Don't: Become a drill sergeant.
Encouraging her to exercise or drink more water is
one thing. Dragging her to the gym when she says
she's coming down with the flu or criticizing the
number of pushups she can do is something else
entirely.
Do: Preoccupy her during prime snacking hours
with sex.
Here's one that'll make you happy. Instead of sitting
around munching on snack food at night, put the
moves on her. Sex is physical activity. It occupies
the senses and takes away the craving for food.
Spending lots of time naked is a great motivator for
weight loss. The fact that you want her reminds her
that she's wonderful just the way she is.
Don't: Turn her off by complaining about food or
lack of it.
So you would have rather she cooked a lasagna
than offered up that chicken breast and string beans
for dinner. When she went to the grocery store, she
got Snackwells instead of Chips Ahoy, and you're
craving a fix. Just zip it and get naked. It's better for
you, too.
Do: Encourage her to have a treat now and then.
One of the worst mistakes people make with weight
loss is committing to a strict diet routine for a set
amount of time and then indulging in an overload of
old habits. To keep off the weight, you have to make
permanent lifestyle changes. It's better to generally
eat healthy and treat yourself to a favorite "bad for
you" snack now and then. Good food is one of the
joys in life. Let her know it's okay to indulge in a treat
once in a while, and that you'll enjoy your own much
more if she has a few bites.
Don't: Bring home a tub of her favorite ice cream.
If she's a mint chocolate chip addict, suggest that
you go out for a cone now and then. Don't have a vat
of the stuff sitting around the house waiting for her
PMS to strike.
Do: Notice her efforts
This can be difficult if she didn't have much weight
to lose anyway. But try. When she's successful in
her weight loss goals, she wants to know others can
see the difference. If she comes skipping into the
bedroom in a pair of jeans she claims fit much better
than before, compliment her on her success. Maybe
you can't see the difference, but if she's feeling a
change in the way they feel around her waistline,
she's got cause to celebrate.
Don't: Express obvious relief.
Telling her she now looks incredible in that shirt that
exposes a bit of belly is one thing. Admitting how
glad you are that the roll that used to peek out from
under it isn't there anymore is another.
Do: Reward her efforts.
Weight loss can mean sacrifice. She's not eating her
favorite things. She's exercising when she'd rather
be reading or watching her favorite TV show. Give
her some encouragement and a bit of a pick-me-up.
Buy her that new book, DVD or CD she wanted. Take
her to that museum she's been dying to go to, even
if art history isn't entirely your thing. Suggest that
she go shopping for some new clothes to show off
her success.
Don't: Buy her new clothes yourself, unless you can
guarantee you won't get wrong size.
If you buy that sexy lingerie and it's too small, she's
going to feel bad. Take her shopping and encourage
her to try things on for you instead. Pick something
out together. I know it sounds awful, but it won't kill
you. Besides, if you suffer through an hour in the
women's sales racks, she owes you.
Do: Discourage obsessive behavior.
This is probably the most important thing you can
do. Some people can become obsessed with weight
loss regimens. It is easy to cross the line between
making healthy choices and becoming obsessive. If
your girlfriend or wife is exercising 3-5 times a week
and generally eating nutritious, low-calorie, low-fat
meals, she's on the right track. If she berates herself
for missing one day at the gym, won't take a
vacation or participate in a special activity she
normally loves because it would mean missing a
workout, and refuses to let herself ever have a treat
she enjoys, then she may be crossing over into
unhealthy obsession territory. Remind her that she
looks wonderful. Tell her when you think she might
be crossing over into "too thin" territory. Let her
know that you miss the girl who would enjoy hot
dogs and beer with you at a baseball game or split a
candy bar and popcorn at the movies now and then.
Don't: Discourage healthy changes just because
they're inconvenient for you.
