getting thinner but not losing weight - HEALTHIES
In your exact context, the real underlying implication is probably more don't go too fast for your dating partner rather than ...for yourself, but that's just a quirk of the exact context. Normally, getting ahead of yourself doesn't imply being precipitate / over-hasty from the perspective of others. So, I like getting/ to get to the station in plenty of time.
Understanding the Context
In grammar in use book, the bold part has been considered as correct answer. I am wondering why. What is more, would you show me a more detailed explanation or another synonym for the following?-- I have some problem with especially using the preposition in along with plenty of time. The phrasing of "getting worse and worse" could mean the exact same thing, but is a bit more vague in the time frame of the worsening - it could be a slow decline over the course of months or years, a day-by-day progression, or something even faster.
