You love your gal -- she knows it. You have shared interests and enough differences to keep it spicy. But sometimes you may have concerns, and find ways to address them without hurting her feelings leaves you nervous and undecided. This is especially true when the concern you have is about her weight. Your sweetheart knows she's overweight; women always do. But how do you convince her that your interest is for her health and self-esteem without causing hurt feelings?
Start by making it about you instead. Tell her you've been feeling a bit sluggish and out of shape. A little whining about your lack of motivation will go a long way when you suggest that you begin a healthy lifestyle program together. It will ramp up her nurture nature into the red zone and she'll want to help you achieve your goals.
Pick an activity that appeals to her. Remember that this was your idea, and making her happy if she wants to indulge in a power yoga class or booty boot camp is key. Once you've settled on a fitness regime, suggest buying workout journals where you can track your body measurements, weight loss and hours spent in your chosen activity.
Togetherness doesn't have to stop at the gym. A healthy, active sex life not only burns calories, it fosters closeness and ease. When she wants to turn the lights off, tell her to leave them on. Encourage her to believe that her new passion for fitness is showing in all the right places.
Take over the shopping and cooking while she's wrapping her brain around your new enthusiasm for this lifestyle change. Healthy does not equal boring, and buying foods that are appealing while conducive to weight loss has never been easier. Indulge in exotic fruits and grain-laden, market-style breads. Show her that eating lean meats and fresh foods are doubling your chances for success at weight loss, and she'll get caught up in your enthusiasm.
Bring out the big guns and introduce a reward system. Tell her you've been wanting to take a trip for awhile, but haven't felt confident about your energy level or body image. Suggest a timeline. Set achievable, enjoyable goals for weight or inches lost and a date to work toward. Six months is a bearable and reasonable amount of time for your campaign to help your girlfriend lose weight to achieve results. Both of you can go out and buy some swimwear in the sizes you want to be and leave them hanging around as enticement.
