7 Ways Your Relationship Changes After Extreme Weight Loss

Reasons, why a person might strive to lose weight vary and sometimes weight loss, can be extreme. An obese person might lose weight because their doctor ordered it, for themselves, or for a loved one. No matter the reason, losing weight can change your life.

Benefits of extreme weight loss

Losing weight offers many benefits, such as improved sleep, clearer thinking, and a more positive attitude. Studies have shown that a high BMI correlates strongly with depression, and that overweight people are more prone to diseases like dementia and inflammation, and Dr. Lenore Launer of the National Institute on Aging, said, “belly fat is its own disease-generating organism.”

Finally, while hormones may be to blame for obesity in the first place, overcoming those hormone imbalances can result in improved levels of the good hormones responsible for healthy libidos, like testosterone.

Okay, so (most) everything is improved after weight loss. Great. But how does that change our personal lives and, more specifically, our love lives?
