My girlfriend has a medical excuse for everything she does and dosent do. i think its bull im a wrong?


Question:
my girlfriend is in the medical field and it seems like she has a medical excuse for everything and its quite annoying and discouraging. for example, im in really good shape but she is not. she is not very atheletic and hates exercise. when i try to give her rules or incourage her on getting in shape she just argues with me and gives me medical excuses. i tell her she has to do crunches to get her stomach more toned and she says her hips pop so she cant. i tell she cannot be getting up in the middle of the night and eating if she wants to loose weight. she tells me thats she believes she has low blood sugar and she cant sleep unless she eats. that one sounds like complete bull to me. what do you think? we go to jog, when i try give her incouragment to push herself further, she says she dosent sweat so her body overheats. i do try believe and listen to her reason but sometimes i cant. am i being insensitive or is she a little loony?

Answers:
I'm not too sure here but it does sound as though your gf doesn't want to exercise and enjoys eating.

Perhaps you need to try a different approach and not be so tough on her. Make it fun for her. It could be though that she will take care of herself when she is ready and not by being pushed.


Good luck!
She's acting ridiculous.
Ignore everything she says.
She is just a little twit that doesn't want to do anything.
You are completely right.
hypochondriac...i used to have a bad case of it.
What makes you think you have the right to lay down rules for your girlfriend? You are both adults and neither of you have any right to lay down rules for the other. She is not your child. Why can't you accept her the way she is? Why does she need to change for you? Maybe if you weren't so controlling and demanding, she would have no need for excuses.
Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%.

Chew each morsel at least 32 times. Do not touch articles of food or the cutlery in between. This will activate ur body to generate strong signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks (minimum 20 min duration) regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry. It is however to be noted that one cannot change the shape or size of different parts of the body.
Her hip pops - there is no movement across the hips to do crunchies, full sit-ups yes, but no need to do full sit-ups. Just crunchies. If her hip is popping while she while it is stationary it should be treated it would cause problems walking and running. "Popping" is often bursitis and can be treated. This is a lame excuse and has NO medical background.

Eating in the middle of the night with low blood sugar - if she believes she is hypo-glycemic then she should see a doctor as it can be a life threatening condition, further more she should be tested for diabetes. However, sugar addicts and people who eat for comfort DO feel withdrawl when not eating for long periods of time. If she really feels her blood sugars are an issue, then she should be on a proper diet to get it under control and a small glass of juice throughout the night would suffice to raise them again. If she needs more to feel good, she needs to see a doctor. This is a SHITE excuse.

She doesn't sweat - MANY woman for some unknown reason HATE to sweat. The go out of their way to NOT sweat. They often avoid sweating so much that they really need to push it to activating sweating in their body. Tell her to be sure she's hydrated properly, as dehydration can also be an issue. If she's over heating she can pour water on herself, tell her to carry a small bottle in her hand with her. If she was incapable of sweating this would also need some serious medical attention as she is likely to die of heat stroke in a heat-wave or with a fever. This is bull-o-nie.

You're not being insensitive or a jerk. She is not mentally ready to change so she will come up with reasons why she should not change until she gets to that level of decision making.

You could no more make her be healthy and fit now than you could make an alcoholic stop drinking. Both scenarios are only successful when the person decides they WANT the change, they are READY for the change and WILL make the change.

She's not loony, I see this all the time. Its normal, though to the rest of us, lame excuses hold no water to logic.

Keep encouraging her, take her to a doctor but don't force her. Hang in there and good luck.
