Is your boyfriend battling the bulge? Do you feel the need to help them? It is difficult in a relationship when one partner intends to change the way they look. The changes may make the relationship hard or easy.
The best way to approach a partner's journey of change is to be there for them and support them through the difficult problem. Healthy weight loss is a journey that begins with one step and a girlfriend should offer all the support they can for their boyfriends.
Below are 10 creative ways to tell your boyfriend to lose weight.
1. Use a Passive Approach
Social networking sites have provided tools to enable loved ones to share information. Posting weight loss articles and the advantages of losing weight articles on your facebook page will result in filling up his news feed. This will be able to provide a hint to him to start engaging in a weight loss program.2. Clean the Kitchen and Eliminate Junk Food
French fries, hamburgers and chicken wings are some of the foods which contain high content of fats and oils. Consumption of these foods over a period of time leads to obesity. To avoid that, you need to clean the kitchen and eliminate all junk food.Purchase some fruits and vegetables, take a bowl and place some fruits in it and place the bowl on the kitchen table. This will provide an easy to grab and eat snack rather than ordering for junk food.
3. Make it a Gift of Exercise
Is his birthday approaching or a special day for him is coming soon? The best gift to give him so as to encourage him to lose weight is by signing him up for a gym membership. In the package you can also request for additional packages like massage.If your boyfriend seems offended by the gift, act apologetic and just tell him politely "I thought it was the best gift for a guy who has everything".
4. Be Active Together
Do you spend time with your boyfriend ordering in and watching TV shows and movies? Then you need to change this behavior in order to encourage him to lose weight. Start by requesting you take a 30 minute walk around the park or cycling or a hike through the nearest woods.During weekends you can suggest sports like tennis, bowling or even mini golf with friends.
5. Be Honest with Him
Honesty is the best policy although not everyone appreciates it. As the girlfriend, you can try to be honest by telling him "Honey, I love you the way you are but of late you have gained some weight and I am concerned about your health. We can start by looking at ways of getting back to your old self".Although the truth hurts, he will appreciate it coming from you in a loving and concerned approach.
