I guess what bothered me is the way these men said it. It would have been more tactful to say you aren't my type so I won't date you but saying you are too fat to date is just plain rude. That is what got me more than anything else. Yes, you are right I am insecure with my body but certainly not my mind. In my mind, those were very low blows to me.
Aren't you a sweety. I think its a Calgary thing anyways. Have to move to BC as its a health reason with the migraines. Not the air pressure, but the dryness here. Sorry we couldn't hook up.
Well I found if you don't change your exercise routine, you will just maintain your weight and not lose. I just took up kickboxing as a new routine for my workout.
I understood where you are coming from as its not weight for you but fitness level. I like to cycle long distances and when a guy can't do 10 km and he is clutching his heart, it doesn't work for me.
Thanks for you kind words. I started working out to lose weight but now rather enjoy it. As well, I have a lot of energy and even mentally feel better. I used to be tired all the time and now can survive on 5 hours sleep and still be energetic. I was just surprised by the guys that labeled me as fat. Thanks again.
I agree, there is no downside to working out as I feel better than I have for years. I just couldn't figure out why these men said I was fat. I know I am not perfect but don't consider myself fat. I guess its all in the eyes of the beholder.
When I first started the weight training, yes I ate a lot but in the last 6 months haven't had much of an appetite which is probably why I am dropping weight again. I drink alot of water and eat lots of veggies/fruits so don't take in too many carbs. I thought men liked women with healthy appetites. I know the guys have dated say I don't eat enough; not quite like a bird but too them not enough as a human being.
Think it comes down to being healthy and just feeling good about yourself. That is what is important. If I can't please someone with how I look, he can hit the road.
I agree that I would rather have a man with a few pounds. I like to hug so don't want to break his bones with my hugs. I just didn't like the way these worded the way my body looked. I am not perfect but goodness knows I didn't think it was that bad. Actually I feel better as many have posted on this site that they didn't think I was overweight so I am feeling a whole lot better. I was just so proud to have gotten as far as I did and these guys kind of took the wind out of my sail. But as the old saying goes opinions are like a**hole, everyone has one.
Let's not forget stroke is 5 times higher with a person with a large waistline. Yes, I do measure inches and my waist was almost 7 inches smaller than it was 2 years ago. My doctor says the same thing, go by inches. My weight actually is high for my height but my doctor says I am fine and not too worry about it as I am healthy.
I agree with you that its a matter of taste. Your ex sounded quite shallow. I looked at your profile and honestly can't see what the problem is with you, so it has to be him. I am a tad overweight but nothing major. I am determined to drop a few more pounds and tone my body. I am working towards a goal of cycling 200km. This summer, I am shooting for 100km ride but hope to cycle further. I hope you find someone deserving of you.
We are on the same page literaly. BMI doesn't work when you exercise alot. For instance I exercised 5 out 6 days this week alone. My heart rate is low, blood pressure low, and body fat is low but I still have a high BMI.
I checked your profile and you have quite a small framed body and not much muscle so I could see why you would prefer someone smaller than you. I would think a woman bigger and muscular than you would make you feel uncomfortable. Makes sense.
Well, it looks like you are getting your weight training. I don't go to the gymn myself, just work out at 5:00 am in my basement. Also don't diet, that doesn't work, just eat better. Thats what finally worked for me.
Too overweight to date?
