Other People Ruining Your Body Goals (2)
Feeder Fred
There’s nothing nicer than someone telling you they love you for who you are on the inside ❤️
But sometimes what’s on the outside – excess body fat - can get you down 😔
There’s a tendency for couples to get ‘too comfortable’ when the honeymoon period wears off, as they swap Romeo and Juliet for Netflix and Dominoes. 🍕 🎥
While males often seem happy to parade their newly-formed paunches as trophies, ladies aren't quite so keen to publicly celebrate an increase in bingo-wing girth.
Fred is worried that if you trim down some Hollywood A-lister will get wind of it, waltz through the door and whisk you away.
That or you’ll suddenly not want to sit in your jim-jams watching Love Island with a takeaway anymore.
So there may be a reluctance to show support if the thought of change scares them.
Assuming you’d like this relationship to continue into the next season of your favourite show, there are a few things you can do get Feeder Fred on side.
• Explain how serious you are about reaching your goals so there can be no misunderstandings later on. You’ll be committing yourself to these results too.
• Ease your way into these diet and lifestyle changes so that the transition will be easier – for both of you.
• Help them understand that being ‘healthy’ doesn’t involve eating rabbit food, banning booze or running a marathon.
As a last resort, point out that overweight people have affairs too - in fact, some prefer things that way - so if they don’t buckle up, you’re heading to Macdonald's after downloading Tinder.
