Love Handles, Happy Fat, and a Relationship


Lets face it guys, you got a good thing going on with this girl. However those two words are slowly creeping up on you. "Happy Fat." It's pretty well known by now that its not exactly a myth. So here are some tips and some guidelines that will not only help you stay in shape, but keep your relationship healthy too.

Don't get Lazy


If you're finding yourself missing out on your workouts and skimping on your diet then these might be some early signs of getting comfortable. Take a step back and think about how long it's been since the last time you went to the gym or about what you had for dinner last night because it was a restaurant that she wanted to try. Get back in the game and start getting back in the routine of going to the gym. Set some alarms or reminders on your phone. The technology is there- use it. Believe me she will notice that you're staying fit. Keeping your own body in shape will show her that you have drive and determination to get things done and taken care of. Most women like a man who knows what he wants and works hard to achieve it.

Don't Settle Just to Keep Her Happy


Remember that time when she wanted you to go out to the mall with her and she asked how you felt about shopping with her. Remember how you had a look on your face that said you didn't want to, but you told her you would and reassured her that you wanted to. Grow some balls and let her know how you feel. You have a life too. Just because you want to make sure she is happy doesn't mean you need to keep your opinion to yourself. Being honest about these types of situations is going to be better than telling a little white lie. Besides if you're concentrating so much on keeping her happy then you're more than likely going to end up being miserable. Which could end up leading to anxiety, depression, even the possibility of showing signs of being easily aggravated. Don't let this happen, because sooner or later lying about how you really feel will either become the unlikely truth or she will find out that you've been lying about it the whole time. And women like a man that they can trust so don't ruin it by keeping it to yourself. Communicate with her. She will appreciate you more in the long run.


Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Sexy


There are kudos to be earned here and by God you need all you can get. By staying in shape and staying limber and flexible your sex life is going to be better. Let's be honest: Good sex takes a toll on the body and you can get exhausted - quick. Stay in shape and keep the romance rolling. If you can concentrate more on pleasing her because your not getting tired as fast then you're only making the sex better, for you and for her. Not only will the sex be more enjoyable but if you're building your muscles and keeping them toned then she is going to be more attracted to you. Most women like a man who has some definition.

Turn Your Diet into a Dinner For Two 

 
Ask any woman how she feels about a man who can cook. Its attractive, its sexy, sometimes it just keeps them from doing the cooking. Stay away from eating out and become the health inspired chef that can give her some "Oral Orgasms." Sharing your diet with her will allow you to watch what you eat and even when you eat it and she can sit back and watch her man "whip something up in the kitchen." Don't hold back on wearing that apron either. Also keep in mind that your woman probably wont mind eating a low calorie meal either, as women tend to be more self-conscious about their weight than we are.
You can easily search for recipes that are under 500 calories and are still mouth watering and filling. Try this recipe from EatingWell.com.

Seared Steaks with Caramelized Onions & Gorgonzola

Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  2. 2 large onions, sliced (about 4 cups)
  3. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  4. 1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
  5. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  6. 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  7. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  8. 1 pound beef tenderloin (filet mignon) or sirloin steak, 1-1 1/4 inches thick, trimmed and cut into 4 steaks
  9. 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese
Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and brown sugar and cook, stirring often, until the onions are very tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add broth, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the liquid has almost evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the onions to a bowl; cover to keep warm. Clean and dry the pan.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper on both sides of each steak. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn them over and top with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the steaks are cooked to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Serve the steaks with the caramelized onions.

Do Activities Together


Just because you're trying to be healthy and in shape doesn't mean that you have to do it alone. Include her in some fun activities that both of you can enjoy. Let her see the things that you like to do, or try some new things that neither you or her have done. There are lots of inexpensive activities that the two of you should be able to do that are healthy and fun. Take her to a lake or a beach and go swimming, or for those of you in the colder weather, take up skiing or snowboarding. There is always hiking or bike riding as well. Even a jog or a walk through the neighborhood can be enjoyable. And keep in mind that walking and talking is a great way to get to know each other on a more in-depth level.
So take what I've given you today and apply it to your daily lifestyle. Try it out for a month and see how it works for you. You'll probably be surprised. However communication is key. You cant let her get the wrong ideas. Make sure she knows that you haven't done anything wrong or that your trying to avoid her or that there isn't something else going on. Keep it honest, and remember that if it doesn't work for this relationship, it can always work for the next one.
