i showed a guy i’ve been seeing for a few months a picture of me when i was 15kg heavier and his reaction shocked me
i’ve been seeing this guy for two months and it’s been great. he has all of the qualities i’ve been looking for in a person; he’s sweet, funny, polite, great in bed, etc.
we go out to eat at least once or twice a week and in the past couple of months i’ve gained a few weight, maybe 6-10kg…
when we go out we get appetizers, mains, drinks and dessert…and then breakfast out the next day.
i was joking with him earlier today about gaining weight but i also said “it’s a good thing i look good at different weights, whether it’s 60 or 100 kg.”
he snapped his head towards me and said, “100kg??! no way you’ve ever been 100kg.” i pulled up a photo of me from 2019 and he stared in awe.
i could see sparkles in his eyes. he begged me to show him more photos of me at that weight and asked if i had any more
his reaction shocked me because i so often feel like i have to force myself to be small, and for what? it’s okay to not be teeny-tiny. it made me feel safe and appreciated

- I used to know a girl who was very pretty. But I saw a picture of her when she was heavier, she was an absolute bombshell. No kidding, she should have been a plus sized model.
I am not that way. I found out that I do not look great too under or too overweight. There is this sweet spot.
Our features are just different. It isn’t just a “everybody looks good at this weight” thing. Everyone should find out what works best for them. - This was unexpectedly sweet. I’m glad you were able to see yourself as someone who is attractive even when you’re not the smallest you’ve been. He seems like a good guy. All the best hon
- It’s great to know your partner appreciates your body no matter the size, and I’m happy you found a keeper! Life changes and appearances change, but appreciation from your partner shouldn’t change.
