Re: Weight/dating/sexuality

OP

Yeah, I'm definitely uncomfortable with it, too. I'm not really that overweight at this point, but I've been told I "give off vibes" that I'm not interested which I'm fine with, and hopefully if I get to where I want to be, I can keep those vibes. I'm just really not looking forward to the constant harrassment from family about why I don't have a boyfriend, and since I've been telling them that I would get one once I lost the weight I wanted to, I know that it'll be nonstop once I get there.

And like I said in another comment, I'm having a hard time finding a reason to lose weight other than it's just "better" to be thinner because that's what I've been told my whole life.

It's just a confusing, frustrating situation.

OK, me again, but if you're not really overweight, why not stop trying to lose more weight? If you're comfortable physically just maintain. That can be hard enough for many people. :) It's just a thought.

Is there anyone in your family you can talk to without having it twisted around or used against you as a weapon? You might find one ally even if you don't come out to them, just saying you're not interested, don't feel you need someone else to be happy right now...or maybe ever.

It might ease your mind a little to test the waters. It went better than I expected talking to my mom about it, and she understood completely even though the terms aren't really there for her.

OP

I am a little, but not that much. Physically it doesn't really bother me...my doctor's said I'm not overweight enough for it to matter healthwise, I have no problems doing physical things, etc. It's just a mental thing that I want to lose weight, because smaller is better, or at least that's what's been drilled into my head my whole life. I guess maybe I need to do some soul searching and figure out if losing weight is something I really want, or if it's yet another thing I want because I feel like it's what other people expect of me.

Not really. I kind of sort of talked to my mom about it a few years ago (though I never used the word asexual, just said that I don't like sex and am not interested in it or relationships) and she was pretty dismissive and said I obviously hadn't had sex with anyone who was any good at it and once I did I would agree with her that it was the greatest thing in the world. My dad I'm not really comfortable discussing sexual things with, though I think he'd probably be more understanding since he's more open minded in general than she is. Maybe someday.
