<\/a>Weight Watchers<\/p><\/div>\n
My friend Rachel <\/a>scanned and emailed her Weight Watchers brochure on the topic after she read my post about supportive partners<\/a>. While this is a similar subject, I think it’s an even more important topic to discuss because these types of people ARE out there.<\/p>\n The Food Pusher:<\/span> “Just have a little piece”<\/p>\n The Paranoid Partner:<\/span> They think you’re going to leave them when you get “skinny”.<\/p>\n The Mother Hen:<\/span> “You’re getting too skinny, you need to eat.”<\/p>\n The Jealous Joker: <\/span>“Ordering another salad? You don’t eat real food.”<\/p>\n 1. Be honest with them. Tell them what you’re trying to do and ask for their support.<\/p>\n 2. Get it “To Go” and then don’t eat it.<\/p>\n 3. Have a small bite and tell them how great it is. Then STOP eating it.<\/p>\n 4. Reassure your partner or friend that the relationship is not going to change when you get healthy. Invite them to join you in the journey!<\/p>\n 5. Tell them how important it is to you to get healthy.<\/p>\n 6. If the relationship is truly toxic, limit your exposure to them the best you can.<\/p>\nHow to Deal with these Saboteurs<\/span><\/h3>\n
