...when you're 98lbs soaking wet.
My boyfriend who is actually in pretty good shape, has gained some weight around the middle due to his working 12 hours a day, as well as the lavish dinners he's always attending (I swear, he only buys his own food on weekends!!). This leaves him with little time to exercise and he has made an effort to lose weight during the last few weeks.
I have noticed the weight gain, but really don't want to say "yes, you have gained weight" when he mentions it. I also want to be supportive, but not quite sure how to do that. My ex-husband gained a LOT of weight once we were married, so I know how easy it is to get busy and lazy and not work out or eat right. Whenever I would bring it up, he would always say that I'm skinny, so I'd never understand.
I'd hate to see my honey go that route. What kind of support would you expect from your girl/boyfriend if you are losing weight or have struggled with it before? What should I say or not say? I only want to be encouraging, but have to admit - I don't want to go down that overweight lover road again.
