Partnering Your Diet

Is your partner a bit upset over your weight loss success? What you can do to unruffle feathers. Let's take a look into John's diet plan and how he helped Ellen overcome feelings of insecurity over his weight loss accomplishments.

John went on a diet about a year ago and lost 129 pounds! What a change that weight loss made in John's life. For one, he didn't even feel like the same person - much lees look like the same person.  The John he used to know had three chins.  This John had none.

John had discovered that his health had improved greatly though weight loss, but he had also discovered something very flattering.  He had been overweight all of his life, even as a young boy. He had no idea that all this handsomeness was hiding beneath the weight.  He was absolutely humbled and delighted, and so proud of what he had accomplished.  He had worked hard - over a year resisting temptation, watching what he ate exercising - and boy oh boy, had his hard work paid off.

But his wife, Ellen, wasn't as happy as John about his weight loss. Every where they went together, she saw how attracted other women were to her new thin husband.  She had never had to deal with this before. She was so scared that she was going to lose John that she even went as far as to encourage him to regain the weight.

John sat her down one evening and they had a long talk.  She was embarrassed to admit her thoughts, but did so because she loved John and wanted him to see how frightened that she was of losing him.  John asked her, "Ellen, if I were to regain the weight, my high blood pressure would return.  We know that I was at great risk for diabetes.  And we both know that heart disease runs in my family. Ellen, if I were to regain the weight, you'd lose me anyway.  And that's something that frightens me.  I want to be here for you and the kids."

Ellen understood so many things. She understood why John had lost the weight. She understood why he needed to stay trim. And she understood that he loved her.  That's all she needed to know.
