    You needn't bother, for with your attitude, she won't be your g/f for much longer.

    A little more info would be good! Has she always been overweight? Have you discussed her weight with her before? What do you class as "fat"?

    +1 if it's such an issue for you why don't you discuss it with her?

    Was she always "fat"?

    Ouch!
    I'm hoping it's for medical reasons & not your own personal gratification. If it is for health reasons then I'm sure she knows herself or at least her family/ doctor has brought up the suggestion.
    If it's for you then do her a favour & break up with her. She's probably going to be better off in the long run.

    I'm not surprised it's not working :eek:

    Honestly Christmas was three months ago, how much weight has she put on?

    Do you know what clothes size she was and is now?

    And why does it bother you so much?

    MotorwayTR, I suggest you lead by example and lose some of that weight you have on you.

    Actually the more you'ld tell her/force her to lose weight, the more she'll resist. Its human nature!!

    So they way to go is to ease off her back for a while.
    Then instead of attacking into her, walk with her. Don't go against her, but go with her.
    First you need to yourself set up an example before you start getting preachy.
    Start going to the gym regularly (if you don't already do so). Then you could try inviting her once. Maybe just for a swim or something. Say it's gonna be fun and you get bored in the pool by yourself.
    Then you've just gotta turn that once into another time and soon regular.
    She should start going to the gym regularly with you and once you get her hooked on exercise, she'll automatically start to lose weight and look after herself better.


    So yeah. This is the best way to get her to lose weight.


    And STOP CALLING HER FAT!!
    This will only make her resist you more. Remember when i said do go against her but walk with her... Yup. Thats what you've gotta do. So stop preaching her and forcing her to do something thats not in her to normally do. Cuz the more you do that, the more she'll resist you and the more she'll not do it... possibly even ever!

    Also i'm giving you this advise cuz I believe a person needs to look after their bodies and stay in good shape and health.
    Not for your personal gratification cuz you might be feeling a little ashamed to have a fat girlfriend!
