Should weight be a reason not to date someone or marry someone?

I have a husband who is a 4x size. I range from 2x to 3x depending on the design and brand. Some brands run small. We are going to go to Planet fitness to get in shape . I just bought some workout clothes at JC Penney when they had a huge sale this week. We hit at the right time.
I dropped a whole pant size before I met him so I am more motivated than him I suspect. I know what you mean Morgan, some peoples profiles would state right up front that they didn't want fat girls because they couldn't push away from the dinner table or keep fit. I had a thyroid condition in my early 20's , then had 4 children plus abused so throw in some comfort food and there ya go! 230 pounds back then! I used to wear my dads hunting pants- 27 in waist and I remember being a size 11 once.
My husband said I had tooooo many clothes and asked me to donate alot. I replied with ,"But I am losing weight and some of those clothes I may be able to wear soon"....ok, he knows I have a touch of a hoarding problem before we met . I got rid of alot when I moved. Too worn out to move it. !!
Soooooooo..I obliged. Good thing too! He needed room for his new wardrobe.
And a beautiful heart is overlooked by most people. I didn't share mine too often because people don't understand it. I think Chris is really starting to see it and said "AWWWWW..." and once in a while comments on it and how sweet of a person I am.
I am not used to hearing compliments but I get them from him all the time. He had a soft heart too. He surprises me with random things he says and I say ," I am like that too!"
G-D has since set me free from all that nonessential nonsense. There are many good translations and the KJV is among them.
