my girlfriend is in the medical field and it seems like she has a medical excuse for everything and its quite annoying and discouraging. for example, im in really good shape but she is not. she is not very atheletic and hates exercise. when i try to give her rules or incourage her on getting in shape she just argues with me and gives me medical excuses. i tell her she has to do crunches to get her stomach more toned and she says her hips pop so she cant. i tell she cannot be getting up in the middle of the night and eating if she wants to loose weight. she tells me thats she believes she has low blood sugar and she cant sleep unless she eats. that one sounds like complete bull to me. what do you think? we go to jog, when i try give her incouragment to push herself further, she says she dosent sweat so her body overheats. i do try believe and listen to her reason but sometimes i cant. am i being insensitive or is she a little loony?

i think its a bit of both...u need to confront her and tell her u dont like the fact she comes up with an excuse for everything...let her know that the reason u always tell her to do stuff like that is to encourage her to lose weight....she sounds a bit stubborn & u may not be able to get her to budge but at least ur trying...but i wouldnt blame u for not believing her haha

A lot of that is total BS. Although the low blood sugar is legitimate. If she wants to keep her glucose levels up throughout the night she needs a HIGH PROTEIN snack before bed. Not during the night, like you said she will not lose weight this way. Part of the problem with working in the medical field is that the more you know, the more you read into a problem that may not really be a problem. I hope that makes sense to you. She sounds like a bit of a hypochondriac to me.

Some people will use any excuse if they don't want to do something they know they should. Being in the medical field, she should know better. Not so much looney as just plain ole bone LAZY!

it sounds like she is making a lot of excuses. being in the medical field doesn't help because she can use anything "medical" as an excuse because she has a lot of knowledge on the subject. i don't know her personally so i can;t say if it is lunacy (lol) but it certainly is immature.

Her hip pops - there is no stream around the hips to do crunchies, finished take a seat-united statessure, yet no might desire to do finished take a seat-ups. in simple terms crunchies. If her hip is turning whilst she whilst this is table bound this is going to be taken care of it may reason complications strolling and working. "Popping" is often bursitis and can be taken care of. this is a lame excuse and has NO scientific history. ingesting contained in direction of the night with low blood sugar - if she believes she is hypo-glycemic then she might desire to work out a physician as this is a existence threatening condition, further greater she might desire to be examined for diabetes. besides the undeniable fact that, sugar addicts and individuals who devour for convenience DO experience withdrawl while no longer ingesting for long classes of time. If she truly feels her blood sugars are an argument, then she might desire to be on a suited nutrients plan to get it under administration and a small glass of juice with the aid of the night could suffice to strengthen them returned. If she desires greater to experience reliable, she desires to work out a physician. this is a SHITE excuse. She would not sweat - MANY lady for some unknown reason HATE to sweat. The bypass out of their thank you to no longer sweat. they often stay away from sweating plenty that they actually might desire to push it to activating sweating of their physique. tell her to make advantageous she's hydrated appropriate, as dehydration is additionally an argument. If she's over heating she will pour water on herself, tell her to hold a small bottle in her hand along with her. If she grew to become into incapable of sweating this will additionally elect some severe scientific interest as she is in all likelihood to die of warmth stroke in a warmth-wave or with a fever. it is bull-o-nie. you're actually not being insensitive or a jerk. She isn't mentally waiting to alter so she will arise with the clarification why she shouldn't exchange till she gets to that time of determination making. you may desire to not greater make her be healthful and greater healthful now than you may make an alcoholic end ingesting. the two eventualities are purely helpful while the guy comes to a decision they elect the exchange, they are waiting for the exchange and could make the exchange. She's no longer loony, I see this each and every of the time. Its widely used, although to something human beings, lame excuses carry no water to good judgment. shop encouraging her, take her to a physician yet do no longer tension her. carry close in there and strong success.
