Is Obesity Affecting Your Love Life?

When the one you love gains weight, does this affect your romantic desires? Men often complain when women gain weight, yet women often lose weight at a faster rate than men, while men tend to remain comfortable with a permanent pot belly. How has your weight gain affected your love life? Are you having difficulty attracting someone you admire because of obesity? Is your loved one seeming to stray away from you because you have put on extra pounds. Or are you finding yourself less romantically inclined because your mate has gotten larger than you would like? Are you perhaps eating out of an unfulfilled emotional need for love? Do women tend to gain more when they are not in a relationship? Do men feel less pressure to lose weight and maintain a healthy body? How do we encourage each other to strive to look and feel our best?
