When Weight Gain Influences Intimate Relationships

by Sky Taylor, Diet Bites

Delta's 'knight in shining armor' sat inside the swanky Italian restaurant waiting for his secretary to return. Now 'she' was 'da-bomb' - nothing like his overweight wife, Delta.

What had happened to Delta? It seemed that as the years had slowly passed, his wife's weight scales had slowly gained. That sleek, hourglass shape that he once admired was buried beneath too much pizza, fast food, chocolate and inactivity. My how he longed to hold that once-trim shape in his arms, Rod went on to fantasize.

As to his secretary, he knew that having her could be as simple as snapping his fingers. And frankly, he felt uncomfortable alone with her in the swanky restaurant. Sure - they had business to discuss and sure, he had missed lunch due to such. But the fact that she had managed to talk him into accompanying her into an atmospheric passion pit was beyond his better thinking. He didn't do things like this - business or not. And he was still uncomfortable with the wine that she'd ordered for them - without asking at that. "It's healthy," she had justified as she had handed the waiter in the penguin suit the Class-A menu, simultaneously slipping Rod a sideways smile that had been rather sexy, perhaps in part due to the amount of red she had applied to her full set of lips.

Even so, his sexy secretary wasn't Delta - could never be Delta. And Rod actually felt himself trembling. What if someone saw him - them - there and got the wrong impression? Didn't look right, and it felt more wrong than it looked. Blame it on tiredness, on mental fog or whatever, he could clearly see now that his secretary had lured him into a rather intimate situation.....a Love Trap of sorts. And it wasn't fun being the prey.

Without wasting another moment, he searched for something to write on. No paper napkins in this place he silently mocked. But there was one in his shirt pocket - one given to him by his darling Delta only this morning as he was preparing to leave the house with a bit too much breakfast on his lips.

Rod scrawled on the napkin in bold, "Delta's calling. Gotta go. Enjoy your meal - it's on me."

In Summary

Fortunately, Rod and Delta have something that even weight gain cannot penetrate - True Love. Unfortunately, many times the above situation doesn't work out so swimmingly. On that note, if you are in need of dropping pounds and fear that your soul mate might get smitten with wanderlust, it's time to evaluate the roots of your relationship. Although weight gain can cause some unpleasant storms in life, it is powerless against True Love.

On the other side of the coin, if you are dealing with an overweight partner and you are concerned about their health - as well as their appearance, they need all the support that you can offer to them. Giving such can reap glorious rewards - in more 'weighs' than one.
