Can we talk about dating whilst trying to lose?!

I’m finding this so hard at the minute.

I’m seeing someone new and I don’t want to admit that I’m trying to lose weight because he’ll think I’m not confident in my body and as soon as you admit something like that, the other person notices it a lot more!

I’m struggling with calories from alcohol at the moment so I know the solution is to just not drink, which would be fine, I guess. But I feel with dating a few drinks are somewhat necessary to loosen up a bit when you’re still getting to know someone.

I don’t want to be seen as uptight for not drinking or not having a dessert, nor do I want him to think I have an eating disorder by being overly careful about my food.

Also it’s kind of that ‘cool girl’ thing of having to pretend you can eat junk food and drink beer and not gain (if I see another supermodel/actress/singer go on about her love for burgers I will scream!)

Anyone else struggle with this?

Edit: I did search for this before I posted and couldn’t find anything but it seems like I didn’t look hard enough because I’ve now seen a couple of posts sorry! Mods feel free to delete the repeat!

Edit 2: Thank you for the support and advice!!!
