    He said in his post she has put on weight. Why lie when there are many other not lying answers that are much better?

      She was underweight before because she hardly ate anything. She’s way better now. But some people comment on her change of weight because they compare it to how she was before.

        When she was under weight, just tell her she looks a lot healtier then she did and most importantly that you like her no matter what.

        With humans it’s just like with other animals, you shouldn’t be able to see the ribs, you need to be able to feel them, just. (You can go hunt for them and tickle her to prove it ;) )

      Has gained weight is different than is fat.

      She could have gone from 97lbs to 98lbs. Gained weight, but not fat.

      It’s not lying. Fat and overweight mean different things in this context. Fat is a pejorative word, carrying a negative connotation. Overweight is a statement of fact

      The gf isn’t saying, “I’m fat,” as an acknowledgement of her weight being over the recommended bmi, she’s actually saying, “I’ve gained weight, and I feel ugly and I’m concerned you won’t be attracted to me anymore.”
