How does a person who is morbidly obese make peace with being single till they lose the weight?

I am a morbidly obese woman. I accept that the average man would never accept me being this big. I don’t accept me being this big. After years of being in denial about being a compulsive over-eater I am finally seeking help in that area. Over the years I have tried many diets and programs only to lose weight and gain it back plus more. I finally accepted that the amount of weight I need to lose can’t be done through diet and exercise alone or any diet program so I have begun the process to have gastric bypass. Even with the surgery it will take 1 – 2 years to reach my goal weight. Before anyone says anything I’m NOT looking to surgery as the magic cure, I know there is much that will be required of me for the rest of my life and have begun making the necessary life style changes. Here’s my question with all that being said, how do I make peace with being single till then?

    Answer the question — What do I want out of life? Then if you are doing everything possible to move towards that goal you should achieve it. It is called living with postponed gratification, something our society does not promote very much — hence how do I live without it is intolerable.

    Best of luck.

    Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.
    There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there’s also the Jojo-effect.
    The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.
    Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That’s an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn’t that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?

    - Healthy life every day!
    Take care,

    :-)
