Is it normal that i want to dump my girlfriend b/c shes getting fat?

we've been together for 1 year and she completely let herself go. She used to be slim and fit, now she just stuffs her face with a staple diet of Cheetos, cupcakes, and 2 liter sodas. It is sickening to be around her when she plants herself in front of the tv and eats the night away...night after night. She'll complain about "getting fat" and go on a brisk walk...to the kitchen.

I don't mind a healthy average sized girl but things are going south very fast. Im looking for a girl that respects herself.

    dont listen to these people.

    if you care about her ask her whjats bothering her. sounds like shes depressed. suggest and stock her up on better foods and water. make it a fun project and work out together. get her out of the house. it will get your ass up too. that is if you CARE about this chic and want to be with her.

    or if your having other issues besides her weight, re evaluate the relationship and do whta you have too.

    so both of you get off your asses and get to the gym! (im going now)

    I had a very similiar situation, what I did was use my *own* image as an excuse to ask her to motivate me, its a very good way to get her to go excercise with you (you better be willing to go for walks and stuff otherwise your no better). If you start complaining about your own image (regardless if your in shape or not), it can make her reevalute herself without being offended or insecure, if you care about her and want it to work, this is the sweetest thing you can do, as you go on walks everyday, start complimenting her, even if nothing has changed, the positive reassurance that the effort is giving some results will give her some self worth, and give her more motivation to *keep* trying to lose weight. The trick is to make her feel good about herself, if u make her feel gross she's gonna get depressed and eat even more,

    I could see your point, I am a chick too... thats really strange.... because whenever I am around my boyfriend or a guy I like, I try my best to improve my appearance. I guess she feels that since she already has someone, that it's okay to let herself go. When I am in a relationship with someone, that makes me about 10 times more resilient with my exercise and eating regimen... maybe you should stock the house with healthy foods, and urge her to go on a 'brisk walk' with you. Or... if it bothers you that much... break up with her.

    Yes you should dump her because she deserves someone a lot better than you

    Who cares if it's wrong? She doesn't have enough respect for herself or you to want to look good for both her and you, so dump her, and she'll lose the weight, because it's the first thing all women (and some men) do when they lose their significant other.

    Woww. I've never heard of a girl who doesn't just outright ask you if she's fat! I'm around 107lb and I still ask my husband sometimes if he thinks I'm getting fat...

    From the title I initially said "shallow" but your description clears it. It's not so much her physical appearance as her lack of motivation and personality change. Break up with her and tell her why. Or just tell her and see if she changes. Word it right tho.

    My dad dumped a girl he actually liked quite a bit because of that...It's embarassing to be seen with that kind of person in public, mean as it is, it's true.It's unhealthy to expose yourself to a person with no self-control like that...Oh well, maybe give her a hint or something more obvious as a chance before letting her go.

    She would probably prefer a man who respects HER. How convenient!!

    Well, break up with her. Don't tell her because Shes getting fat. Just tell her you don't feel the same. It's kinda gross, I see where your coming from. It's hard to feel attracted to someone who stuffs their face then complain about being fat. It's like.. STOP EATING THEN FATTY!

  • Be a good human-being and help her get healthy. If she doesn't want to get healthy, then leave her.

    OMG some of you guys are mean LOL I think you should tell her that she's gained a few pounds you still care about her but you don't feel the same way about her anymore and if she'd be willing to join a gym and start eating better in order to save the relationship she'll be hurt I'm sure but if she wants to be with you enough she'll go on a diet if she's not prepared to go back to her original physique slim and sexy dump her
