Are you physically attracted to or repelled by a thin person?

What body type attracts you most?

How have your own body issues affected your love/sex life?
I used to think I was only attracted to tall, athletic men. This is true of men I don't know. But I came to understand that the right personality always overwhelms everything else. I've dated short and I've dated fat. And, at the time, I was bemused with myself that I didn't actually care. It seemed odd even to me how hot I thought they were but that didn't change how hot I thought they were.

My own body issues have affected my love/sex life. I became less wanton about sex until I took the weight off. I was too self-conscious.

Do you exercise? I really can't recommend it enough. And I don't mean it as a weight loss tip. Regular exercise might make you lose weight if your weight is the result of a sedentary life but not if you have a food issue. What it will do is improve your confidence, your energy level and your self-esteem. Even if you remain overweight.

I couldn't care less about your weight. But there is no reason for you to be so full of self-doubt. Especially since you're with a guy who finds you hot.

Exercise.

It probably won't make you thin but it will make you happier. Also, try to add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. That should improve your attitude as well. Walnuts, avocados, oily fish like Salmon and Tuna and Halibut.
