My partner never thinks I'm thin enough!

Doesn't that judgment make you mad? Who do they think they are? What do they think they are - perfect! Not! Let me tell you the ways they should change to meet my expectations.

Hi Ladies, have you ever experienced this no-win cycle? What I think often happens is that your partner is projecting their inadequacies on you. (Now ladies, don't go use this as you defense in an argument.) What they are saying/thinking is a judgment rooted in their past beliefs, society's beliefs, and what TV and the movies tell us we should be like.

Real Men... 

do they exist?

Don't you know that in our society 'real' men have beautiful wives and 2.5 kids, drive shiny sports car, and sit in front of TV enjoying sports. Now, real men also have six-pack abs. How many real men to you know? There are very few 'real' men in the world!

Unfortunately, too often our husbands want us to be their 'beautiful' little woman. Yes, that makes me sick to my stomach.

You Set Your Standards with 

your irresistible definition of you

Now, there are times when being in better condition is better for our health. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about trophy women or maybe even the ones that weigh less than trophies.

I suggest that rather than focusing on idea that your partner never thinks you are thin enough that you focus on defining what your irresistible definition of the inner you is. Sit in a quiet place, put on some thought provoking instrumental music and day dream about you. But, here's the key daydream in metaphors not about concrete people, places or things. Using metaphors keeps your ego out of the game, and this is one game where you want to bench your ego. Believe me it has center stage enough.

A Flaw in His Character Not Yours 

Here's why - you can not change what your partner thinks or wants. He might always think that you're not thin enough. That's a flaw in his character not yours. And you can't change him so don't waste your time. Changing is up to them.

What you can do is be happy within yourself. Live your life from a place of inner peace. And, you might be amazed at how your husband reacts. When you know the irresistible definition of the inner you and live from that place, you'll live healthier and happier no matter what your weight.
