I should not really have to mention this tip because I would think women would not need a reminder but alas, I must.
Women, if a guy is telling you to lose weight, lose him.
I'm not talking about a man who is worried about your health, or who is trying to support you efforts to get into shape. These are great guys.
I'm talking about the guy who wants you to be the next centerfold model and if you are not then you are not someone he wants to be with. You know the type!
These guys are not interested in a relationship. They do not want a friend, companion, or long term partner. They want a body to use.
Now of course we all want to look good, keep ourselves fit, and feel healthy and strong. We want our partners to be attractive to us. We want to be attractive to our partners. This is normal and healthy.
What is NOT normal and healthy is a guy demanding his girlfriend/wife look like an 80 lb runway model, eat 500 calories a day, and wear a size 2, so HE can get his thrill!
There are men who value a woman's friendship, commitment, mind, qualities, personality, and love. There are men who want a great woman for a partner not just a body.
YOU deserve a guy like this. You do not need to starve yourself to prove you love some guy who doesn't care about you.

OMG, she looks SICK. Geeeez, what is wrong with people. Seeing someone like that on a catwalk would totally destroy my desire for the fashion they were promoting.
Yeah... I agree! It is unhealthy to be 50 lbs underweight. I hope women get to a place where health is more important than wearing a size 1!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!

HI,
This was on Dr. Phil today. Some guy was pestering his wife to loose the baby weight. He was some fitness trainer. She looked pretty but-hello-she had 3 kids at her ankles!
Hi William... ahh I wish I had seen the story.
Let me say.. you ROCK! See... you are a guy who understands that it is unrealistic to expect a woman with three little kids to look like the model in the picture. Some women can bounce right back into shape but for many women it is not easy. I hold to the idea that guys who insist their wives look like some fantasy woman on the runway are not great guys! :-)

My husband actually did this. When we dated I was a size 12. Then when we became engaged, I decided that I wanted to get healthy. He is a complete gym rat- totally fit, but I happen to know more aobut nutrition than he does, so we helped each other. I got down to a healthy size six. Shortly after becoming ill with kidney stones, I was told my high protein diet could be the cause. Just after this I started a new job- traveling and gained 10 lbs (size 8) He told me I was letting myself go- which Ididn't understand- I'd been larger when we got engaged. This was so depressing for me that I gained all of my weight back and then some. I'm now a size 14. It feels awful!
