My girlfriend thinks she's fat
Of course, every girl thinks she's fat sometimes, so maybe a general guideline can be provided. My girlfriend, specifically, thinks she's fat ALL the time. I can state with 100% certainty that her stomach is flat, she's in good shape... really, her body is amazing (of course, I'm a tad biased). In fact, I'm so certain that she's the most beautiful girl I know that I get extremely frustrated when she's going on about her body. Today she skipped class because she "felt so fat that I didn't want anyone to see me." We have tension in our relationship sometimes because she gets in horribly depressed moods and I just don't know what to do or say to her.
My question is, how do I treat her when she's in one of these funks? Raving about her beauty hasn't done me any good, and neither has getting angry and going through a step-by-step dissection of why every negative opinion she has about her body is wrong (that one was dumb on my part). I just want her to feel better soon and do what I can to get her there.
