Lets Talk: BIG June 2013 | Page 3

Ask Bella

Elijah Asks: Bella, my wife keeps complaining about her weight, but I love the way she looks. When I tell her she looks great, she says I am, "Just saying that," because I have to. How can I convince her she is beautiful?

Bella: Elijah, you are one person in a world of many who possibly tell her (even just with facial expressions) differently. My suggestion is to take her to places where BIG is admired. There is no magic cure to make her see how beautiful she is, but you can keep giving her safe places to socialize and keep giving her the opportunity to change her idea of beauty. The size friendly events are all around the country at various times of the year. Some places even have local clubs that are friendly to all sizes.
