I Just Want a Great Guy, Dammit!
Your
Physical and Emotional Dating Health
How specific is your wish list for the ideal
man? Tall, dark and handsome? Six pack abs and glistening suntan
skin? Strong silent type? You have in mind a guy who looks
great and has a solid sense of self respect.
If that’s the man you want, what do you have to offer in return?
A guy who values his physical and emotional well-being is going
to want the same in his woman. Don’t rush out and buy crazy
diet pills and running shoes.
Physical
health isn’t about being a size 2. Being physically
healthy is not and never was a dress size. Physical health
is getting your body in the right proportions so that it functions
for optimal health.
The worst thing a woman can do to herself is to start a ridiculously
restrictive or fad diet to lose down to a target dress size.
The only “size” that matters is to be within the range of the
Body Mass Index (BMI) that matches your height because that’s
when you feel your best.
When you achieve that weight range, then your body functions
better and you have the added bonus of looking great. That’s
a far better goal than picking a size or weight. Once you reach
the optimal BMI, your body will practically be screaming for
activity.
Exercise won’t be a chore - it will be a pleasure – a healthy
release for all your pent-up energy. A healthy body is an active
body. If you want your man to be buff and trim, then you’ll
want to look like his girlfriend, not his mother.
A man who is self-assured and goal oriented is looking for
those qualities in a woman. He’s not dating you to be your
therapist (even if he is a therapist) or your shoulder to cry
on (that’s why we need girlfriends).
The kind of man who is emotionally healthy is looking for
that same emotional maturity in a woman. If one person in the
relationship isn’t emotionally healthy, then that person drags
down the relationship.
You
have to be able to live with yourself before you can expect
a man to be able to live with you. Take a personal inventory
right now. Are you overweight? A whopping 67% of Americans
are dangerously overweight, so you aren’t alone.
Are you easily distressed, burned out or depressed? Emotional
problems are also common and depression is more common among
women than men. If you’re being held back by weight or emotional
problems, then you have to deal with it before you’re ready
to form a lasting relationship.
Think about some of the decisions you’ve made when you were
unhappy with yourself. If you don’t believe it, go to your
closet and pull out the “I give up dress.” You know, it’s the
dress that you wear when you feel crummy and don’t care what
anybody thinks about how you look.
In that same state of mind or body, you’ll pick a guy who
is the “I give up relationship.” He won’t be the life partner
that you long to find. He may cling to you out of his distresses,
but he won’t lift you out of your own problems. Only you can
do that.
