Girls are very pressured to be skinny and look a certain way. I can understand where your girlfriend is coming from. I myself am guilty of thinking much the same way. Weight is just such an issue now. I have a very loving boyfriend though that when I told him I was down about gaining a few pounds he was like "Wait..you did?". He didn't even notice and he told me repeatedly that he thought I was beautiful, so I can also see your side of it. Though his reassurance did cheer me up it also didn't make me completely forget about it. It still bothers me. It's hard to explain to a guy, I guess.
