During my slimming world class the other day we were discussing personal experiences regarding why we want to loose weight.
And one woman began to tell us it was when her husband told her;
"I love you, but I think you need to loose weight. I will never stop loving you but your at a unhealthy size and if im honest its hard to be attracted to you"
Now this split everyone in the room in half..some were outraged by him saying this, others admired his honesty.
Im not sure how I feel myself, as I would be gutted if thats how my husband felt. But I would rather also know that this was how he was feeling so I really began to kick myself up the butt.
Is honesty the best policy to finally get us to see what our bad eating behaviour is doing to us? Or are statements like this only going to make the cycle of comfort eating etc worse?
Wondered how you guys would of reacted?
