As someone who was obese, I couldn’t date someone else who’s obese. Deep down it’s hard unseeing the unhealthiness and fuckery that we’re putting in our bodies. It’s really not our faults for our weight struggles, it’s the pre-packaged bs. I still struggle with weight and have gone through a lot of lengths to get rid of my fat. It’d be crazy going through that journey with someone else, though. I’d need to meet someone in the aftermath of realization and the re-wiring of the brain if anything
I used to be obese and I’m on the journey to healthy weight (currently mildly overweight but still down 80 lbs from starting) and I would absolutely date someone who is overweight. 1) my weight gain was due to life-saving medication and made me extremely insecure and I would hate to make anyone else feel the way I felt. 2) I think weight can look really good on some people. I’m also F and lesbian.
Obv being healthy is very important. But also, weight gain can be caused by a lot more than just not taking care of oneself at the end of the day. If you’re not attracted to overweight people that’s fine, but let people live and heal on their own time. I personally think beauty can take many forms
