"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?

It's easy to become complacent in a relationship. Once you've "won the girl" you don't have to try as hard. When I was married I definitely put on weight. I was miserable in the relationship and hating everything about my life. In our last year together I started working out like crazy and after we split all of my hard work paid off because I was able to date pretty much anyone. I tend to date people who are active like myself, and a woman who likes to bike is a huge turn-on. I will not date a couch potato.
Whoa, I'm really straying off topic here. But instead of "giving a book to someone" how about suggesting "hey, let's go for a walk" or "let's join a gym together". Studies show that a couple who work out together have a better sex life too.
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.
