Since when did men become such sissy pants that they can't handle being reminded that they're becoming overly obese and should start doing something about it? Call me an insensitive biatch, but if my guy were starting to pack on the pounds, I wouldn't care about keeping his feelings intact. I'd make it clear that he needs to watch his health and his weight.
Yeah, I tend to dig my heels in when I feel like someone is being negatively critical of my weight gain. Its hard enough seeing myself in a mirror and remembering what I looked like when I was in dancer shape. Now, I ride a desk all day and hardly ever get to go out to show sites to install equipment, which used to help keep me in shape.
hhhmmm.. my boyfriend is very self-conscious when it comes to his physical appearance. i'm a very simple gal and i only started being really conscious about the way i look when i met him.
anyway, it isn't a bad thing to be self-conscious. it's not being vain but loving yourself.
thanks for the great tips here.
