My Sweetheart was slightly overweight before, I was worried that later on he might have a heart problem and etc... So what I did I convinced him to buy an exercise bike and I challenge him every night riding and cycling on the exercise bike while watching TV. If I did about 25Km he has to do the same or more and until it became our habits. I also encouraged to ride on bike every weekend especially when the weather is good. We cycle together around the village.
I love cooking and he loves everything I cooked. So I realized that I have to blame myself that I feed him too much so what I did I changed our diet. No more rice especially in the morning, coz I used to make " tapsilog" or " Longsilog" ( sausage, fried egg and fried rice). I just serve him fruits and cereal in the morning, then I make him green salad and tuna sandwich and yogurt for his lunch box. For dinner I avoid red meat instead I cook grilled fish and then steamed vegetable.
I think,if they are already overweight we can not changed them but we can help them to minimize the intake of fatty foods and carbohydrates.
The other tricks I did was, I told him if he will put on more weight , NO more S_x
and it happend he did not have it for 2 weeks, so he really did a work-out until he lost 2 stones.
Now, he is grateful that I helped him to changed his eating habits and he became very active. He feels so good about himself and he feels more confident now.
