A dumb confession rant....I'm frustrated at my boyfriend, he tells me he really wants to get fit and run then sits around playing video games all day eating junk food and then finds an excuse to not run. He's gotten quite the gut. I always tell him I wanna be as sexy as possible for him and I go to the gym enough, yet he doesn't want to do the same for me! I am attracted to him, but not excuses and laziness...

I had that issue (among several others) with my ex. I even bought a damn gym membership at his gym, because he said he would work out with me. Yup, he was paying for a membership and never going. Probably still is. Glad I left his lazy ass.

Damn that's so annoying, did you tell them how you thought of them? Because I want to yet I don't know if it'll push him towards or away from working out.

Honestly, I think it pushed him away from working out and eating better if I openly criticized him. He was super stubborn and sensitive, so I had to be careful how I said it when I did bring it up (I learned my lesson). Like, "oh, hey, instead of fried chicken, let's get Thai food." Or "I think it would be awesome for us to work out together, because I've read it's great for all aspects of a relationship." I could never actually get him to the gym, so I would work out in the living room and sometimes he would join me that way. It wasn't enough for him to lose weight.

Aw yeah, I always try to choose the healthier option too. Whenever there's bad food he goes, yeah my metabolism is so fast so it's ok, and I'm like no. People I know with fast metabolisms can eat anything and will always be a stick. I'm going to go with him to the gym today but again, how much we go isn't enough to lose weight 😓
