The last few weeks in particular have been really successful for my weight loss. The biggest factor has been the constant bike-riding in reaction to the Gulf oil "spill" (that word barely covers it, it's not like someone dropped a glass of oil). I recently put on a pair of size 6 skinny jeans and they looked OK!
On the flip side, this improved body/body image has not resulted in improved dating success. I've been on several 1st dates and one 2nd date and I feel like men are less interested in me than ever, given the lukewarm interactions following these initial dates. The disappointment is really getting to me. I "knew" before this that being thinner does not equal being happier but I always thought that for me, any amount of weight loss would of course improve my life. So sadly, I am feeling lower than ever about myself. Has anyone else been through this?
