Answer 1

LOSE WEIGHT FOR YOU COS YOU WANT TO...NOT FOR A PARTNER......!
IF HE DONT ACCEPT YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME THERE... DITCH THE LOOSER.... AND A NICE SHARPE KICK IN THE FAMILY JEWELS MAY BE IN ORDER....!

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a crash diet that works, even with excercise. The minute you go back to eating you put the weight back on. Also, what happens to your body when you do something like drinking just water, which is probably the worst thing you can do, is your body thinks it is being starved to death and it shuts down. You will stop losing fat from the places you want and will start losing weight from your muscles, which will be even worse if you are excercising. You will just become totally exhausted and feel lousy. You really aren't going to lose any weight and you are going to get yourself sick. Believe me, I've done it. Everytime I do it, afterwards I end up weighing more than when I started. Try doing a sensable diet. As I have finally found out, and it took me a long time, if you eat correctly on a real diet you actually lose weight faster and it really stays off. Also, tell your partner that by telling you that you are fat it isn't helping your self image and it isn't helping you really want to lose weight in the long run. He should be supportive, not negative. If he keeps up things like this he is causing you more harm then help.

First thing you need to do is lose your partner, he sounds like a complete idiot! Next if you want to lose weight, start eating sensibly, focus on fruit & veg, cut out all snacks etc. A bit of exercise can only do you good. If you stop eating completely, your body goes into a state also known as 'starvation mode' whereby it tries to conserve all fat and nutrients, your metabolism slows down and so you might lose some weight initially, but will no doubt gain that amount and more as soon as you stop because your body will now try to conserve the nutrients it receives thereby making weight loss much harder!
Shortcuts never work, they just mess things up in the long run, do it properly or don't do it at all! Good luck.
In regards to your added comment, its strange that you seem to be blaming other women (or skinny insects - lol) for your partners attitude and not him. We are all different shapes and as women should be accepting of each other, yes I agree sometimes its a bit annoying to see these really skinny women prance about, but each to his own. Your partner is the one making these stupid comments not because of the superskinny women but because he's a moron!

If you stop eating all of a sudden then you will f*k up your metabolism. Your body will also go into shock and you could even have a stroke, so dont do anything silly.
Try joining weight watchers, I know it sounds lame but it does work and you will meet others there in the same boat.
You will lose weight by feeding yourself a varied diet - i.e chop and change every week. Start with a very low fat intake - sushi rolls are good, soups, smoothies, fish and salads etc. Eat complex carbs - i.e. brown rice and brown pasta etc. Cut out bread all together if I were you - it's pretty bad for you and makes you bloated!

Anyway, your partner should be supportive and not mean to you about your weight. If he upsets you he will make it harder for you to have the confidence and self belief to make it work. Personally, I would tell him to take a hike and get on with it yourself - lose the weight for yourself and then give him the 'V', ha ha!
Next try low carb diet - i.e. no bread, rice, pasta etc for a week.

Answer 5

Depriving yourself of calories is the worst thing you can do to lose weight. All you're doing is causing your body to cannibalize it's own muscle and slowing your metabolism. The key is to eat several (4-6) small meals throughout the day.

To get assistance with this, you should consult a registered dietitian and a certified personal trainer. Don't just go to your local gym and blindly follow the directions of just anyone. You want your trainer to be certified, preferably by ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine).

You should also dump the selfish *** who keeps calling you fat. He doesn't seem to be much of a support system.

Answer 6

You need to start your metabolism to work as early as possible like first thing in the morning (toast) like that it will start burning calories straight away! Drinking only water and not eating will not help you lose weight!! A reasonable and healthy diet and plenty of water plus on top some exercise will help you lose weight and tone up in same time!!

Answer 7

you will kill yourself if all you do is drink water and eat nothing. adding water to your diet will help. such as drinking a full glass of water before every meal or snack as you will feel full faster. water is great for a diet but make it a lifestyle change. as for your partner calling you fat, don't put up with that kind of abuse. love yourself the way you are and change yourself only for you!

Answer 8

You need more than water hun, eat a sensible low fat diet, you should eat breakfast as it gets your metabolism going for the day. Rather than worry about your weight however, unless you are extremely overweight I would look at your relationship with your boyfriend. Who is he to call you fat?

Answer 9

Crash diets never work. Just eat healthy foods and reduse and or all fatty foods from your daily foods. Eat 3 meals a day and thats all no snacking! Good luck

Answer 10

Your partner needs a kick up the a*se, you lose weight if it's something you want to do.
Remember you don't have to prove anything to anybody, be yourself and be happy and if he doesn't like it, show him the door.
Good luck.
