Ep. 117: What if you Gain Weight and your Partner no Longer Finds you Attractive?

So you’ve decided to go the body acceptance route, and you’re excited to finally experience freedom within your own body. You’ve accepted the reality that you might gain some weight in the process, and you feel that it’s worth it because of everything you’ll also gain. 

 

But suddenly, it hits you--what if your partner isn’t on board? What if you gain weight and your partner no longer finds you attractive? What if your relationship is going to end when you finally give your body the freedom to be whatever size it’s meant to be? 

 

These are all valid concerns, which is why this is one of the longer Body Acceptance episodes. There’s a lot that factors into weight gain in a relationship, what it means, and how it can impact the relationship. 

 

So let’s dive deep this week as we discuss what to do if you fear your partner will no longer find you attractive after weight gain, and what to do if that actually happens.
