Yahoo Lifestyle 'Love Is Blind' Star Hannah Jiles Opens Up About 45-Pound Weight Loss: 'You Feel Like You Have To Be Perfect'
Love Is Blind season 7 just dropped, and people are naturally doing everything they can to learn all about the latest contestants. One early favorite is 27-year-old Hannah Jiles, a medical sales associate who opens up on the show about her weight loss journey.
After three years of being single, Hannah finds herself choosing between two guys—Leo and Nick D.—but most importantly, she wants to choose herself. Here’s what Hannah has shared about her weight loss and how it impacts her today.
Hannah from ‘Love Is Blind’ lost 45 pounds in 2022.
While chatting with Leo in the season's third episode, Hannah opens up about how she gained weight during the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually lost it in 2022.
“One thing that hurts my feelings is weight,” she says. “I think it was just instilled in me as a kid or something.” Hannah adds that she “got through the fat stage” in middle school, noting that her mom locked their cabinet so she couldn’t snack.
After gaining weight during the pandemic, Hannah shares that she “lost, like, 45 pounds.”
Weight can be a ‘sensitive’ topic for her.
During that same conversation with Leo, Hannah says that weight can still be a “sensitive” topic for her. “I’ve always been very healthy,” she says, adding that she’s “active.”
In the premiere, Hannah tells Nick D. that she’s worried he only likes her “because you think I’m hot.” She also called him out for saying that he was excited to see her in swimsuits.
“Why? What if my body’s not good?” she adds.
She wants to be unapologetically herself in a relationship.
While talking to Nick, Hannah makes it clear that she just wants to be herself going forward. “I’ve got a lot of depth to me. I’m funny and I know a lot of stuff,” she says. But Hannah continues that men always just think that she’s “hot” or “just a pretty thing to look at.”
“As a woman, you feel like you have to be perfect all the time,” she says. “Like, I have to put my makeup on. I have to be skinny as possible. My hair has to look good. Like, I have to be this perfect person. I don’t wanna be that. I just wanna be, like unapologetically me.”
