How do I get my pregnant girlfriend motivated to lose weight?!


Question: How do I get my pregnant girlfriend motivated to lose weight.?
My girlfriend is 6 months pregnant. Before she got pregnant, she was a perfect 105 pounds. Now she is 140 pounds and to be honest, I'm no longer sexually or physically attracted to her. I am willing to pay for diet pills and trainers, I just need to know how to motivate her to get started.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I Completely understand what you mean, I am totally attracted to petite women also and 35lbs can make a big difference. You are going to ger SLAMMED with women screaming at you. They're very opinionated about this topic, they'll all probably start with she's pregnant!!! bla bla. I think you're aware she is pregnant and is going to gain weight. But my sister was also pretty thin and gained quite alot of weight when she got pregnant. The key is not to gain too much while pregnant cause its SO hard to lose it after. But diet pills wont be good for the baby while she is pregnant or while breast feeding (if she decided to do that) Probably the best thing you will be able to do right now is cook healthy meals for her, start doing the grocery shopping (say its to help her out so she doesn't have to go) and buy lots of fruits and veggies (none frozen, purely fresh) Make sure its stuff she and you like so she wont get defensive about it. also take away all junk food. Not only is it bad for her and her weight its bad for the baby as well. But as far as working out goes she is not supposed to do anything more while pregnant that before she was pregnant. So if she was just naturally thin and didn't workout then she shouldn't do much, maybe walk, but not far. you could get her one of those little pedal things ( copy and paste web address located in the source section below to see what i'm talking about) also buy lots of water and those V8 drinks granola bars things like this. No soda, not even diet. all soda is very bad for you if you're trying to loose weight. Get juice, but real juice not all the sugary cheap juice, if you really wanted to get something good for the situation then a power juicer would be terrific ( i'll put the website in the source section as well) But the main thing you can do now while she is pregnant is eat right and no junk food and small workouts. No training, no diet pills. Then whatever you do NEVER! tell her you're not sexually attracted to her or say she is gaining too much weight, it will scar her for a LONG time and she will get depressed and probably gain more weight. But then after she has the baby and after her rest period that the doctor gives thats when you can get the trainer and she will get back to her perfect body. just be patient and remember this is a very stressful time for her, she's forming a human inside her. It take ALOT out of a woman to create a life. When her hormones make her into a angry moody person dont argue back, that will just make things worse. also what do alot of women do when they're mad or upset....? eat... we don't want this. also get her prenatal vitamins and things like that & get the good stretch mark cream, don't get the cheap kind, the name brand one works, put it on for her and make her feel sexy. Don't let her feel like you don't like her body. If you make her feel sexy she will be more likely to try and be sexy.

To recap:
Lots of: vitimans, juice(real), water, fruits and veggies (not frozen)
NO: Soda, junk food, fast food, sweets, or making her feel like your not attracted to her.

Remember to cook for her and be extra nice, Consider she is forming a life inside her, imagine how complex and strenuous on her body that is. Oh and also these rules should go for you too with the diet and everything, its only fair and it wouldn't be right if you made her a salad and then ran to McDonalds and are chomping o a BigMac right next to her. Then after when its time for her to lose the weight and get back in shape don't be like "baby you need to go to the gym..." Instead say something like "Hey sweetie, why dont WE go to the gym.?"
You need to be VERY careful with the way you word things with women. I hope this helps! best wishes with the new baby and always keep in mind being pregnant isn't easy and after she has the baby remember its your baby too and she needs alot of help caring for the baby.Health Question & Answer

she is pregnant!!!! so of course she is going to put on weight...since she is pregnant, she can't take diet pills and such....however, the two of you could plan meals together that are healthy which will mean that she won't feel awful because you think that she, a pregnant woman, is fat and she and the baby will be getting the nutrients they need in a very healthy form (this also means that it will be easier for her to return to her pre-pregnancy weight after the child is born)
If she doesn't want to eat healthy meals, then you can't force her and you shouldn't tell her that you aren't attracted to her (remember you did this to her as well by getting her pregnant) or you will make her mad and hurt her (and if you really love her, you wouldn't want to hurt her)

anyway, hopefully you can get over the weight and see that she is carrying a beautiful life inside of her...one that was created by the two of you.Health Question & Answer

You're an ***. She's having your baby and you're pissed about how she looks.?.?.? Get over it.

Diet pills could harm the baby. Don't go there.

Why not cook dinner for her.? You can cook nice healthy stuff for her and the baby.

Talk to her about breast feeding the baby after it's born. Women burn a ton of calories breast feeding and it's one of the best ways to get rid of the baby weight. And for godsake, don't tell her that! Tell her to breast feed because it's good for the baby.Health Question & Answer

try not to be inconsiderate... she's carrying around a baby. a life. if anything, that weight is good for the baby. it would be so heartless to have her and the baby malnourished... the best thing you can do is make sure that there are no complications. just give it time-- once the baby is born she wont go exactly back to normal, but close. think about all that pain shes going through... your girlfriends looks are the least of her worries right now. she has more important things to think about[like the baby.?] trying to get her to focus on how she looks is just plain cruel when shes undergoing difficulties every single day... but overall, just wait it out. you'll regain your sexual attraction for her soon enough. for now, just be a good boyfriend and itll all pay off.

Well she is pregnant...unless her weight gain is causing potential harm to her or the baby you should not be encouraging her to lose weight. Maybe you should think about your baby instead of your girlfriends weight gain. Besides diet pills are dangerous for anyone, especially a pregnant person.Health Question & Answer

She's pregnant you @$$. She's supposed to gain weight. Diet pills are harmful to her, and especially to the baby. She'll lose the weight after she has the baby. To be honest, with your attitude, she's probably not that attracted to you either. Just a thought...grow up.Health Question & Answer
