Today, she told me she isn’t losing weight for herself, she’s doing it because in 27 years no man has ever taken interest in her the way she is. MMT

Honey, if they're not showing interest in you it's because they're blind morons. You don't need to change yourself for anyone. You're perfect just the way you are (and yes I know it's cliched but it's true). One day you're gonna find a man that loves you for you. You just need to keep an open mind and keep looking.

thats the reason i started losing weight too. but 50 pounds and many years later i've discovered that it truly was for me; that what started out as a negative taught me a lot about the value of health and how strong i truly was. even a tough and frustrating situation can turn into a positive with time.

@livelovepray Some people can't help being overweight. But most can. And they have a choice, knowing that most of us prefer a companion who isn't overweight and who seems to take care of him/herself. I think you do people a disservice when you discourage them from taking control of their destiny. It's not as if she was trying to become anorexic or something.

If she loses weight to get a man she's actually losing weight for herself. As a man I'll say we overlook extra pounds when we really click with a girl. There's probably another reason she's alone. She needs to learn happiness and self confidence and maybe the weight loss helps.
