My boyfreind is upset with me because i called him fat. He needs to lose bit wei!


Question: My boyfreind is upset with me because i called him fat!. He needs to lose bit weight!?
My boyfriend has put on quite a bit of weight!. He has huge double chin, and has grown at the sides quite a bit!.

He doesnt do any sort of exercise!. He just sits with his laptop all day!.
We have few exercise machines at home, but he never uses it!.

Every I mention to him to get on the machine he'll just ignore me totally, and then would say "if you dont like me, then leave me" (its so annoying!.)

He isnt handsome anymore!. He even smokes too, and doesnt quit!. We had many arguments over it, so i given up on his smoking!.
I really do try my best for him to have a healthy lifestyle!.

He always argues back etc, when i only mention it for his own good!. sometimes really makes me angry!.
Alot of people have mentioned he has put on loads of weight!. but he just doesnt care!.

we have sex 4 times week, but still it isnt enough!. i really would like him to get exercising!.
when i mention exercise - even situps his face cringes!
what can i do!?
dont say to leave himWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If you keep having a go at him for his weight or telling him to excersie then he will never agree!. You have now started a battle of wills and it is a case of finding out how will crack first, it does not sound like it is him!.
If you live together and you prepare the meals for him, then you are in control of the food part, start to slowly reduce the ammount of food you put on his plate (very gradually) he will not notice!. If he does not see you prepare try to use more low fat ingredients!.
Lay off the excersie nag for a bit, and in a week or so on a nice sunny day suggest going for a walk in the fields or along a river for a picnic!.
It sounds like you are happy with him and still have an active sex life, however if you keep letting this bother you it could affect your health, learn to comprise with each other (or trick him into things he does and eats) and work things out, otherwise I'm affraid to say you may have to think about finding someone else!. I am sure when you first met him you did not just like/love him for his looks, remember what else you liked and focus on that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My boyfriend is big too!. I don't call him fat thought!. It would probably actually discourage him!. I just give him hints!. Maybe ask your boyfriend if he wants to go on a romantic little walk in the evening!. =P He won't see it as exercise!. He'll enjoy it and could even want to go walking again!. Hope I helped!. =]

Maybe he is right, if you don't like it, leave!. People have to loose weight for themselves, not for others, or it won't work!. YOU have to face reality! If you want a trophy boyfriend, go and find one!. Stop attacking him and controlling him - you may well find him dumping you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

What would you think if he called you fat!? I'm guessing you wouldn't be happy, even if you were overweight!. You can't help him if he doesn't want to help himself!. If you don't find him handsome anymore then is there much point in you being in the relationship!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is probably a reason why he's put on weight and not moving much!. Have asked how he's feeling!? Maybe he's depressed or worrying about something!. And calling him fat is not going to help him at all!.

Ask what's on his mind and you might get a bit further!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Speaking as a guy, if you have sex four times a week then it's no wonder he doesn't feel any imperative to change!. Buy some sort of sexual assistant, leave the lazy portly guy alone!.!.!.and see the weight come off (while he doesn't)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

convince him to take an exercise!.!.!. not because slims look better but because we need it to have a healthy body and avoid any symptoms!.
anyway, its his risk though, not yours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Mmm!. He's fat and dull and you are whiny and shallow!. Not really a match made in heaven!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He has a point!. If you don't like him the way he is, leave him!. He won't change unless he wants to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

How would you feel if he called you a fat cow !?Www@Answer-Health@Com

He probably feels as though you're attacking him!. He wants to know that you love him regardless of his physical appearance!. You've got to be gentle and not pushy, otherwise it'll have the opposite effect that you're going for!. Don't ever tell him that you don't find him handsome because that will really hurt him!.

Sit him down and explain to him that he's very important to you and you're concerned for his health!. He may still be really stubborn about it because that's just how some people are!. Ask him what kind of sports he'd be interested in playing!. Maybe the two of you could do that!? It could be a lot of fun!.

In any case, if you don't love him for the person he is I don't know why you're with him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, who are you to be calling someone else fat!?
Like the first answerer said, how would you feel if he called YOU fat!?
It sounds to me like you are unhappy with him as a person!.
If you loved him you wouldn't pick on his imperfections!.
Don't ruin his self-image or self-esteem anymore by being with him and pointing out his flaws!.
Move on with someone who fits you're definition of a good boyfriend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK !.!.!.!. sex is a VERY good form of exercise!.
what you could try to do is havering sex more often and for longer periods of time!. as its good fun exercise!.

another thing you could do is bribe him to exercise!.!.!. one thing that mite work is offer exercise naked if he works out for 20min!. i know that would get me to work out!.

as for the smoking
buy him some nicotine patches and explain to him that it makes him unattractive
!.!.!.!. again back to sex
say its sex or cigars it will work!.!.!. and if it does not !.!.!. it was not worth it

i hope that i could help a little ~luke~Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well this seems simple to me!. Love him for who he is and/or has become or move on!. My husband always mentions something about my weight after i mention it saying something like I'll never fix it, but I don't mind!. He loves me for who I am regardless!. If you can't deal with flaws he doesn't want to fix then it's time to find someone who shares your health values!. No one said you were fat, but how would you feel if he called you fat!? I'd leave my husband no questions asked if he called me fat even though in my case it is true!. There are polite ways to say things, so learn some tact!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you shouldn't 'leave' him but take a little break!? Like go stay at a friends house for a while or something, and tell him that you're tired of him being so lazy and that you need a break from him!. I think that if he really cares about you, it'll do the trick!. Good luck!

P!.S!. that would be my nightmare, a boyfriend who's too lazy to go for a walk!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Guys HATE being nagged especially by their girlfriends!. He's probably feeling like you are treatin him like you are his mom and it's probably discouraging him from exercising!. I think you just need to back off and stop nagging!. Maybe in like a month after not nagging him ask him again if he would like to exercise with you!. Don't call him fat, just say you think it would be fun for the both of you to spend that time together and you just want him to be healthy!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Getting toned is a good feeling, it makes your clothes fit better and you feel great, my boyfriend and I started this and he lost his beer gut in no time at all!.

I used to have the fattest stomach clothes did not fit and the bulge over jeans, not a good look!.

All you can do if you don't want to give him an ultimatum of get healthy or we're through, is to try to subtly encourage it!. The refusing to quit smoking is just him being obstinate, but he might be feeling sensitive when you mention his weight!. Even if you do it in a gentle way, it can be a very touchy subject!.

Don't keep junk food in the house, and keep healthy stuff like fruit constantly available!.
Rather than bringing up his own weight/health issues in conversation, you could try to talk about other people you know!. You could try talking about how great or how terrible some of your mutual friends are looking/feeling, and what the ones who are good have done to get that way!. Try to bring it up as part of an ongoing conversation, rather than mentioning it out of the blue!. Beyond that, he's going to have to want to change himself!.

I PERSONALLY would keep bugging him about the smoking, because that is vile, but that's just me!.!.!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
