If you drop your good habits that you gained to become healthy once you feel you have the guy, yeah it's bad.
Also if I knew a girl was trying to lose weight to get me I'd be weirded out. To me that seems desperate and I'd wonder what other insecurities she has.
Not wrong, but it isn't going to be strong enough motivation for you to make it happen.
Let the transformation be for you, with happy side effects of your SO not being able to keep their hands off your amazing bod.
I think its ok to find motivation wherever you do so long as its on the way of self-improvement. Dont boil it down to it being for someone other than yourself though. You just got your motivation from there.
If you love someone, you want to be the best person you can for them. That means being healthy and looking good. If you are overweight, you are not at you optimal health.
I think the big difference is that if you are trying to lose weight for them to like you more. If you are losing weight so the guy you like will date you, that is not healthy. If they really love you they will love you at any size.
I think you're looking at it the wrong way. First are you losing the weight a safe and healthy way? Secondly say you lose the weight and rhe person could still give less then a damn about you. Do you regret losing rhat weight? I mean sure there may be a part of you rhat says "i did this for nothing". But you didn't do it for nothing. You raised your attractiveness whether that paticular person thinks so or not. And more importantly you're healthier overall because of it.
If you want to loose weight, loose it for yourself, not for someone, even if they are not forcing you.
What if that person you lost all that weight for ended up dumping you, you might end up getting a breakdown and overeating yourself to death.
So in my humble opinion if you want to do something, even if you aren't being forced by someone, never do it for anyone, it doesn't matter what it is.
I voted it depends. During a time when people are embracing who they are more than ever, I don’t think “fat” people should be ridiculed mercilessly.
However, obesity is VERY unhealthy. The number of health complications it leads to is endless.
If you’re losing weight for your kid’s, grandchildren, or loved ones so that you have a longer, healthier, happier life then I applaud you.
Better than not wanting to lose weight at all.
But its worse than wanting to lose weight for yourself because love doesn’t last and when that person goes you will gain wait again.
If you want to lose weight and you'd do it even if you were not with that person it's okay. I had a friend who wanted her boyfriend to lose more weight. The thing was that he had started to do so before they met. She just didn't know how long it would take. I said that since she didn't force him into doing it and he started before meeting her it would come off. If you are forced into losing weight it will be nearly impossible
never ever put another on a pedestal. you will always be the last one by your side in life. you come first. love yourself. the older you get the more you will see that self love is all you need, others are just a bonus on this ride we call life.
Yes because now if they leave you or somebody else now your miserable anyway. Lose weight to be healthy. But love yourself! you'll end up obsessed and depressed. People will only see the body. Not your soul and what makes you unique.
Thats about the only time i try to lose it tbh... when im motivated to look good for the dude
You should want to lose weight for yourself, just for the sake of being a healthier person. We only have one body, and sure modern medicine can do a lot, but it can’t fix everything.
First off do it for you but if doing it for someone In mine encourages you Let them be your motivation but let it be for you either way the guy will appreciate
Yes. Your reason should never be attached solely to someone else. Because they could leave or things could go south at any time. And then there goes your motivation/inspiration.
you should be wanting to lose weight for yourself. not to impress/or get somebody cos they may turn around and reject you and say: i liked who you were. not what you have become.
How about wanting to lose weight for yourself? There is nothing wrong with wanting to be physically fit so long as you can still keep your life in balance.
No, it's not wrong at all. It's actually a sign of selflessness. You're putting someone else before yourself.
If your primary motivator is someone else, than yeah its bad, if the primary motivator is you, to get healthy than it's a good thing. One leads to resentment, the other leats to fulfillment.
I lost 80 pounds for someone and I dont regret it, but each is their own
Did he tell you to lose weight?
no i did it for myself
