Should I buy my girlfriend the dress she wants a couple sizes too small so that she'll lose weight?

No. If you have issues with her weight discuss them honestly- although be prepared for her to decide she is no longer interested in you. If you love her, you need to accept her as she is.

If she wants to lose weight, be supportive - but buying her a dress that's too small seems fairly passive-aggressive, not kind and loving.

That's an appalling question. Do you or do you not love her for who she is? This is absolutely a horrible idea.

Don't buy the dress. Instead, casually take out a photo from when you two started dating or whenever she was at a smaller size (if this is possible....because if she was always the size that she is now, then you'll have to figure out why the weight bothers you more now than before) and casually compliment her on how great she looked in that photo. If she's paying attention, she will probably realize that she looked much different before and will decide to lose weight and go a few sizes down on her own.

You can also start a brief workout routine and ask her if she'll join you. While it's best to accept a significant other as she or he is, that also doesn't make it OK for people to gain dozens of pounds and expect you to still be attracted to them anyway. A few pounds is one thing, but a drastic weight change is another story.

I don't know which category your girlfriend fits in so I cannot really help you there. Did she go from Halley Berry to Serena Williams or the post-marriage/post-motherhood version of Kimora Lee Simmons (which is not all that bad and maybe you should get over it) OR from Nicole Richie to Kirstie Alley (which may be a cause for concern...maybe she's depressed, or did you two have and babies? )?

The two suggestions here (workout routine or old photo compliments) are still better than buying a dress that's too small because if she can't wear it, then you've just wasted your money and she'll probably remain the same size. Weight does not matter to everyone, but if it matters to you, then it matters....bottom line. I don't think you're insensitive at all.

Pretty easy one here. NO! Seriously you will just be asking for trouble, plus why do you want her to loose weight?

Buying someone a hat doesn't make a bigger brain nor does it make anyone smarter. It wouldn't work anyway, she'd just tell you it doesn't fit and would ask you to return it to the store for the proper size. Unless you're brave and insensitive enough to actually tell her she needs to lose weight.

You have quite a bit to lose and nothing to gain. Don't do it. Not only is this passive aggressive; it's not going to work, either.

Even if it did, none of her other clothing would fit. Does she even want to lose weight? Even if she does, this isn't going to help.

If this is really important to you, why don't you work on your own personal fitness and try to inspire her to get involved along with you?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! Don''t do it. I Put down the credit card... turn around slowly and walk away from the shop.

Its really not a good idea at all, all you'll get is a resentment and a fight. If she doesn't pick up on the 'hint' to lose weight she'll think your a jerk for not knowing what size she is. If she does pick up on the 'hint' she'll think you're a jerk for trying a) calling her fat, and b) bullying her into losing weight by calling her fat.

The only time this would be acceptable (and safe for you) is if it is completely 100% her idea. Even a 0.0000001% hint from you will make you the 'jerk' so don't even consider it.

No. That would be a terrible insult. If keeping weight to the desired amount was as easy as just deciding to do it to fit into a certain dress size, everyone would be THIN!

The ability to lose weight is moderately difficult, but the ability to maintain ideal weight on a long term basis is extremely difficult and complex.

Ha a yong lady asked if her husband did just that I think youv been cught.

Not if you want her to stay your girlfriend for long.

This would be an example of playing "head games" with someone, trying to manipulate them through indirect action. I would let her know that you would like her to loose weight, and unless you have six pack abs you may want to frame it as a chance for the two of you to loose weight. Each of you can set fitness goals and try to keep each other honest.

My wife and I are doing this and we both like the results ^_^ If all of the above is agreeable perhaps you can each get an item once you have hit your fitness goals.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
