Online dating

Anyone else doing online dating? That's kind of my main reason for wanting to lose weight. After all, the two rules of online dating are 1. Be attractive, and 2. Don't be unattractive. And, in general, being blobby is not considered attractive.

Also, I'm pretty embarrassed by how lazy I am, and how much time I spend on my couch (as I type this from my couch). I never cook (unless opening a package and popping the food in the oven counts), because I hate everything associated with cooking, namely, grocery shopping, chopping veggies, cleaning up, etc.

I'm also getting back into my more active hobbies that have fallen by the wayside these past few years, mostly dancing and rock climbing. I'm not a gym person, and I dislike "working out," since I'd prefer to get my exercise through fun activities.

So, this lifestyle change will help me get healthier and increase my level of personal satisfaction. But mostly, these are habits that people tend to find attractive (because being lazy is usually not attractive), and will also hopefully lead to a more attractive body as well.

So I'm looking for new friends on here. Please feel free to add me. I'd like my new friends to yell at me whenever they see something in my diary that came from a package (which I'm sure will still happen frequently).

  • Hi,

    Contrary to what you said, being "blobby" can be quite attractive to some. Maybe you've been meeting the wrong people in your life. But then again, if it affects your self esteem then it becomes an issue.

  • I've met/chatted with some men online before. One ended very badly. But then I met someone whom I'm living with now. :) I personally think it's best to just allow yourself to meet people the way you are now. If someone can't accept you at your worst, then they don't deserve you at your best.

    I'm on several online dating sites. I've talked to some over the phone but never met any in person. I'm working on losing weight so that I can love me more as well as be around for my son. I hate being this big and it's ruining my life. We are already friends. :D I'll yell at you everyday if that's what you need to motivate you lol
