What do you do when your girl tells you she's going on a diet

[pclstyle]

Repeating "why?" has proved ineffectual thus far.

She's like 5'3", 115 lbs, and to be honest, i like her figure a million times more than my ex, who was 5'7" 105 lbs

 

[HardcoreRobot]

deep fry some okra and shove it in her face

/diet

 

[meltdown75]

hmm - i would just say, "i sure as hell hope you're not doing it for me, because you know i love tapping that ass."

then i would try to hit it.

Ew.

So you mean she skips 3 meals a day? Like not eating for a day then just eating once the next day then not eating for a day? Do you mean she only eats 3 times a week? That is bad.

 

[Fritzo]

Tell her when you stop eating, your body goes into a "famine" mode where the motabolism slows down to conserve body fat. If she eats 4-6 small meals a day, she'll lose weight a lot faster (and it's more healthy).

 

[Scarpozzi]

Tell her to eat and then barf it back up. At least that way she can absorb some of the nutrients.....she can have her cake and eat it too....

 

[Accipiter22]

tell your girl this:


skipping meals slows your metabolism, so you lose weight....then as soon as you eat anything your body basically stores everything from thsoe meals, becuase it doesn't know when it'll get food again. It's counter productive

 

[Accipiter22]

wait 5 3 115???? that's not fat at all......I had a girlfriend who was like 5 2 100 and she was a size 00 for a while.......me thinks you meant your girlfriend is 3 5 115

 

[meltdown75]

did anyone see those anorexic twins on (forget which show it was - Extra?)?

damn. that is gross. they showed them trying to eat a strawberry and they were like, "OMG I HATE FOOD *whine*"... it was like a full meal to them! ahhhh! run!

i tell ya, women watch some lame-ass television shows sometimes. and when you're stuck on the couch and are too lazy to move... it SUCKS

lol


seriously though....5 3 115 isn't even thick really.... using a lbs./inch formula she's the equivalent of a 5 10 girl weighing 127 lbs....

You need to sit down and have a talk with her.

She's going to be a very unhealthly person soon if just sit back and let her do this to herself.

I would personally threaten to leave her if explaining things to her doesn't do anything. She obviously can't make healthy decisions if she chooses to do this.

 

[Tiamat]

tell her that you really like her the way she is. Also, cook for her. If you dont know how to cook, learn. It would be rude if she didnt eat your cooking.

 

[randomlinh]

wow. just wow.

 

[gigapet]

tell her she is stupid but realize you cannot treat her like a baby.

 

[Azraele]

Skipping meals is unhealthy. You need to get her to sit down and have a serious talk.

Yes, but, you also have to add in her breast size and bone structure (small/medium/big).

I personally am 5'6" 135lbs, but i have big bones and a large chest. I wouldn't dream of losing any weight.

As mentioned, skipping meals is the worst thing you can do to lose weight. Its best to eat 5-6 small meals during the day. But if she insists on skipping, she should at least drink a protein shake or something.

 

[EvilYoda]

Any girl stupid enough to take on a diet like that isn't worth keeping around...it's just not that hard to see why that kind of diet could be bad for you. Granted, I'm very honest with my g/f's, good or bad.

 

[dawnbug]

If you don't already, reassure her that you think she looks good.

And make sure she knows what everybody else has said-- that skipping meals is uneffective. When your body goes into starvation mode, you start burning muscle instead of carbs/fat, and her body will turn food she eats more quickly into fat since it doesn't know when it'll get more food... so she's going to be losing muscle, gaining fat, feeling horrible, slowing down her metabolism, possibly screwing up her reproductive systems... and generally just being super unhealthy.

I didn't like any of your poll options, by the way.

 

[spacejamz]

a blonde goes into the doctor's office to get some advice on how to best lose some weight...the doctor tells her to eat healthy a diet every day and to exercise one day, skip the next day and then exercise again the following day...

she comes back in two weeks and the doctor is amazed that she lost about 30 pounds...when he asks how she did it, she replies, "I did everything you told me do to, but I though I was gonna die skipping all day between my exercise days...."

 

[xgsound]

It looks like we at AT think this is a terrible idea , but she doesn't yet. This is probably the best way to end up at 300 lb if the process is repeated over years.

Understand that people will routinely lie and think nothing of it when they are pressured about diets, sex or drugs because they think it's none of your business (and it isn't). With that in mind, think up very good arguments to use on rare occasions.

In the meantime, let her know you like how she looks.
