Hi everyone... I think most of my mylot friends know that i am about to get married and it is completely arranged marriage (I mean my parent choose her and later i was agree with their choice). Now, we (me and my fiance) are trying to build a great relationship over phone (although i have met her one or two times still date in person). Well, she often tells me about my health. I mean she suggests me to join a gym (i have no time as to leave home at 5:30am and reach at 7:30pm) and do some exercise to have a handsome figure. Is it possible, you mylotters? I am thin in built and this figure of mine is owned from my childhood. So why she seeks a healthy person? (i am healthy as i am and no disease at all although i am thin). I am in dilemma. why she asks me to be healthier? N.B.:- this avatar i have loaded to let you know about my complete figure. Yeah, i am disappointed now. Can u help?

hi shiby, I think she better look for someone who has a body built like Aamir Khan or Hrithik Roshan, Or maybe she wanted to have someone like Suhas Khamkar . Well if you really love someone you better accept him/her, if she don't think you are not healthy you can both go to a doctor and do some medical test . By the way just curious do you really need to tell everytime that your marriage is an arrange one? happy mylotting

Hi Shibha first I would like you to congratulate to find the right girl now to get married. She is caring you so much and want you to see as good looking. Discuss about it to her and make your points clear what you can do and which is not possible. But in the same time, both have to give up and work together to get a happy long married life. Best wishes.

At first my heartiest wishes to your newly married life. Be happy always dear viji. Now, thanks for your wishes. Yeah, she is caring and sometimes it bothers me as it appears as over caring.lol. I am ready make her happy as what i am now, so i think she should not think a lot about my physique, right? Thanks again and have a nice time.

You are welcomed viji. It may be, i mean someone has commented about me in front of her and that is why she is suggesting me. It really teases me, you know. If she really loves me, then why she should consider other's comments. There are many comments to me too against her but i have already ignored all of them. There are some poisonous person in case of a relationship. An arranged marriage is all concerned about it. Take care.

Thanks Shibha. :-) She is caring because she has to. Are you loving her? Then why do you think it is too much caring? May be some would have commented about your physique and it would be the reason for her to comment. So just talk to her and try to understand her or just explain about you to her. You both have to know about each other and have to love each other.

Here most people gain weight and get a little fat once they get married. Maybe she wants to prevent that. You have very long days if you leave so early and return so late. Maybe you can just carry some small weights or fitness bands on the transport (bus or train) to work, and work out there. Or not. Nothing to be disappointed about you look fine to me. Thin people are healthier than fat people. Someone else mentioned that if you build lots of muscle by going to the gym and then stop you are likely to turn to all fat. You are fine the way you are.

Hi garden... yes, you are right. some people have said me the same that people gain weight after marriage. I am waiting to that time too.. Nope, i do think so, if she is concerned about that, i mean to prevent me from being fat after marriage, then why she is asking me to gain weight now? It is all puzzling. I would not ever be disappointed if the person was someone else. I have no time to visit gym, uhhh... have a nice time.

N.B.:- this avatar i have loaded to let you know about my complete figure. Yeah, i am disappointed now. Can u help? -You are disappointed now? Do you mean, that is enough reason for to think if the wedding should be pursue or not? duh?!!!!! In my wild guess, she just want you to have a good body built- like a HUNK. So, there is nothing wrong with it. Fine, you are thin but healthy, however, that is not what she meant for asking you to join gym and do some exercise. She wants you to have some muscles- and abs

She wants you to have some muscles- and abs Di Watching too many Bollywood flicks of late! maybe finding the right dress and costumes to wear at the different ceremonies of mamus marriage Okay, what abs would be fine for mamu? the 6-pack(ra.one) or the 8-pack(ghajini)?

6 pack is fine, but if he can achieve those like "Ghaijini" uh...no, not Ghajini but "Sanjay" right, because Ghajini is the villain.

Hi didi... I never mean that but it strikes me sometimes. I dont know why people often speaks to me that i am thin and my mom too. I never considered it but when she told me it several times, it really strikes on my mind. I dont know why? May be didi. She wish to have some muscles on me. No abs. oh. It annoys me mamu. Neither i wish to have like 'ghajini' nor 'raone'. have a nice time.

Hiya shibs, Be yourself as you are and no other. If you don´t want that kind of figure then don´t have one. She is perhaps concerned about you thats all? Concern or not it is entirely up to you what kind of figure you have your figure is yours and belongs to no one else you have to live with it. With you being healthy I would not let it worry you much its perhaps a passing thing with her and later on she may not bother at all. Leave your dilemma on one side and just be you what else can I say. Thesids is funny what he says lol. You are as you are shibs true you might be able to gain a bit of weight but if you are anything like me you have a hard time keeping the weight on. No fear she will love you for what you are. Your Mom is likely to say that she worries about you that´s all so just listen but don´t listen see what I mean my kids do that anyway they seem to listen but they don´t listen at all really lol.xxx

You are right. I am worried myself but she has no complain anymore. Yesterday i went to her home asking the permission of her mom. Then we both stood in front of a full size mirror where i was seemed so thin comparing to her. When i objected, she told me to take enough food and healthy nutrition where as she was thinking and expressing that she wishes to loss some weight and extra fats. have a nice time.

Hiya shibs, Don´t fret so about your weight remember millions of people would give the World to be thin. A lot of people have weight problems that they cannot seem to correct no matter what. For instance if you were not tall and you had the same weight you would get the impression that you were not thin all depends on the build. Be happy as you are if you can. All the stress of travelling really far most Days of the Week can take it out on you as well and keep your weight down on the other hand the stress would make some people gain weight it all depends again. I know being slim is not much fun when everyone around you points it out all the time that you are much thinner than them I have been through that. When I was able to relax more and life was getting less stressful I gained a bit of weight and it suited me too but I don´t know I did get a bit worried but seeing as they said I was very healthy I just left it at that. Trouble is with extra weight the more you fret about it the the more you notice it and actually you can gain more weight because of that. I think you will both settle with how you each are from how I see it looking at it all from a distance you both need time and the time that maybe you will or will not give it. Just take your time with everything in other words. Can´t think of any other to say it that´s all.xxx

Healthy probl. looks to her the same as being big or .. Well you ask her how according to her a healthy person should look like. Since she is mentioning the gym I don't think she means healthy in the way of being not sick but looking like a sportsman. A thin guy is not exactly looking like a sportsman. You probably have no bicepts/triceps etc. You can work on that even without visiting a gym by lifting etc after you wake up or are back home for 30 min till 1 hour. Plenty of excersice you can do, incl. running etc. The internet is full of it. BTW she is not asking you to be healthier she is asking you to look better. She doesn't like the way you look like. A thiny guy is not really the kind of guy you can show off with.

Hi kitty... For her, a person should be healthy and perhaps muscled(i assume). Yeah, i do think so, she wishes that i should gain some weight and muscle. Well, i can gain weight by dieting but cant be muscled as i have no time to go gym. I do work at home, in garden, not a sleepy person in holidays. Although i dont do exercises but do labor which is enough to have an exercise. Hmmm..., i do think the same again. have a nice time.

There can be one reason behind this. That is to make you a healthier and stronger person before getting married. I am not sure whether you agree with me or not. At least I think so. But anyway I wish you to enjoy a happy relationship with your fiance. Take care.

hi shibham my husband was slim and he exercised a lot and was very healthy when we married. But sadly he ruined his health finally by smoking a lot and never quitting. I would think your fiancee would be happy to know you are really healthy in this day and age when so many are overweight.You do not have to join a gym to be healthy.eat well and exercise the normal way you should be fine, If you like my husband have been slim from birth I do not see how bulking you up is going to make you more healthy. Your slim body build is probably there to stay and the only advantage would be to make you a bit more muscular but thats all.She needs to become more at ease and accept you as you are.There is nothing wrong with being slim. You two need to go on some more dates so she can get used to you being slender.I just do not see any good reason for you to try to be what you are not

Maybe when you are married you can both do exercise together. Just because you are thin doesn't mean you are healthy. It sounds like you work alot and may have a lot of stress, this can cause a heart attack even in a thin person, exercise is a great way to releave stress. It sounds like she has your well fare at heart which is a good thing at the begining of a relationship. Blessing

Tell your fiancee that you are happy with the way you look. There is nothing much that you can do about it since it seems to be a genetic thing. I think the most important thing is that you are still healthy even if you are thin.

I was always very thing until I hit my mid 30s and then started putting on a bit more weight. I was very active and even did weight lifting for a while, but still I didn't put weight on at all. I just accepted that that was the way I had been born and quite worrying about it. I feel that if we fight the way we are, then we are just adding extra stress to our lives. When we accept ourselves the way we are, then we can be happier with ourselves and gain more confidence. _Derek

Hi derek... I am the same thin from my childhood. No up no low. I played cricket on my school days and was active on martial arts. As you i born as a slim guy, hence nothing can change me even gym too, i think. I do accept and happy with whatever i am now as i have no health related issue, but her concern makes me disappointed sometimes. have a nice time.

If that's you in the picture, I don't think you're really that thin. Maybe your fiance just wants you to have a hunkier body. But if you really want to be macho and all that, you gotta start working out. If you don't have time to join a gym, then maybe you can buy some equipment and you can use it conveniently at home.

You don't look all too thin, i think you are just healthy as you are. You should ask her why she thinks you are not healthy. You have been eating the right food right? A balanced diet with fruits and vegetables and protein and carbs? If that is your situation, there's nothing to change.

Hi shibham, She is absolutely right to be worried about your being healthy. She must have thought since you are thin you are probably having some health issues. Since you are already on the way to become a good man by quitting your bad habits, naturally you might gain some weight and no need for gym or 6 abs or 8 abs. but you can have some diet to gain weight. Also you should be having a healthy meals/food. Make sure to tell her you are waiting for her to join you so both can do the exercises together. Earlier you spoke about her being too healthy.

Hi viju... I have no health related issue unless seasonal cold. And i have told her already about it. I have already lessened all those and stopped some of them for ever. I am thinking to diet and you know, i did not do breakfast earlier but now i take rice at 9:30am as far as i can but my launch and breakfast are done at hotel. It may be a reason that i dont get the proper nutrition. Yes she is more healthy than me. Have a nice time.

Can't you make an agreement with her? Like you will start working out if she starts exercising too. If I remember well she is on the chubbier side herself, so maybe the difference bothers her. Some women feel safer with strongly built guys, but I have seen many slimmer guys being much more protective. Judging from your avatar you look fine and not thin. It really has nothing to do with health, if you are not overweight, that actually protects you from a lot of diseases. Maybe you can discuss it with your fiance and make a plan for a healthy lifestyle that both of you follow.

I know that some women feel safer with hunky guys but as you have said that slim guys are also protective, and i can giver assurance about it that i can take care of her from all sides. You have a nice idea. she called me just at the middle of this comment and i just cut the phone telling her that i am busy with her advices.lol have a nice time.
