7 Dating Tips for Plus-Size Women
Whether you’re dating online or only in real life, there are some important aspects to dating that plus-size women should remember.
I spent years thinking I was fat when I really wasn’t. It was only after I’d had my kids and didn’t lose the weight when I could look back at photos of myself before and realize that I was much slimmer than I ever realized.
Of course, that realization made me struggle even more with the extra weight for a while. I felt like if I’d been that slender once, I should be able to be that slender again. It shouldn’t be that hard. But it was.
It took a long time for me to accept that I am now a plus-size woman and that may never change. It took even longer for me to really feel comfortable dating as a plus-size woman.
But now that I have, here are a few tips I’ve picked up along the way. The best part is these tips apply whether you’re dating online or off.
Ignore your inner bitch
You know that little voice in your head? The one that says you’re too fat, too ugly, not good enough, etc.? Ignore her. Seriously, tell that bitchy voice to shut up and leave you alone.
