I heard that people gain an average of 20 pounds when they start a new relationship. People get comfortable and don't feel the need to impress anyone because they already got what they wanted, so they eat away.

Do your best to lose weight now, because chances are if you guys go out you'll gain even more weight. Just keep exercising and eating better.

Obviously she picked you because you fulfill the rest of her criteria & the fact that you're a little overweight isn't a dealbreaker. I mean, come on - "I could lose 20 pounds." That describes about 1/2 of us here in the western world. It's not like you're a disgusting monster.

Regardless, of course you should try and lose the weight. Pick something physical that you enjoy doing, or at least won't hate doing. Running, or lifting weights, or hiking, or swimming, or some sport that you enjoy, you pick - you don't necessarily have to start going to the gym and *** working out *** 4 times a week to lose 20 pounds, although it is an option. Just step up your physical activity and make sure it's something you don't hate, or you won't stick with it.

Stop drinking calories, stick to unsweetened tea, coffee, water, and so on, even diet drinks although those aren't great either, just think of non-diet soda / juice as a treat - like dessert. Make en effort to snack on healthy shit like fruit or vegetables instead of chips or sweets, make more of your own food instead of buying premade lunches or going out. None of that is very hard to pull off, it won't leave you hungry, and if you do it for about a week + exercising slightly more I promise you you'll feel better as well. It's easy. It's sustainable.

You do not have to go full-on /fit/ mode to lose 20 lbs.
