My grilfriend has gained alot of weight. We met and started dating last year, both of our freshman years in college. She was 5 foot 3 inches tall slim and wore a size 2 jean. She eats alot and despite always going to the gym gained a little weight by the summer. She gained a little more over the summer and came to school this year with a size 4 waredrobe. This is still very slim but she was starting to soften up.
She wanted to lose the weight, and at the begining of this school year started going to the gym alot, even though she hated working out. I told her she didn't have to do that, that she looked great and the little extra weight looked good on her,which was true. She stoped going to the gym, went on the pill and this is when she really started to gain. She ate alot started wearing sweat pants all the time, and every now and then we would go shoping for a pair of jeans that fit.
Last night she tried to get into a pair of size 6 stretchble jeans and didn't come close. She was realy upset with how she has let herself go and stared asking me qustions like "How much weight do u think i've gained?" and "How much do u think i weigh now?" We have always been honest with each other and i wanted to answer had no clue what to say. She always complained about going to the gym when she was slim and this weight gain does not change how i see her at all. I think she is a beautiful girl and love her for more then how she physicaly looks.
She likes that she doesn't have to gym to please me, but she doesn't like how she looks right now. Being kinda short, 5 foot 3 inches tall, this extra weight is very noticible. Honestly if u didn't know her and described her to someone you would say she was chubby. She gained all over, but her thighs and butt are most noticble. Her legs are think, soft and covered with cellulite, her butt sticks out and her tummy is very soft and sticks out too. Any muscle tone she has before is gone. I want to give her an honest answer on how much weight she gained. Going from a slim size 2 to now a flabby size 8 is a lot of weight, and I hope she can get into a size 8 cause she really struggled to get the stretchable size 6 jeans over her thighs and butt and they weren't even close to being buttoned.
She wants to know how much she has gained, but doesn't want to get on a scale. We don't have one anyways, and she doens't know how much she weighed last year. She thinks she only gained around 15 pounds saying that u have to gain 5 pounds before u go up a jeans size. I think she looks like she gained more then that and that it takes a little more then 5 pounds before you out grow a pair of jeans. But i don't know know how womens jeans work. I think she's gained more like 25 pounds, but i'm not really sure and honelty think it could be more. Does 25 pounds sound like a resonable number?
I feel that the weight gain is kinda my fault cause i brought up the idea of her going on the pill and it wasn't till after going on the pill when she really started to gain.
)that'll make weight loss not such a chore.
