Question Posted Thursday February 11 2010, 9:32 am
Hi,
A while ago, when I met this guy, I was pretty overweight. 200lb/5'5". My doctor told me I had a hormonal problem and he put me on BC which helped bring me down to 165 lbs.
I've been on a really strict diet and exercise plan but all it has done has maintained my weight. My doctor says to give it up because my family has a history of obesity (my mum is 225 lbs and my dad is 350 lbs) so it may be harder for me to lose more but I lost two pounds in the past month and that means I know I can do it but it'll probably take a bit longer than I hoped.
Anyway, I really like this guy, we're really good friends. I know he likes average girls. He has a picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt for his background when she was skinny but he's always dated like normal but still slender girls, I don't know an example might be something like this -> ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I really like him and know some people might think he's shallow because of weight but I don't really care because I understand about standards and all of that. He's actually really nice, he's very respectful towards women and he always shakes his head when I refer to my diet so I know he's concerned about me as a friend. I would really like him to be more than that I honestly think that because I was so overweight before, he never looked at me that way.
We've always flirted and teased each other but he never took it further? So could you please take a look at the generated image of me (it's pretty accurate except my hips are a bit bigger I think) and let me know if you think he could overlook my weight because of my personality? -> ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) or do you think I should lose more weight?
And please don't ask me to tell him straight up. I don't think I could handle that sort of rejection.
Thanks for your help

Also, if a guy wont date you because you're a little overweight then he's not good enough for you anyway. 3rd, you should lose weight for yourself not for some guy. Everyone should lose weight for their health, confidence and just to feel good. No matter what you look like just be confident. Have that attitude of "it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of me, but how I feel about myself.". People in general are impressed with that kind of attitude. Walking around with confidence can actually make you more physically appealing to guys too. [ Jumpercutie2009's advice column | Ask Jumpercutie2009 A Question ]
