Related story: Recently single again after the blowup of my last boyfriend, I chose to take up an offer from someone I briefly dated 5 years ago to come visit. I'll admit to being a little apprehensive - although we'd stayed nominally in touch over those five years, we hadn't seen each other in those years and I'd gained a lot of weight since he last saw me - close to 40 lbs.
Sure enough, he, in that annoying way men have, had actually lost some weight since I last saw him and was sexier than ever. But did he notice my excess weight? Not a bit! In fact he commented on enjoying the view as I climbed the stairs ahead of him and later reveled in my "luscious" curves.
I still plan to lose weight - in fact, I'm down ten lbs. since I started a walking challenge at the start of the year- but it's nice to know that his approval isn't dependent on a few pounds here or there.
