How do I tell my man I want him to get in shape?

Question

Okay. So, I'm overweight myself. I have a BMI of like 31 or something. But the guy of my dreams is also obese. I NEVER say anything about his weight to him but it does bother me. I'm just worried that he will have health problems in the future. He's pretty self confident, and I tell him that he is beautiful ALL THE TIME!! I want to start working out and getting healthy because we are thinking of having a baby soon. 🤰🏾 I would like for him to join me in my healthy journey. I don't want him to think I want to change him, because I don't, I love the man that he is. But I do want him to be cautious of his eating habits and his health. Am I wrong!!!???!?!?! I feel like a control freak! I love him to death!!!

Answer

You got to change your lifestyle first and maybe he will want to join in on that or not. But you got to go hard and fight for your health and not have cheat days in the beginning. Show him how serious you are and then slowly ask him if he'd like to join you. Or if he'd like to eat what you're eating. Good luck!

Answer

I would just suggest working out together, and maybe planning sit down healthy meals together as a couple. That way it's not like you're calling him fat? Or ask him if he wants to have a competition on who can lose the most weight?

Answer

Both work out together,

Answer

When I wanted to start 21 day fix I told him and was like "hey, I'm starting this new diet where we eat xyz, if I based our meals around this would you be ok with that?" My man wants to lose weight so he was onboard the second I mentioned it. As for working out, you can always ask him to join, but I think he has to motivate himself first.

Answer

You can start eating really healthy and working out and don't quit. If you try your best not to cheat (obviously you can treat yourself, but you just need to be serious about it) he will see how motivated you are and watch your positive results & possibly want to join in! If not, maybe give him a little nudge. Get him to taste some healthy foods or go on a walk with you. Baby steps.. if all else fails, just nicely tell him how you feel. You have a right to be concerned! When you love someone you want them to be their best self:) good luck!
