So me and my girlfriend are long distance right now, and when she left, I decided to really start taking this seriously. I wasn't terribly overweight before she left, just barely into overweight BMI.
I didn't see her for 3 months, and lost maybe 10-15 pounds during that period and did weight training consistently 4-5 days a week, and put on a bit of muscle as well.
When I saw her after the time apart, her reaction to my body was "you got skinnier! If you keep losing weight you're not gonna be comfy!"
I actually think this was really good to hear. My thoughts in my head were that she was going to be more attracted to me, and that she'd like it. It's not that she doesn't like it, but she is pretty much indifferent about it.
I'm glad that is the case, and that she loves me and even prefers me to have a bit of fat, so that my hip bones and such don't dig into her when sleeping or cuddling.
The only bad part is that I took this as free reign to eat like shit ever since I saw her. It's been 2 weeks of eating at what I assume is a big surplus, and very unhealthy foods. Beforehand I was eating extremely clean and at a solid deficit.
I want to look good and be healthy/strong primarily for myself, but it is a bit harder when I know she won't be less attracted to me if I gain a couple pounds. Now I'm kind of worried about getting too thin.
I think what I am going to do is eat at a deficit for the next couple week's to try and undo the bullshit I did to my body recently, and then eat at maintenance and just focus on lifting. I haven't been training too long so body recomp is still an option for me.
Sorry if this was jumbled, but just wanted to hear your guys opinions and experience with this.
Thanks!
