my boyfriend..

1

my boyfriend, of almost 8 months, is always telling me that i need to workout and lose weight. im 102 lbs, and just like everyone else, i have a tummy when i bend over.

he saw that and told me, “you need to work out” and i just looked at him and said, “im not fat.” and then he sat there for a few seconds, and then finally said, “you’re perfect the way you are.” but i feel like he’s lying.

everytime we’re out and about, he always looks at the “thicker” girls, and just is like disgusted. and most of the time, they arent even that big. theyre like the perfect size. he’s even getting a sticker for his car that says “no fat girls allowed” and that is like pressuring me to stay the way i am and not gain any weight, or to even lose weight.

i feel like in the future, if i am more than 150 lbs, hes going to look at me in disgust and lose complete interest in me. its not okay, what hes doing to me. right?

This is my opinion, but I think that he is a jerk. I mean, if he points out people that are even slightly "too fat" then he is the one with the problem. A guy should never tell a girl to work out unless the girl asks if she should. I'm not saying you guys should break up, I am just saying that he should not be doing this to you, or anyone.

I think as long as you are comfortable the way you are then he has no right to say that to you. Your boyfriend shouldn't make you feel anything but perfect and sexy and beautiful. He sounds like he doesn't understand the fact the girls come in every shape and size and he has no right to judge anyone based on their weight. Do what makes you happy and what makes you feel good.

Your boyfriend Is in the wrong. My suggestion would be to sit him down and have a long conversation about his issues with weight, because they are HIS issues. HE is the one being disgusted at others and HE is the one who makes you feel inadequate. Ask him how he honestly views you and tell him about your insecurities. Either he will repent and admit to being wrong or you will recognise that his attitude does not have your best interests at heart.

No it's not okay what he is doing. You are only 102 lbs, and yet he still thinks you need to work out? A lot of people have that small gut when we bend over. It's skin, not fat. When we bend forward, the skin has to go somewhere. so it usually bunches up. I'm sure if you bent backwards or stood straight, it disappears. You are perfect the way you are. Don't let him change you for misguided reasons. There is nothing wrong with you. And if he keeps pressuring you, he doesn't deserve you.

I don't want to offend you, but your boyfriend sounds like an ass. He should say that to you! He's supposed to love you whether you're 102lbs or 204lbs. As for his "No fat girls allowed" sticker, i'd rip it off. He doesn't deserve you, and clearly doesn't deserve anyone else if he's gonna be horrible to them like that. He shouldn't define you, or anyone for the size. You deserve better.
