10 Ways to Tell Your Partner that He Gained Weight

Your boyfriend has gained some weight and you don't know how to tell him that it would be better for him to give up pizza and beer. Well, we prepared you 10 ways to say it without breaking his heart. Are you ready? Attack!

You can't just cross your arms and announce him loudly that he gained weight and that you're leaving him in 3 months if he doesn't do something about. Well, theoretically you can, but we know that you're too elegant to do it (I think). So, here are 10...sensitive ways to express your opinion about his new belly.

10. Buy clothes with a few sizes smaller

After he tries them and obvious, he discovers that the clothes are too small, tell him surprised "Oh, I'm sorry, but 5 months ago you were wearing a size M! What happened? Maybe we can took it to a tailor and make some adjustments. It will look somehow weird, but it's all right, isn't it?"

He will surely feel strange and do something about. If not, you should insist and go on the next tip.

9. Offer him a subscription to the classes of a famous coach

He won't accept fitness classes, but if he knows that you spent a considerable amount of money on that class, he will be forced to participate, whether he wants it or not.

8. Establish a weight loss program for two

Tell him initially that you want to create a weight loss program only for you, but ask him to weigh himself, as a game. When the needle will indicate a weight above the normal one, you should say: "Very well, you'll be included in my program!"

7. Give him small portions of food

Does he want to eat 3 meals for dinner? That's fine, but no more than 200 grams of food! If he wants more, remind him that a few months ago he wasn't eating so much. There is no need to not serve him; just be polite, give him food, but always mention about how much he eats!

6. Improve the weight loss diet for couples

Are you both eating unhealthy? Then you should gradually change the family's eating habits. If he won't have temptations near him, maybe he will succeed to loose weight faster.

5. Pinch and gather

Play with his belly and pinch the adipose tissue, even if he says he likes it; the truth may be different. He will become conscious about his extra pounds and maybe he will start doing something about.

4. Ask him to wear a T-shirt/ shirt that he was wearing some time ago

Remind him about "that" T-shirt, which he worn at your first date; if he doesn't find it, help him to search better, and if he no longer fits in it...tell him that he gained weight.

3. Break the chair

Well, here you need dexterity. Remove a few screws, as your partner has to break the chair (accidentally, of course) when he sits on sit. He will surely get worried!

2. Add some testimonials

Place some pictures with him around the house, living memories of that "x" pounds that he was having just a few months/ years ago. When he will face the proofs, he will understand the message.

1. On the sunny beach

Your holiday destination should be a tropical one. Before leaving, take him to a pool and ask him to undress in public, as he will be too timid to do it; as a result, he will try to loose weight in order to look hot on holiday.

Good luck!!

    as an overweight person all my life, in the long run it is the individual to decide if they want to lose weight or not, your love one can talk about it with you but nag is not the solution that can break a couple up, support is not the same as foolish games.
