Did you know that being overweight can kill your Love life? It's true! Obesity can cause a number of health problems that can lead to a decrease in libido and an inability to enjoy intimacy. In this blog post, we will discuss five ways that being overweight can kill your love life. We will also talk about how Life presents marriage and long-term relationships with lots of challenges, Desires and keeping the spark alive.



Five ways that being overweight can kill your sex life


1. Being overweight can cause hormonal imbalances that can lead to decreased libido


2. Being overweight can cause physical problems such as pain during sex, difficulty getting aroused, and difficulty reaching orgasm


3. Obesity and overweight people, can also suffer from psychological problems such as body image issues, low self-esteem, and depression. All of these can lead to a decrease in libido


4. Being overweight can also lead to cardiovascular problems that can make your love life more difficult and less enjoyable


5. Finally, obesity can lead to erectile dysfunction in men and anorgasmia in women



Challenges


“Life presents marriage and long-term relationships with lots of challenges, many beyond our control. However, there are plenty within our control, including our weight. Foolish financial decisions, laziness around household chores, poor career choices, irresponsible drinking or gambling habits or domestic abuse can all challenge a relationship. Yet is it a little taboo to talk about how weight gain can challenge the health and sexual relationship as time goes on? One of the key challenges facing clients coming to see me about their weight gain is maintaining a long-term intimate relationship.



Desires


are a natural part of who we are


We all have needs and desires. We get married promising to love our partners for their heads and hearts but the physical body is part of the commitment and can so easily be forgotten.


It may sound superficial, but without the bond of intimacy knock on effects can be catastrophic as resentment takes hold and closeness disappears. I see first-hand the hurt and devastation this can cause.


“In a loving relationship I believe physical attraction and sexual compatibility is often taken for granted – with the assumption there’s no need to work at it. The love can remain


over time but the sexual desire often fades, especially for women.”




So what can you do to kindle the flames of passion and keep that sexual spark alive? Below are some suggestions:

- Talk about your desires with your partner


- Make time for intimacy


- Be creative and playful


- Be present during sex


- Try something new


How losing weight will improve your love life


The love life of an overweight person is likely to be underperforming. Their self-esteem will have taken a battering, they may have lost confidence in their attractiveness and feel they no longer ‘measure up’. They are more likely to suffer from depression and this can lead to a loss of libido.


Obesity is a major factor in erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. In fact, it is thought that over 50% of men with ED are obese. Obesity can also lead to anorgasmia in women – the inability to reach orgasm


The good news is that losing weight will help to improve your love life. As you lose weight, you will begin to feel better about yourself. You will have more energy and you will be able to enjoy physical activity more. This will lead to improved cardiovascular health and increased libido. Solution focused hypnotherapy can help you to lose weight quickly and effectively, without the need for fad diets or surgery.


What is solution focused hypnotherapy and can help with weight loss?


Solution focused hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that helps people focus on solutions rather than problems. This type of therapy can be very helpful for people who are struggling with their weight. Solution focused hypnotherapy can help you make changes to your lifestyle that will lead to sustainable weight loss. Hypnotherapy can also help you address the psychological fears or issues that may be contributing to your low libido, negative self-image or lack of confidence in and out the bedroom.
