hypothetical question but what would you guys do if your healthy sized gf started to gain some weight.
i'm not talking about 2-3 pounds that can be attributed to a big meal, water weight, etc.
i'm talking major weight gainage, like 5+ pounds with no end in sight.

i feel it's wrong for me to stop her from eating the foods she likes, but i feel i have to step in at some point because it's just unhealthy.

would you just come out and say you're getting fat, stop eating, and order her salads with low fat dressing when you go out to eat?

more physical activities but not let her know she is getting exercise.

Make her think its more for you, but u want a work out buddy vs. its for her.
Share the pain, and u get less backlash.

Go out for walks more... do more activities which require less sitting on the couch.

I'd tell her to post in the correct forum.
Also, I'd help her deal with it by learning how to cook and exercise properly. I understand guys and girls need different things, but working together would still be a great idea.

I'd leave her alone about it. Maybe I'd encourage her to work out with me or something, but I want to have the luxury of putting on a few pounds unassailed myself if I want to. Can't expect that if I'm being a bitch to her about it.

Do the same thing she would do to you. Trade her in for a younger/more fit version.

Funny thing about that, unless your gf was tiny, is that you probably wouldn't notice a 5 pound weight gain.

I'd wait another 5lbs before letting her know she's gaining bulk weight and that she's packed on an alternator.

Just be thankful that she is not the type of woman to eat salad and water all day until her reception on her wedding day. (Damn I wish I could find a link to that benny hill clip)

take up some joint physical activities, go for walks together, etc.

or just ask her why she's been eating unhealthy lately and talk about it.

Be honest with her. If you two are close and love each other, a constructive conversation helps a lot.

Point her to all the fatophobic threads you've created here and tell her its you or her weight, one or the other, and watch her dump your @ss like she should. :p

lots of suggestions to take walks together. good advice.

she's blessed with good metabolism so she really doesn't have to work out to maintain her slim weight but i fear when she ages, it will slow down.

In the middle of the night: "Stop hogging the bed."
In the kitchen: "God damn it, who ate all the ____"

Constantly barrage her with subtle hints while not exposing yourself. :p

5lbs? Really? 5lbs?
Tell her to go to the bathroom (#2) and she'll lose half of it. Jeebus, what shallow, shallow world we live in.

Or in the bathroom: "damn who broke the scale again?"
