Hi Dr. Cupid,

I haven’t had a boyfriend in three years. I have gained a lot of weight since my last relationship, and I am not happy with the way I look.

I recently met a guy we want to take things to the next level by becoming intimate. I really want to, but I am very insecure about my body at the moment. I keep putting it off because I am afraid of letting him see me naked. How do I get over my fears?

Hey Daisy

Always be nice to food! Don’t just eat, as if nobody will ever see you naked. Or like some people, whom I won’t mention lest they go uprooting the railway line! They eat and only stop when their jaws get tired! But, anyway, if he has shown interest in ‘eating’ you, your weight is a none issue. To some men, weight is nothing but a number. You could be bulky and built like a KDF battle tank, they don’t care.
