My girlfriend thinks she is fat but she is really thin. I keep telling her she isnt but she wont believe me?

Question

any tips on things to do?

Answer 1

FYI - Almost all women think they are fat. It's perfectly normal. Dont worry.

Answer 2

Maybe the 'fat' is in her face. Young women have nice fatty faces and dont start showing conture as much. Then when we get older boy do we wish we had that back!! hehe ;) Anyway,
so she's projecting the youthful chubby cheeks or square jawline on her face to the rest of her body. If she or you can see the ribs on her back real well....she's too skinny and probably needs some pshycological counseling. Or, she may just be going through a hormonal patch or she may need some self esteem and/or ego boosting. If she doesnt believe you...ask her....who does she trust? take care...peace!

Answer 3

She's obviously feeling very insecure with you. Perhaps she is worried if she puts any weight on at all you won't like it. Have you said without realising that you like 'thin' women best. Learn to tell her nice things about her other than how she looks. Tell her how smart she is, what lovely coloured eyes she has. Tell her good things about her like her personality and her sense of humour. Remember to say encouraging things regularly, not too often as it seems overdone. Most of all tell her your love her ... hoping that you do of course and not really going out with her for how she looks. Youth is good but remember age will come.. Good Luck with your relationship ... Always be honest.

Answer 4

Continue telling her shes not fat. if she doesn't believer you, there's a number of things you can do.
1. Give up.
2. Make sure someone else knows, like a doctor or something.
3. break up with her. (last one on list for reason)

Answer 5

Just tell her every day how beautiful she is and how sexy she is.
Even if she keeps saying that she is fat. Just keep telling her how beautiful and sexy she is. You'll mean it. I know it. You seem like the sweetest guy. You're a keeper! lol. but yea, a lot of woman think that they are fat even if they aren't. it's stupid yes I know, but it's normal. But Anorexia and Bulimia could be a factor. Just make sure she is eating and not vomiting.

Good Luck and God Bless!

Answer 6

women these days are expected to compete with lolipop models. who are anorexic looking and had big heads. there is so much pressure on women to be thin, your girlfriend doesn't have an eating disorder or anything like that does she. sounds like she just has a distorted image of herself and in her insecurity asks you for reassurance that she isn't fat. but if you feel that she has an eating disorder, which you should be able to tell, talk to her about it. communication seems to be few and far between these days. good luck.

Answer 7

you need to go ballistic on the issue...ask her why does she feel the need to be so thin...bring up stuff like..

You watch to much T.V.

Stop believing all that crap in the Magazines.

Why can't you like yourself for who you are.

Doesn't my feeling matter, how I think you look

You have to discredit all those super thin chicks you see on t.v.
Tell her you want a girl with confidence...and all she seems to have is low self esteem.

It should change her...
It worked on me.

Answer 8

I would just keep reassuring her she is beautiful but let her know that this unrealistic self concept is affecting you. If you can turn it around and make her realise that concerns more than just her, she may start to look at things differently. I would also just keep an eye that she is eating enough. Obsession leads to all kinds of unhealthy behaviour.

Answer 9

most women do think their fat lots of people have lots of little insecurities!! get her to focus on her good bits!! treat her like a princess compliment her on other things cuse if u compliment her overly on her weight she may start to think ur lying!! which probably isnt true!! but just keep her chin up and happy!!!

Answer 10

Just ask ppl in front of her whether she is fat or thin and she will know that she is thin..OR..make her stand on the weighing machine and she will see! Hope i helped!
