7 ways to Love your overweight Partner
Dear Editor,
I'm contacting you with a new story idea on how to love "all" of your overweight spouse or partner.
The big idea: Nagging is out, and TLC is in. If you want a bigger, better relationship with a "smaller" partner, then stop criticizing—and start caring.
The source: Rovenia Brock—"Dr. Ro" to most—is a leading expert on nutrition and fitness.
Named by More magazine as one of America's top-five nutritionists, she is a Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences and author of Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy (Bantam)—a best-seller praised as a top-ten diet book by USA Today.
The key messages: Dr. Ro—open and honest about her own overweight husband—shows how to help your partner "feel the love" and, slowly but surely, learn that good health is essential to a long, loving relationship. Other ideas and insights:
- Do's and don'ts for discussing your partner's weight
- What to do when the pounds are up—and the passion is down
- How to shop, cook, and eat when weight is an issue
- Seven kind and gentle ways to help your partner develop new habits
- Knowing when to push and when to pull back
If you'd like to learn more, I'd be happy to send a review copy of Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy or e-mail the how-to piece "Loving Your Overweight Partner: Seven Ways to Stop Criticizing—and Start Caring." Better yet, I can schedule an interview with Dr. Ro.
Regards,
Cathy Lewis
P.S. Dr. Ro and her husband, Dr. Murray Riggins, can also be interviewed together.
