1. How fat is fat?
Let's break this down, there's the could lose 5 lbs fat, chubby fat, and fat fat. I find that for me if i'm in the 'could lose 5 lbs' zone...it's visible, as in less flattering of a figure. But it's not FAT. all it takes is a week or even less of slightly more exercise/less junk food. If that's where you're at, which is what it sounds like to be...or even not [110 is my dream], you have nothing to worry about. You're NOT fat.
2. Diet suggestions? For keeping slim and trim/light weight loss, just cut a little bit of food here and there if you haven't got the time for exercise. I haven't either really, but maybe set aside one morning of the weekend to do a good jog. For a mroe dramatic amount, sorry, I don't believe this is right but everyone says the low carbs thing works. Erg.
3. Would you tell your other half that their getting fat(if they were)? Only if it was detrimental for their own well being as in...significant enough to pose as a health risk, or significant enough for insults from others leading to low self esteem. 5-10 lbs is nothing. Consider it as an early christmas weight and water weight
. Besides it's nice for snuggling when it's a little soft heeeee...
4. Would you want your lover to tell you that you were getting chunky? Mais biensur! [yes] It's not really neccesary for girls i dont think they're their own toughest critics, but i like to look good for me SO. Of course it has to be reasonable. Not like...grow some bigger boobies.
Finally, common sense, healthy eating, good exercise will always keep you from being fat. Your bf is entitled to his opinion but...calling you fat isn't accurate. It's more like you don't hold his idealistic visions of beauty influenced by skin mags and it's airbrushing. In which case a good smack across the face should get some sense back into him. Now go indulge in a big mac. You deserve it! ^-^
