My girlfriend is a bit overweight...The only reason I say that is because she tells me this.
My girlfriend is around 5'6 and 155-160...When we first got togather a year and a half ago she was more like 145 - but at the time she was comming out of a "depressed-like" stage. She attributes some of the wieght gain due to starting to take birth control. Now don't get me wrong, I love her, think shes hot, and have no problem with her reguardless of her size. Every time we go shopping she complains that she can't find anything in her size because all the cute stuff dosen't fit her, then she starts talking about wanting to start jogging and loose a few pounds. Here is where I come in, how do I encourage her? Every month this topic arises again - every month the last whole year, and she says shell make time for it and all, but she ends up flaking on herself...Is it my territory to help her reach her goals, or should I step back and let her handle it? If I am supposed to encourage her, how do I do it without commenting on her weight? In addition to this she has like the worst diet ever, no balanced meals, fast food, and lots of soda. How do I show her my support, and encourage her?
Honestly speaking, I love her if she was 100 pounds or even if she was 200 pounds....but I would rather see her at a more healthy weight.
