Episode 202: Romantic Relationships and Dating after Significant Weight Loss
It’s definitely not only your body that changes following significant weight loss! In fact, most areas of your life are affected when you lose weight. Think about it… in addition to improvements in physical health, people who lose weight get out and participate in more of what life has to offer. They become more engaged in community activities, travel on trains, planes, and…a lot of cruise ships, attend concerts and go to amusement parks. Their relationships often change as well. This includes friendships, relationships with co-workers, immediate and extended family members, and often… with romantic partners. Reasons for changes in romantic relationships following weight loss are varied and will be discussed in this episode, along with how dating after weight loss is different than dating prior to weight loss. Be sure to listen to the anecdote about a post-op who decided to have a minimum of 50 first dates! Let’s get going!
