Good afternoon... Does anyone know about dating sites or meeting people sharing the same journey?

I've joined "normal" sites... But only to be disappointed.

40 single and looking... Need support

Hope these help. LoveAfterWLS.com & http://www.wlsingles.com/

This is such a great topic. I've struggled with dating all my life. There is/was a particular guy I've been interested in for years. We have "met up for dinner" a few times. I know he likes me, but he couldn't get past the fat. I haven't told him about the surgery mostly because it's none of his business. What I struggle with is the fact that maybe now I will get attention from guys when I didn't before - and I am the same person as I was a week ago. With the guy that I currently like, I don't want be disappointed should actually decide to want to date me. My thing is if you didn't see me when I was fat, you don't deserve me. it's a huge struggle. I know this is not related to your question, so I apologize if I've taken it off track. But the whole dating thing - I hadn't considered it until I read this post!

This is a really good question ????

Good morning.. sorry for the late response.

I agree with you my philosophy has been if you didn't see me when I was a hundred and 20 pounds heavier you don't deserve me right now.

I guess that's why people say that one changes their ways after losing weight but as I have always struggled with weight and have seen the indifference of others at my highest weight it's easier to hold up that standard.

Especially with those I got the speech " I would totally make you my girlfriend of you weren't that big"

Oh..but I DO flaunt myself now

...in front of them...ok just a little...LOL

I notice the way men look at me now band I don't even acknowledge them, I guess it's a stand for my old self or it could be that I was just so used to being overlooked that I don't even care if they look my way.
