how do you get your significant other to take wieght loss pills?

Question

i have a gf and shes a bit on the big side. i want to try and get her to take wieght loss pills. the other thing is she knows shes got a lot of fat. i need help!!!!!!! what do i do?

Answer 1

Weight loss pills are one of two things, a waste of money or dangerous...so forget that part of the plan. Tell her you are concerned about her health and try to introduce a more healthy diet and exercise into her lifestyle. If you participate with her that will increase her chances of success. If she is opposed to this make a choice. Can you live with her if she is this way, or do you need to move on? If you truly love her you can accept her however way she is, but I do understand if you want to help her be more healthy...and so will she.

Answer 2

do you work out? Diet pills dont work without diet and exercise anyways. If you notice, when you look on the back of any diet pill it'll say something like...results are best with diet and excercise along with drinking so much water a day and so many calories a day..its like duhh if i did that alone i wouldnt need diet pills. You better be working out too if you expect her to work out/lose weight. Cut back on the fast food. Eat grilled foods over fried foods. Hit up subway!

Answer 3

best advice is stay away from the gain weight pills. If you truly want her to lose weight do it by encouragement. Eat healthy with her, exercise wih her, notice everytime she looks a little better. If she thinks you are noticing and caring about her losing weight she will strive to lose more for you and her. If you cared about and seeing as you even asked the question first i beleive you do, then dont have her taking pills in the long run it will just come back if her lifestyle has not changed. bring her esteem up and the rest will follow.

Answer 4

first off,

if she is fat, she should certainly lose weight.
As bieng fat makes her less healthy and obviously less attractive. And of course less of a person.

however, taking diet/weight loss pills is going to be more dangerous for her than bieng fat/heavy.

you need to educate yourself, then her on proper nutrition as WELL AS THE HEALTH RISKS OF BIENG FAT/HEAVY.

Try to learn all you can and read some nutrition books. Then you can approach the weight loss subject with her in a way that is going to focus on her improving her overall health. I could spout tons of crap about diabetis, hart risks, increased cancer risks, lower survival rates for other ilnesses or hospital stays, etc.

However it is better, and you will remember more if you do it yourself.

try these nutrition books to get you started, try to stay away from diet books as they tend to want to sell "thier" diet and the goal is to sell something everyone else doesn't have. the focus in a nutrition book is to provide the most information as they are often used in courses for people studying to be nutritionists. there are a few "simplified" ones written for the common man.

1- eat drink and be healthy, the harvard medical school guide to healthy eating. (simplified nutrition book, easy read)

2- the New optimum nutrition bible (more complex, mediocre complexity). It has a green apple on the cover.

If she still refuses then you have to make choices about whether you want to be with this person or not, as just pressuring her will harm your relationship in the long run and create a tension between you. If she doesn't want to lose weight you can't force her. You need to just either accept her as a heavy/fat girl or dump her.

Answer 5

Start a fitness regime together. Otherwise you will make her feell bad and she will probably get fatter. Do it from your side, like lead by example, together is always better. Diet pills are crap anyway and very bad for one. One tends to put on more weight that was lost with them. Also check out 'food combining' on the net or in a book store. I know people who have lost loads of weight by eating normally but combining food groups. It is all biological on what the body can digest.
That combined with a bit of exercise and you guys will be in g-strings on the beach in no time. ;-)

Answer 6

You are going to have to lead by example. If that doesn't motivate your significant other then you are going to have to decide if this is something that will bother you in the long run. If it does bother you, do not put it off and end the relationship immediately. Comfort in a relationship is a bad reason to prolong it. And if you are going to break up for that reason DO NOT admit that is the reason. Make up some bs reason. Stuff like that will drive a woman into an eating disorder.

Answer 7

Tread *very* carefully here! I see her getting *really* pissed off if you just say, hey - you need to take these.

At any rate, diet pills don't work and are very dangerous. It would be a far better idea to just start going for long walks together. Cook her healthy meals. Suggest a group fitness class together - yoga or spinning - but YOU need to set the example.

Of course, if you truly cared about her, it wouldn't matter if she's a little heavy.

Answer 8

Try being more active... like go for a long walk, get a gym membership together, try taking a yoga or dance class together... And/or try cooking her healthier meals... she might get her feelings hurt if you offer her a weight loss pill... you know... so if you suggest something that you can do together that may help motivate her... there are healthier and safe ways of losing weight than taking pills... I hope this helps...

Answer 9

Not only can weight loss pills be dangerous, they do not work at all; studies have proven it. They only help a little when used in conjunction with diet and exercise. So if you want your girlfriend to lose weight, I suggest that the two of you start a routine working out together.

Answer 10

you don't need help your girlfriend does. believe it or not this isn't about you needing help. don't you dare suggest diet pills........they are dangerous!
what you can do is encourage her. make her feel like you care about her, not her size, not her weight. don't remind her all the time about it, she knows what she looks like, she doesn't need any little 'helpful' hints. dont' ask her everyday about diets, or exercise.
tell her how beautiful she is, and for god sake, don't say
'you have such a pretty face'. that is so insulting. comment on how nice her hair looks. or a new outfit. or whatever her attributes are. make her feel like she is worth something, that she is special.
it wasn't until my doctor one day said to me, out of the blue,
'you know you are worth taking time for. you are worth the effort of getting healthy'! it was the first time anyone had ever said anything remotely like that to me, i was worth something.....who knew?
anyway that comment, [plus my husband finally figuring out sarcasm, and smart-a$$ comments & jokes, and insisting on junk food being in the house, wasn't the way to do it], got me going and i am losing weight. not fast, but every week a couple of pounds are coming off and i am happier, my mood is lighter and i am feeling better about life. all because of a compliment.
you can do your part by not sitting around in front of her eating junk food, burgers, fries, shakes, whatever. don't keep junk food in the house. if you have to have it, then have it outside the home, when she isn't around. go to those kind of places with your buddies not her, you have to be supportive.
she doesn't want to be that way........so help her!
overeating, food, it is an addiction, bigger than cigarettes or drugs. and those of you who aren't addicted do not understand. people have so much empathy for drug users, 'oh its not their fault, they're hooked'............well food is right up there and its not so much her fault as it is her addiction, and its a b-itch to beat!
