    What does your S/O have to do with your fitness goals?

    ^This

    Find your own motivation.

    I was like you. For months I begged my man to start working out with me, to motivate me, to eat better with me, he needed to get into shape to so do it with me, blah blah blah... it never happened. I told him to motivate me and he would say "you need to motivate yourself." I got pissed at him, but he's right.

    It has to come from within or it's not going to come at all. I eat healthy, filling things now. I use my body in great ways. I work out, I stay active. What does my SO do? Plays video games, smokes pot, eats chips by the bag, eats fast food, drinks beer, doesn't work out.

    Does it affect me? Not at all.

    Did I want to believe it affected me so I had an easy excuse not to do what I needed to do? You bet.

    Lol, I like how this is the 2nd thread in a short time about this.

    The first person got flamed up to no end... lots of hate.

    Why would someone get flamed for wanting their S/O to eat heatlhy and work out. I always wonder just how significant an other can be if you don't care about their health.

    My thoughts exactly. I don't know why she got flamed so hard. I'm all for supporting your SO to be the best person possible.

    If he isn't eating healthy then he probably isn't healthy. The old saying "You are what you eat". Really, the only person you can be responsible for is you. Eat healthy, exercise and be proud of yourself that your on the right track. I'm proud of you and look forward to seeing you reach your goal!
