Default Re: Body Image...An Age-Old Quandary

Tell your wife that she looks absolutely beautiful, but you are having a problem with how she has been down on herself. Tell her that you both need to change your lifestyle and start living a healthier life. Emphasizing not to change how she looks, but to feel healthier and to feel better. Try to find activities that she enjoys doing going for walks, going hiking or joining a gym. The more activities you both do together the more support you both can give each other.

My wife did have a weight issue over ten years ago, I never said anything how she looked (she has always been beautiful in my eyes), but I did talk to her about health issues and how I didn’t like how she was down on herself. She has since made a complete change and now works at gym as a personnel trainer. She looks great and is very physically fit, but she still has issues with how she thinks here body looks (I think that is a female thing), I don’t think she will ever be happy with the way she looks (I just don’t understand).

Good luck!!!
