The prospect of new romance inspires almost everyone to make something "better" of themselves according to cultural convention - to smarten up, to keep fit, see the sunlight even when it isn't there - to look and feel good.

One has to progress from there, though. Apply self-control toward sustaining the new behaviour and don't revert. It may not happen over night but it can be done if someone has the will.

Just my views.
