I am 36 years old and have been married almost 17 years. My husband and I were high school sweethearts. I planned to go to college when I graduated, but my parents disapproved of "Dennis". They gave me an ultimatum to break up with him or pay for college on my own. I decided I wanted Dennis. I started working and we got married. I thought it wouldn't be hard to save up the money for college. But Dennis always had some reason why I couldn't go back yet.

About 12 years ago, we figured out that I can't get pregnant. I got a little depressed and started putting on weight. Dennis suggested that I join a gym and take some aerobics classes. Instead, I secretly enrolled part-time at the local community college. Now I'm about a year away from graduating and my husband has no idea! He thinks I'm working out 2-3 nights a week.

As for the weight, I lost it once I wasn't bored sitting at home eating junk food and watching tv.
