Search Results: dating someone overweight

Recently started dating a female friend of mine after months of just hanging out and getting closer, and closer. It was slow going but we finally crossed the friendship line and were really happy. We feel that we are almost perfect for each other in every way but one: I am very overweight and she feels its best not to commit to someone with a potentially short life and not physically attracted to.
I dont blame her at all for this. It's a harsh reality.
Even before her telling me this I was working on the problem. I dont like admitting my flaws to her so she doesn't know I have joined a gym, been walking more, etc. doing it because I knew it bothered her (and me, a little).
She has said we are just friends again but she would consider dating again once the weight is gone (she saw a pic of me a few years ago and liked what she saw- 60kg ago).

No matter what the weight is going. It will take months but it will happen.
I've heard from 2 theories on where to from there: 1) take her back if she's still keen; you two were perfect together; 2) dont take her back because she couldnt love me for me then, can she be trusted to love me if I got a disfigurement etc? (I dont think of her as being ALL about appearances but obviously it matters).
I really like this woman. As I said above, we feel that with everything else we are perfect.

What do you think? Should we consider getting back together once this issue is fixed or are we best to move on?
