My boyfriend lost too much weight and it grosses me out?

[Anonymous]

i love guys with meat on them bones! lol. my boyfriend used to be chubby and I love chubby guys. but then he got really skinny. skinny all over (skinnier than me) and this pot belly. it's just this lump, it doesn't look like a beer belly it just looks like a low lump in his belly. I try to workout to lose weight and I am bigger than him not =( so we go to the gym and I will do cardio then go to the weights, he will do cardio 10 min at most and say he is done...then do weights for 5 min and say that's it for the day. I want him to get in shape with me because I am not attracted to skinny men at all. what should I say to him? he won't get off his booty and workout with me, then he complains about his belly and how thin he is. how can I get him to wanna get in shape with me?

Tell him that you don't like skinny guys, tell him that if he wants to improve his body that you want him to develop muscle not lose weight. Try to explain to him how you feel, that it feels uncomfortable for you being around a guy who is smaller frame than you, and maybe you will need to compromise as well, if you are a little big (I don't know), then you can agree to lose some weight or tone your body more.

Yeah I'm going to bring it up with him...and nah I'm not too big just a 7, trying to get to a 0 though

I know you probably know this, but I wanted to say it anyway. Don't feel pressured to lose too much weight so that you are uncomfortable with yourself. If you don't want to be really thin, you can always just tone what you have.

Trust me... being a 0 isn't flattering. That basically means you're a stick. No butt no breasts... NO CURVES! Also put yourself in his position... He may not want YOU to be so thin either :)

Best of luck to you though!

Do Insanity! If you don't stop for the whole session then you're working out for a minimum of 30 minutes and you can create your own regiment, not too mention its a good way to lose fat and gain muscle. It doesn't put too much stress on the joints or back, so no excuses about bad knees or back pain ha ha give it a shot, your boyfriend will love it

Not too much stress on the joints? Dude my knees were killing me in the first week, I couldn't stick to the plan.

That was your muscles not your joints, that happens whenever you start a intense workout. and if it continues than you're doing something wrong because I have a fake knee and shoulder and I can do it all just fine
