looks. Your name can be changed if you wish to remain anonymous for the article. If you're interested, could you please, in the first instance, reply to this thread.  You don't need to post details directly here unless you are happy to do so; private contact will be arranged at a later stage.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Catherine
