What do i do?
I have dealt with this situation before. There are several things you can do.
1. Be blunt, and agree when she asks you "have i gained weight?"
- The response will be bad. She will not work on changing herself. If she by chance does, she will resent it, and leave you.
2. If the conversation comes up, refer to "health" and say you are concerned that she not go down the unhealthy path because her future is at stake and that you would be worried for her if she ends up unhealthy.
- Usually this will give the results you seek. She will recognize that its a serious problem health wise, and proactively try to change it, without harboring negative feelings towards you because you emphasized caring. But it may take some time to initiate the change in lifestyle and motivation.
3. If number 2 fails to bring results or changes, start being slightly flirty to her skinnier (or hotter) friends, or your skinner (or hotter) friends.
- Girls are jealous, and she will recognize that she may indeed lose you if things dont change.
Generally speaking, weight gain is usually a sign of a problem, either emotionally or physically. Stress, certain medications, hormonal changes, depression, worrying, guilt, sadness, lack of physical activity, lack of sound sleep, not enough water, too high of a calorie intake, etc. If you can pinpoint the cause of it (which sometimes can be very difficult if things overlap) then there is a better chance of reversing it.
