Men told me I wasn’t ‘their type’ – I lost 150 lbs and had a glow-up, now they insist they ‘always liked me’
A FITNESS coach who once dealt with rejection from men says that everything changed after she lost 150 pounds.
Guys who told Josie Varela that she wasn’t “their type” suddenly came crawling back when she became a regular gym-goer.
Josie (@josiesjourney_), a fitness coach, shared her weight loss journey in a video.
She said that after she lost 150 pounds, men suddenly treated her better.
“You’re not my type,” one used to say to her. “You’re a great friend though.”
Josie compiled videos of herself putting in hard work, lifting and squatting heavy weights.
After her transformation, she revealed that the same men had a sudden change of heart.
“Josie? You look great, we should catch up!” they said. “I’ve always liked you.”
Photos of her lounging by the pool prompted men to give it a second shot: “Can we try again?” they pleaded.
Josie, however, was not convinced: “If they didn’t want you at your worst…” she said.
“Thanks but no thanks.”
People said she should’ve given him a taste of his own medicine: “You should’ve told him he’s a great friend but not your type,” joked a commenter.
Others praised her for her newfound confidence: “Queen knows her worth,” said another.
“He doesn’t deserve you at your best,” said a third.
