A woman’s weight is a subject most men would rather not bring up, but it shouldn’t be avoided. A man can provide a woman with invaluable encouragement if he understands how to listen to the meaning behind her words and then respond in a supportive way. Since women tend to be highly focused on their appearance,
men can be actively supportive by providing positive feedback, such as “You’ve lost some weight, and you look terrific!”or “I am so proud of how you are taking care of yourself.” And since some women have unrealistic expectations about how much they should weigh, men can help validate a more realistic weight and size with statements such as “Please don’t lose too much weight” or “You’ve reached a BMI of twenty-five—that’s terrific!”
