Weight! Now that one is a touchy subject. At least for me.
I personally hate the few curves that I have. Being a dancer, I have been guilty of envy over the flexibility and paper-thin bodies of the other ladies. Not that I'm fat to most people, mind you. I tend to wear leotards and sports bras in an attempt to hide my 32C and try to find shirts/pants that minimize my bum.
I have never had a SO tell me that I should gain a little weight, in fact, I have only heard that I'm "just right" or should "slim up" my thighs. My brother, on the other hand, tells me that I should weigh 10 lbs more than I do. I enjoy working out and consider myself an active person (avid mountain biker and backpacker as well as dancing). I have weighed in the 125lb range since age 11 (now 22), and am fairly well resigned to my body type.
I wouldn't worry too much about your gf. It's pretty standard for a woman to want to shed a few pounds here and there. Just keep being honest with her - tell her flat out that you love her the way and weight she is. Sometimes a woman likes to diet to feel in control of something in their life or to try to eat less junk food. Try to understand where she's coming from and keep up your good support.
