Anyway to tell GF to gain a little weight?

[Pizzaman81]

She has lost a good amount of weight over time. Looking at the photos, her face really slimmed down and doesn't look as soft as before.

 

Anyway pretty much superficial, much like guys wanting to tell gf that they are getting fat. How do I let her know she looked better when she had more weight? Or should I just start feeding her more?

Might she have an eating disorder? Self-esteem issues with anorexia? If she has been overweight in the past, it is possible that she could be on an unhealthful track of taking it too far. I don't know. You'd know better. In any case, I can see it being problematic to get a women to put on some weight on purpose unless she's been prone to being skinny all her life and feels bad because she always been faulted for being too thin. Curious.

Express, in as loving a manner as you can, your concerns. ("Honey, you've been losing weight lately. Are you all right?") Tell her you found her attractive before, and that if she's doing this for you, she really doesn't have to, though it's a kind gesture. If she's doing it for her own health, well, it is her body and her choice. However, having been down the eating disorder road, watch her closely, especially if she still insists she needs to slim down.

 

Good food couldn't hurt, and if you're a great cook...

If she is at a healthy weight and is happy then you should put up and shut up.

Pretty much....

 

Is she denying herself to lose weight? If so, I might say something like "Life is too short to deny yourself the pleasure of good food. Enjoy!" and encourage her without focusing on the weight/appearance aspect.

How old is she? Many women's faces lean out in their thirties even if they maintain their weight. I liked it when that happened to me because I finally had cheekbones. If she doesn't have good bone structure, she might look gaunt. Tell her you would be willing to pay for fat injections, which are very popular among stars who want to avoid botox and surgery.
