Weight loss and Men

There are so many reasons people want to lose weight, to some it can be health purposes, look good, feel accepted etc. Whatever the reason you have for losing weight one thing is sure, you will attract attention during and after the weight loss. As a big (or fat) girl I attracted attentions from guys (oh yeah am pretty…lol). After I lost a good amount of weight, the attention increased, everyone noticed, compliments were flowing from right, front and center  These compliments will only make you work harder to achieve your goals. You will get attention mostly from the opposite
sex and believe me when I say your confidence will increase.

I am not the kind of lady that dresses up like wear heels or dresses etc. I love my jeans, t shirts, trainers and flats. I only wear dress or skirt when am going to church but as for heels…I will have to attend school of heels to pass. These attentions can be very disturbing at least to me it is, it’s weird and strange the way people will approach you, the truth is that I really don’t know what to call it. The way the media has defined what is acceptable as a normal body is alarming. To the media and in the eyes of most people, being thinner or slim always relates to being sexual and that is very disturbing. My purpose of losing weight is to be healthy and fit and not because I want to feel accepted, well my fiancé loved me at 140kg and still do now. In fact he doesn't even want me losing any more weight, at any size I am I know that I am valued.

The truth is that the society  deceives itself into thinking that your personality (your inner self) is what will attract the opposite sex to you but in reality we kind of judge a book by its cover in one way or the other. I don’t want to obese or overweight and I know no body does. So the reality is that being shapely or will I say slimmer or appropriate according to the media will attract you to the opposite sex.
