I (32F) was overweight and recently lost over 200 lbs. I’m currently unwilling to be intimate with anyone and have difficulty knowing what to say to turn guys down when I’m out in public. I haven’t had to deal with this issue for the past 14 years since I started gaining weight at 18. Back then, I had just started what would be a 9-year relationship, so I haven’t dated or been intimate with anyone since that person. It’s been 7 years since then. Unfortunately, from outward appearances, I’m somewhat attractive, and have been getting hit on more frequently, and I get really self-conscious turning guys down and wish I could be honest with them. Does anyone have a similar experience with this type of thing or have any advice on what to say or how to make this easier?
