I feel like I already know what I need to do, but I am still not sure it's what I want to do. I want to start dating again. In April it will be two years since I broke up with my ex. I thought we were headed for forever. (Apparently not.) I haven't really had the desire to date since the breakup. It just felt wrong somehow. I just haven't been ready. Now I feel ready.
However, I also feel like I have a lot to work on personally before diving into another serious relationship. First and foremost, my health and weight. While I know it isn't impossible, I just don't feel like anyone can really love me how I am right now. I also know that as soon as I meet someone I like, I'll spend less time working out and eating healthy, and more time cuddling while watching movies and eating takeout.
So do I really want to say that I'm not interested in dating or a relationship until I reach my ideal weight or goal of wearing a certain clothing size? It's been an eye-opening but lonely stretch of time since the break-up. I'm ready to spend time with someone else, but I think my health needs to come first. Who am I kidding? I know it needs to come first. And when I feel my best and am bursting with self confidence, I can be a better girlfriend.
So I guess this is where I'm officially going to say I'm not dating. I'll give it a few months and after some hard work, I may have a change of heart. But as of right now, I'm putting all of my energy and effort into myself.
