Is it even worth looking until I've lost weight and improved my health

[BluebellPalooza]

Long story short. I'm 37, two kids who are 10 and 12
After having kids I've put on a lot of weight, got slight prolapse (not visible but pushing into vagina) I'm a size 22 and separated from my husband, the only relationship I've ever been in, 2 years ago. I was a size 10 when we met.

I'm starting to think about wanting to date, or even just experience other people casually, but I know I have to work on my self before hand. However it's a bit of a lose lose, in that I feel crap about myself so don't make the effort it just seems like I've so far to go. But I know I'm unlikely to get any kind of interest in my current position. Any advice from any one?

I am 77 and happily married. 25 years ago, I was divorced and looking to meet someone. Size was not an issue for me, I wanted to meet a lady who I liked and who had a great personality.
I met her, we have been married for 20 years.
On our first date we sat in an Indian restaurant and talked for two hours after our meal. Talking and agreeing on many topics mattered far more than her size.
Be happy.

Thank you

If someone likes you, they will like you no matter what size you are.

However saying that if you wanted something more casual a bit of weight loss might open you to more possibilities?

I'd say you need to work on your self esteem more than your weight.
Trust me, we're not all that shallow. Get yourself out there. If you're a good honest person, you're off to a good start.

go for it Bluebell. you might find someone in exactly the same situation

I’m also a larger lady and went on the hunt for a fwb this year. I was honest about my size on dating apps. Guys for whom it was a deal breaker left me alone. There were plenty for whom it wasn’t and the guy I have a regular understanding with adores my body.

Do it! Life is too short for regrets!
