Hey I've been going out with my girlfriend for the past year. We're both 17 and I can share anything together and there's no secrets. Our relationship is great and we were meant for each other.
I encountered a problem however; I see that she's been putting on a little weight lately and would like to know a way to confront her about this without offending her. I know if I approached this incorrectly, she'll be very upset and there's no way I can talk my way out of it.
Help is appreciated thanks
:)
Well what is it? a few pounds? or like alot...to where it is affecting her health? if its a few pounds just get over it, cuz itll only bug her if you do, and girls put on and lose weight all the time....due to period (well bloating) stress, etc etc. Now if its a lot the just be like such and such, You always want me to be honest with you, and im starting to become a bit worried about your weight...i care about you alot and the last thing i want to do is for this to affect your health. If your really unsure, just happen to bring up that your joining a gym, and thought it would be cool for the two of you to join together
Just emphasize on her overall health and your concern for it. I have a tendency to gain a few and have difficulty loosing. Therefore, I keep my weight controlled. I did find while in a relationship I loved to cook great meals & indulge, he just brought the health concerns up and we worked out or walked together. We developed healthier eating habits together (not that mine were bad) b/c I have a metabolism of a snail! And love Hagen Daas Ice cream---yes, the whole pint!
yeah it's just a couple of pounds but I just noticed her eating stuff that would put weight on her and drinking diet coke, which i think is still unhealthy for you, when I'm constantly drinking water. I try to get her to drink water but she sticks witht he soda.
Thanks for the help
In real life, you should be able to ask the question or make the querie, but apparantly people can't handle the TRUTH. So it's best you NEVER mention the weight thing...even if it is the truth.....just sugar coat it...like real life...don't want you getting in trouble by slaying someone's self esteem.:rolleyes:
Just be sure that the two of you don't settle down into a sedientary lifestyle (like staying in to watch TV or DVDs all the time).
You're also old enough to learn (if you don't already know) how to cook healthily.
Lead by example
Yup couldnt agree more. Well I'm an athlete so I definitely know about eating healthy. Thanks for the help
