motivation for my boyfriend

bacarter18

i'm slowly working on my boyfriend to eat better... i know he sees the change in me, and i know he's feeling down about himself... i don't want to push him too much, but i really, really want him to do this for HIM, to feel better and to live a healthier life. any tips/advice?

he does walk the dog, he does eat a decent dinner and i try to keep unhealthy stuff out of the house... but mostly i think he snacks too much and just overeats/eats too fast. he also doesn't like to work out with me... he says he only wants to do it alone.

Has he any friends who work out at gym, run, jog or swim? May be he could join them as a bit of male bonding time?

I have the same problem with my babe. He started with me, but it seems like he doesn't really have much interest anymore and doesn't exercise. I offer to have him walk with me, but he always says no. I think he's embarrassed to tell you the truth. I'm not sure how to motivate him. I don't live with my man, but if I did I would do all the cooking and then he can see how tasty healthy eating actually is. Maybe get a Wii and that might help in his interest in getting exercise.

You could try a reward system, which could be something like if he exercises a set number of times he gets something he likes from you. Like if he workout 2 times a week for month you take him to dinner or tickets to a baseball game whatever he likes or is reasonable. Make sure to keep giving him support about walking the dog praise can be great motivator.
