I know! After losing 67kg I was half expecting a romantic comedy montage-style life of never-ending meet cutes with dates scheduled back-to-back all weekend long — but nope. Granted I was living in Los Angeles at the time so the dating scene is very different to Australiawhich weight part of the reason I moved there in the first place. When I lived in Hollywood, dating would literally chase me down the street just to speak with me.
