Girlfriend's weight


Question Posted Saturday August 26 2006, 10:46 pm

My girlfriends mother, well I don't really know how to explain it but she expects her to be perfect I guess. But, prefect when it comes to the way she looks. She lets her know when she's gaining weight, she doesn't let her eat past 8:30, she tells her if she looks like shit, etc.


The big thing her mom cares about though, is her weight. She's pretty thin (5'4 and WAS 118 lbs and she's a C cup so apparently those are heavier?) but her mom still constantly is on her case about it.


Well, I've recently noticed a drop in her weight. Clothes are getting bigger, she's buying smaller sizes, her waist is smaller, and her boobs (UGHHH!!). It seems like she's lost I don't know, 7 lbs? And I know the only reason she's losing the weight is because of her mother.


Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for her mom and she's like a mom to me as well, I'm just concerned about my girlfriend. Should I bring up the subject, or what?

YES! If it comes down to it her mom could her work your girlfriend over the top and she could become anorexic. Have you noticed her throwing food up right after eating it? Well if she did that is not good that means she needs to eat more it means she has come bulemic if she throwns up the food she just ate. I think you should definatly bring up the subject but do not yell at her mother or at your girlfriend for listening to her. You need to bring up the subject subtly. Or something you could to if you are to afraid that something might hapen to you bringing up the subject is you could have her sleep over and then give her some junk food and stuff. Because if she starts losing more weight her next road is anorexia or bulemia so you need to get help fast.

Well, you're in a sticky situation which sucks..*beep* erm anywhos. Your gf should be at least 120lbs and if shes about 111 lbs, she is underwieght by 9lbs yo and that's NOT healthy.

If she has dropped a lot of weight in a short time, that is very very unhealthy and bad for her. If she keeps that up she could develop eating disorders (Like exercising a lot more than she should and eating less or anorexia, bulimia, etc)

I would tlak with the mom but that's a no no. You should just talk to your gf. Tell her that you're worried about her lose of weight. Tell her that she was perfect before but now she's losing too much weight.
Your gf needs to talk with her mom about this too. I mean it is her body and her mom is getting too worked up about it lowering her daughters self esteem and confidence and steering her towards eating disorders =X

i think you should talk to your gf about it. yes you can't go against her mom & i wouldn't suggest trying to convince her mom not to. explain to your gf that she looks fine the way she is & that she should talk to her mom about it. it is their relationship. im not sure if her mom is overreacting about her weight, or just wants to make sure she's never overweight & unhealthy. i think she's being a bit extreme. ask your gf to talk to her about it. it would be the right thing to do, because its your gfs body. she should lose/gain weight as she wants.

-hope that helped!&hearts;
