What to say to your partner and when to say it can make a big difference on how things turn out. We are going to look into a few scenarios that couples can run into.
For those of us who are in a relationship, we are going to review how to work with your partner in regards to weight loss. It is tough on a relationship when either one person gains a lot of weight or loses a lot of weight. If this happens to just one, the other can feel left out and concerned. If you are in a relationship and you notice that you have been gaining a bit more weight than you like, have a talk with your partner. Let them know that you are overweight and discuss with them that you want to lose it. Be sure to be sincere and ask them for help. Think of this conversation as a true “heart-to-heart” talk. It is important to get their approval and acceptance so that they can support you with your efforts. If for some reason they don’t want to help, it is best to discuss it before hand so that you can come up with a plan to make it happen for yourself.
Now what happens if you notice your partner gaining weight? Should you discuss their diet with them? This is a touchy subject and depends on what your partner is like. There are so many different factors involved that cause people to gain weight, so maybe you could look into those before discussing this subject with them. Look at all of the external factors affecting your partner, possibly stress is adding up and they are overwhelmed. Maybe instead of having a discussion about their weight, talk with them about the external factors that are causing the weight gain. This approach can make it easy on the both of you. There is a kind and gentle way to approach this subject and still get the desired outcome.
If both of you are overweight, then discuss it, come up with your plan together, and make it happen together. This is on of the best aspects of a relationship, the aspect where you support each other and accomplish what you both want, together.
