Fighting Weight Gain
When starting a new relationship, you might be thinking to yourself that maybe you have gained a few pounds suddenly. After all of those first dates at those nice fancy restaurants, that only leaves the relationship to blame for weight gain, right? When dating a new man in your life, your diet is probably the last thing on your mind. You also might find yourself wanting to spend as much time as possible with your new date. These situations can most likely lead to weight gain, but here are a few tips to avoid it while dating.
1. Plan the dates ahead of time. Try to make sure the dates don’t revolve too much around food and drink. Plan dates that involve activities such as hiking or cycling. Try to have control over cooking since you can be sure what ingredients are going into your meals. Try to keep a low calorie goal in the meals you make and stick to a healthy date.
2. Limit the alcohol. If you are constantly having a glass or two of wine over those romantic dinners, these calories are sure to add up eventually. Just remember that each drink is about 100-150 calories to your total intake. Try to limit the alcohol you drink on your dates and you’ll decrease your chances of weight gain.
3. Plan some alone time. It might be difficult to keep your mind off of your new date, but try your best to schedule some alone time and stick to your scheduled workouts. You could of course invite your boyfriend along and work out together, but the alone time is good for you to do something great for your health.
4. Don’t eat just because he is eating. If you wouldn’t eat at a time when your date is eating, then don’t give in. If you aren’t hungry, do not feel pressured to eat while he is eating. Stick to your diet and try not to change your diet according to his.
Try following these rules and you can increase your chances on fighting relationship weight gain. It isn’t that difficult, but it will require some discipline on your part. You can come up with a lot of creative ideas to have a healthy dating life with your new man. After all, it isn’t that fun to go out to a restaurant every single night, is it?

This problem has become one of the most burning issues nowadays. And we have no time to relax, to look good means to be successful. Keeping fit is a key to any closed door!
Love me - love my dog! If you really like the girl it doesn't matter wether she's plump or slim!
I generally hate fat people, for me it's an indication that most likely a person doesn't care about him/herself, has no will to stay fit. A plump girl simply has no chance to show me her wonderful inner world, since I wouldn't approach her, ever.
hey, how about hormonal status changes with ages? You can do very little with that. Plus genotypes differences between individuals. Don't hate anyone that he/she is what he is. Nobody wants be fat, ill and non-beatiful...but there are something in our lves what cannot be managed just with diets (that often destroys another part of our health) or with running etc
Yes, I know. I wouldn't mind my wife, I spent many years together, being fat. That relationship would be beyond any physical appearance. I am simply saying that I won't _start_ a relationship with someone who's fat. And this is not because I consciously decided so, it is matter-of-factly, it is simply “plus fort que moi”. I wouldn't feel any attraction, period.
I'm 14, 5' and 97 pounds. I don't think that is fat. But I have really slow metabolism and whenever I eat even if its just drinking some water, my stomach blows up and it stays like that for a couple hours. I have a really good diet, lots of fruits and veggies etc.... Of course I eat candy and stuff but I do try and watch whatI eat as far as snacking goes. I play softball and volleyball and have gym every day. But I feel so fat and its embarrassing especially when I wear tight fitting shirts. I'm afraid to eat and I feel like I need to suck in my stomach. I'm not obsessive over this like starving myself, but I want to know if there are some foods or other things I can do to keep this from happening.
You think to yourself because you're overweight you can't wear cute things like girls that have a better figure than you can wear.
Many people think fat is sexy and beautiful, and don't like super-skinny girls. You can count your body mass index (BMI) and see you are not only normal, but even a bit below average. If you gain some weight it is not dangerous, but if you will starve yourself it IS dangerous, especially in your teenage years, while your body hasn't completed its formation yet. Stop worrying about your weight, you are pretty skinny girl and do sporting activities and eat good food so there's no need to worry. You will become taller and your body proportions will change... and never try to change your body to wear any particular clothes, better choose clothes to fit your body. What need to wear tight shirts if you don't feel comfortable? Wear next size and feel alright.
Stop feeling bad for bigger girls who wear shape fitting clothes, instead think props to them! That takes more nerve than you can imagine.
Add some color to your wardrobe to go with the slimming black. wear black at your date it really makes you look slimmer =)
Consider wearing leggings. You could also try a few pairs of jeans, black jeans and dark blue jeans are the best kinds to look slimmer,
and if you're still not comfortable then you could always go and buy sweats, or terry cloth pants but the cute ones like the juicy ones, the ones that aren't loose as sweatpants but still more comfortable then jeans or leggings. Stop wearing huge pants all the time! it's just hiding your good figure that you do have.
Go to your hairdresser and get a flattering hairstyle. Added height at the top of the head usually flatters round faces for example.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now and over the past year he has put on quite a bit of weight. His overall health has been one of my concerns since we began dating. He is not health conscious at all. :-((( what to do??
you should workout constantly (around him if that's convenient),so that he might want to start doing it too. and don't buy any snacks at all (because you know that he'll eat 'em!). maybe you could train to run a marathon together...its a very satisfying feeling to complete a marathon. short answer: set a good example
It's up to him to decide when to get off is butt and do something about it, not you. If he asks you about the weight let him know you would prefer he chooses to be more healthy and that you will support him if he asks for it.
True love doesn't hurt others because true love excite other people short coming and understand and respect one of another feeling and way of thinking. We can't change nobody life and honestly speaking we can't change our own life unless we talk with the one who gave us life.
