Weighty Matters.

"Never give anyone you're dating a diet book." -Life's Little Instruction Calendar Volume XI

Thank you Captain Obvious!!

But really what do you do if the person you are dating starts putting on a little weight, or a lot of weight. If you really like them, it shouldn't matter. Should it?

Learning through hollistic healing, the reason many people put on weight is because they are not handling a separate major problem in their life.
I really do believe that extra weight is a shield that is aquired to hide something deeper.

That said, if someone put on a lot of weight in a relationship; I believe there needs to be a focus put into what they're trying to hide.

pgh - Ah, the old lets go for a walk technique.

My brother and his girlfriend tried to workout together and then they gave up on working out together. But I'm sure the experience made them grow closer together.

MJ, I never thought of that before. Maybe they are trying to hide something deeper, whether they know it or not.

I'm sure weight gain is a complicated issue. Food can become an addiction like alcohol. Food can become a way to drown one's sorrows.

And giving up on exercise can be one of a few symptoms of depression. The old "what's the point" attitude.
