Hi there!
I think i may have a tid-bit for you that might help if you don't mind a little reading.
I want to look at this situation, analyze it, and create a possibilities list. For starters you say that your loss of weight has become unappealing, and that to me sounds like you have excess/flabby skin left over from the stretching during your weight gain. There are many treatments that can help in small increments
Explanation Of Loose Skin Now aside from your appearance you also want a relationship! That is one of the most basic human emotions: the longing to have a companion. In fact, there are TONS of people in the same boat as you. (here is where that list i was talking about comes into play).
Here is what i think you should do:
- Go out and have fun. Don't care what people think about you, and just enjoy yourself. Chances are you might find someone who can look at you for you instead of your insecurities.
- (As mentioned in another answer) Try online dating! Online dating sites are a nesting whole for the non go-getters. I'm not trying to be mean here, but it sounds like you are pretty insecure about the way you look and may want to try and emotionally connect with someone before you physically connect with someone!
- Remember there ARE people who will accept you for you no matter what you look like. This being said, a lot of people who are trying to find love are often in the wrong place at the wrong time. You should travel, or even move if you're at an impasse with the area you live in. I used to live in the country-side bible belt where being different was not okay. So? I MOVED!
