I once had a colleague who constantly talked about wanting to lose weight.
One day she would say, “I can't wait to lose some weight and wear fitted gowns.”
Another day it was, “I wish my tummy was as flat as yours.”
I always encouraged her because she genuinely seemed interested. I suggested simple things like morning walks or short runs a few times a week.
Months later, nothing had changed.
When I asked why, she told me her husband said he loved her exactly the way she was and didn't want her stressing herself about weight loss.
Then came the excuses:
Who would stay with the kids?
Who would prepare breakfast?
Who would get kids ready for school?
As we talked, it became obvious that every possible solution had already been dismissed.
Ironically, months later she told me how she found out that her husband had been cheating on her with a much slimmer woman and how she no longer listens to his discouraging comments about keeping fit and that she has already gotten her Gym membership card already.
So sometimes, these women are intentional about keeping fit but most times their husbands do not actively support them and even go ahead to deceive them with “honey I like you just the way you are” only to go cheat with a woman with a completely different body type. 🤦🏽♀️
The trigger has been removed.
The person causing the stress has left their lives. This reduces cortisol and it’s easier for her to stop stress eating amongst other things.
You people underestimate the effect a ‘bad’ partner can have on a person.
