Weight Loss and FDS

Yes I did!!

Some background:

I had FDS dating strategies all my life until I made the mistake of falling for my best friend, which led to him basically taking me for granted and hurting me for 5 long years.

The last year of our relationship, I knew we were going to be over soon, I saw the writing on the wall, so I started to take better care of myself.

I got a promotion at work, several raises/bonuses, dropped a lot of bad habits, started eating right, then when I dropped enough weight I started working out too.

By the time my ex and I broke up, I had my revenge body ready to go and my UGW (ultimate goal weight) ~2 weeks later because I started the process 10 months ago.

For reference, when we first got together I was a size 6. My weight fluctuated up and down during our relationship, my heaviest at the time I started working on myself I was a size 12.

Today, I lost 60 pounds and I am a muscular size 2/4.

The thing that helped me the most was honestly reddit. The following communities are worth the sub for ideas and/or motivation:

In my opinion, the weight loss and improvement in my body did improve my dating prospects but probably not by too much....because men are easy. I never had a problem catching a dick at a size 12 or a size 2 or anything in between. It all boils down to confidence. I walk around like I have something that every man wants and can't have, and it drives them crazy. Getting healthy is important, but its an internal journey as much as it is external.

If you need any help or tips, I would be happy to share what worked for me.

Never put your life on hold while you're working on yourself. Keep dating. I kept myself from trying to date and get experience in my 20's because of this exact reason and I regret it.

I strongly recommend intermittent and/or extended fasting. A recent study completed finally proved that fasting leads to greater weight loss than simple calorie reduction. When I’m trying to lose, I do one meal a day (OMAD), get plenty of nutrients and calories and still drop pounds and inches.

Just keep working on yourself. It’s not healthy to date if you feel gross no matter what your weight is, but if you feel beautiful at this weight then carry on as usual while you’re on your journey. There was a video posted here where guys said they prefer a pretty face over a perfect body, but we should always strive for a HEALTHIER body. If you’re confident and truly love yourself (not an easy task), you’ll want to make the changes to better yourself. So I’m really proud of you for taking this step.

I have been wanting to lose 10 lb for a while, and you know what I did? A few weeks ago I gave my friend $400, wrote up a contract on a shared google doc and told her not to give that money back to me until I hit the appropriate weight loss milestones. Extreme! But I need the accountability. Do what works for you (but calorie counting and exercise work for everyone). Good luck!
