She's far from fat, but you're not going to overcome a lifetime of conditioning overnight (no matter how tenderly or genuinely you go about it). Women are bombarded by images of stick-thin models parading around in clothes and swimsuits, and these are the images they emulate (even if on a subconscious level). Keep trying and let her know how much you appreciate her as often as you can.

i think 125 is perfect for her height. but if it means so much to her, she should start exercise and get back to 105. you can make her feel goodf by giving her compliments. random compliments and sexy clothes

She would have to really keep pumping iron very hard like one to two hours and day and have an 1500 tops calorie Limit per day. It might make her sick. However, even if she dropped 8 pounds, it might be enough for her to take off the clothes. If not, you might have to tell her that as much as you love her, she has to chose between being upset at herself and keeping you as a couple. She needs therapy perhaps. But to get 20 pounds off that frame would require her to be somewhat emaciated. It is actaully troo thin aqs a gorl becomes a woman. Also9m, if she has nioce boobs, they also carry a load.

The only thing that will cure this is working out. You can compliment her but as you've seen it has no effect. She needs to get her body where she wants it. If she's complaining about herself and refusing to take off her clothes then she needs to do something about it.
She may be using it as a way to avoid sex in general which is actually a common reason for female obesity and can often be linked to sexual abuse.
I suggest martial arts classes as a way for her to build self-esteem and get the body she wants.
If she won't do something to feel better about her body you need to decide of you can face a relationship without intimacy because even if she has sex with you, she won't enjoy it and seriously, who needs that?
Offer her practical solutions and keep telling her she's beautiful but if she can't change this your sex life will never improve. LOL

This is hard b/c usually when my bf tells me I'm beautiful then I feel beautiful. But what I would advise you to do is ask her (maybe when you two are lying next to each other) what she doesnt like about her body. Whatever she tells you, then kiss the area she hates. i.e. if its her stomach, lift up her shirt and kiss it. (hopefully you'll get a laugh) Then tell her that you love her stomach, or watever part she hates. It worked for me and it didnt matter much anymore bcuz as long as the one I loved, loved it then thats all that matters. He even suggested towork out with me on weekends. i hope either of those work for you

Well she has a problem with self esteem and a big one. It's a great thing that you are supportive and sweet to her. And please continue with that. Tell her that it's important how much she weighs but that she is healthy. You can tell her that if she really wants to loose a little weight she can do it the healthy way, eating a balanced diet and do exsercise.
105 pounds for 5'4 is too thin but if she gets started on a regime of a healthy diet and exercise she can achive a better body than what she at 105 thought was good!
Good luck!

ok, this is what you do, you say, the next time she complains, you tell her, "I don't see it, but I see that it bothers you, so we are going to do all we can to live the best healthiest life we can." "I will do whatever it takes to see that we get there, I will exercise with you, I will eat healthy foods with you, we will cook together and get in the best shape as we can, and all I ask for in return is that you plan the most passionate night you can for us, ok (when you reach your goal)?" How on Earth could she refuse that? Good luck!

It's a common issue. Especially for women who used to look better than they do now. Or who think they used to look better than they do now. Anyway. It's in her head. But reassuarance in action is the best you can do in my opinion. It's not gonna do her any good if you say that she's beautiful when she's upset at her looks at the moment. What helps is a wow here and there when she actually feels good.
Every time I start having body image problems, I say to myself "If he wants to get in bed with you, nevermind your fat, you can stress about it later. He thinks you're beatiful."
Another thing you could do is to help her to keep her dinners very light. Don't tempt her by taking her to reastaurants too often. Instead, get together and cook a healthy dinner that can be made light for her or a little more substantial for you (if needed).

That same thing happened to me almost exactly. Was 105lbs 6 months ago. Now 125lbs b/c of medication I had to take. I only felt better by exercising and starting to do something to make myself look the way I want to look. It doesn't hurt to tell her that you love her like she is, but she won't buy it unless she changes her perspective and accepts herself as she is.

WELL IT'S TRUE IF WE WERE ALWAYS A CERTAIN WEIGHT AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE BIT WE FEEL A LITTLE DOWN ABOUT IT. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE ARE FAT. BUT HONESTLY ALOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH SOCIETY. FAKE BOOBS, LIPO, TUMMY TUCKS ECT. THERE IS ALOT OF FAKE OUT THERE AND GUYS LOOK AT THESE WOMAN. AND THIS IS WHERE ALL THE INSECURITY COMES FROM.

According to her body mass index, her weight is exactly where it should be.. you can't help her.. she has to finds confidence from within. Just try to be supportive and if she isn't making any attempts to feel good about herself you need to tell her to get over herself. There is "I think I'm fat" and there is "I'm fat".. she's just bein a typical girl

actually that is how much is should weigh... sometimes girls feel that way b/c they are afraid what your really thinking about them... maybe she thinks she fat b/c she use to weigh so much less and gaining 20 pounds really bothers her and she just isn't use to the way her body is even tho it has been 2 yrs. keep telling her that she looks good and that her body is the best one she has ever seen... then she will feel better little by little just give it some time but don't' stop telling her how beautiful she is with or without clothes... the only way you can tell if she has and eating disorder is if you notice she never eats or hardly eats, her hair type will start changing as well as her skin just keep an eye on those things

If she is feeling bad about her body try suggesting doing a workout routine TOGETHER so that you both can get in shape. This will make her feel good about herself while loosing a few of her unwanted pounds.... still keep reminding her that she is beautiful.

I completely disagree with the people on here who suggest poking fun at skinny women. If it's not okay to make fun of overweight people, it should not be acceptable make fun of skinny people. That's childish and just as unhealthy as her self loathing.
Most, if not all women in our society struggle with body image to some degree. So unfortunately, her feelings are normal. However, her not wanting to make love with you anymore because of it is a little extreme.
We are always going to be our worst critics, let her know that first. I dont know how old she is, but no body is going to be as thin as they were when they were 20. That's life. But that's not a bad thing. AT 5'4 and as an adult, 125 should be the ideal weight. Let her know that .
I suggest she seek support from others who used to struggle w/ their body image like she is now.

it's pretty typical for women to be this way. I am 5' 2" and weigh 120lbs. I feel that I am fat but my hubby says no...I try to believe him.
she has to learn to accept herself as she is...and by the way, she is NOT fat by any means. Just keep reminding her.

I look pudgy at 125 but I'm 4'10. LOL. Just keep telling her she's gorgeous, don't ever tell her she's fat even if you are mad at her. Its too bad she doesn't feel good about herself, I know women 300lbs who have more confidence than I do.

She is perfect.
It is such a tragedy that the media messes with women's heads so badly.
At 105, her bones would have been sticking out all over, and she would have looked gross. About all you can do is point out other women occasionally--saying things like..."Wow, she looks dead! Give that girl a sandwich!"
Or "Why would a man want a woman who looks like a 12 year old boy? Thank God you have those sexy curves Iwe love so much!"

Were ALL like that especially after kids. Just keep reassuring her that she is beautiful. In the end tho it is up to her to realize and lover herself more. She is NOT at all pudgy - so don't listen to the dumb a$$ who wrote that above she's just jelous.

It's very common & it's hard to feel sexy when you're used to having low body fat. I'm not used to having any extra weight at all & it's disturbing. It sucks to look in the mirror, it sucks when your jeans don't fit, it sucks to see pictures & think IS THAT ME?
Girls that have always been thin find this highly disturbing. If I had been overweight since childhood maybe I would have accepted my body by now but that's not the case.
Trust me when I say that no amount of compliments will change her view of herself. She needs to get back to where she was. That's the only thing that will fix it. Don't keep crappy foods in the house, don't order takeout, offer to walk with her or get her a gym membership. She will not be free & open until she's happy with her weight again.
