Socially there is . Scientifically there isn ' t . <| sep |> I ' ve only had a hug from my wife this morning and my daughter last night . I ' m not hugging my co workers unless they are really in a bad way . <| sep |> I have a picture my partners Auntie took of us at a family get together . Omg it is disgusting . . . like so so bad . I don ' t even remember what angle it is . I only know it is baaaaaaaaaaad . My partner hates the picture with a passion . I think it was maybe taken a year ago we only started losing weight together 5 months ago . It is just fucking terrible and I am certain I put on more weight after the picture was taken shudder . On a happier note I also have a picture of me and my partner from about 4 years ago and we look amazing ! Still overweight but so much happier and healthier . It ' s a friendly reminder to me that I can be at a better weight and feel good about how I look . I am aiming to get back to that . Just keep swimming ! You will get there ! !
