Is it normal that my boyfriend thinks i'm hot?

I don't find my self attractive due to my size. I am 18, about 250lbs, and am only 5"4'. I obviously am not skinny, but all of the other girls my boyfriend has been involved with were easily 120lbs and under. Any time he says someone is attractive that girl is super skinny and gorgeous. But yet, he still tells me he thinks I am the most gorgeous person ever blah blah blah... Is it normal to not believe him? Does it sound like he is telling the truth or am I paranoid?

    It sounds like your boyfriend is being honest about thinking you're beautiful. He doesn't have to be with you right? He chooses to :)! He may generally find something he's attracted to in thin women since you say he's had thin women in the past and still finds thin women attractive, but he sees your beauty too! I also think you probably have other things going for you!! No one is forcing him to be with you so I'd believe him :)

    Well, why would he be with you if he didn't see something he found attractive?

    5'4 is average height for a girl, it's not unattractive. I think you have hang-ups about your own weight and it doesn't seem an issue to him.

    But as respectfully as I can possibly say it, if your weight really is bothering you a lot, it's not set for life, you can change it.

    They might be attractive physically, but your boyfriend likes you for the person you are,not just your appearance.

    Some guys like bigger girls if you've found one that is genuinely into BBWs then enjoy it.

    It sounds like you're insecure about your weight, which is not your boyfriend's fault. He probably likes you because of who you are on the inside, so if you are really that concerned about your weight maybe you should take matters in your own hands and join a gym. Lose some weight so YOU feel attractive and don't need him to reassure you. Do it for you, and do it for your health because chances are this boyfriend won't last, especially if you are exposing him to your insecurities - something that is a universal turn off in all relationships.

    Just to clarify, I'm not saying only slim people can maintain relationships, I'm just saying you need to do something for yourself so you feel more comfortable in your own skin. Whether that's pursuing fitness or doing some soul searching and decided you're okay with being overweight - it's totally up to you.

    So yes, it's not normal to believe him, a man is obviously going to tell his partner what she wants to hear to spare her feelings - even if he is sincere he's not going to say anything that will damage your already fragile self esteem.

    Do you really need an answer to this question or are you just fishing for praise....

    Under 120 can be an equal worry, for me. I wish there wasn't so much issue round women's sizes. Trust that he loves you, unless you think there is a serious reason not to. Try and feel confident in that, and it may make him love you even more. From a health point of view though, coming down a bit from 250 would probably be a worthwhile medium term aim.

    Weight has never really been a deciding factor for me. If he's your boyfriend I think its safe to assume he is attracted to you.

    Trust him, but not that much.
