Hi, I found it's hard to be single and on a diet. I'm always going out to eat and just having fun. I found exercise does help. I have more energy. So far, I have a boyfriend who supports me, which helps too. Anyway, our weather here in Ohio doesn't help, though. Oh, well.

    I was thinking about this earlier...and its the reason why people start gaining weight when they start dating people because they're constantly going out for drinks or dinner! Glad you have someone who is supportive though..

    Yes it is! But at least you have support. More than most. I just need to be patient.. and work on myself a bit more!

    I actually decided to focus on my fitness and nutrition journey over dating. I personally can't handle both and I feel at this point in my life, making healthy habits now and setting up my future health is more important than dating.

    I think its easier. Just don't drink, and tell your date you like to eat healthy. If they don't like it. F'em. I don't do dinner dates, just coffee. And I don't drink. And I'm stubborn. lol

    I know so many people in LTRs whose partners try to sabotage their weight-loss efforts. Dating whilst dieting means you can look for someone supportive, someone who enjoys a healthy lifestyle.

    And who says you have to overeat & drink on a date? Do something active (and fun) like dancing, bowling, laser tag, paintball, miniature golf, go to an amusement park…

    You have a boyfriend who helps you diet whilst you're single? o.O
