fat - fat
Hahhaah I can tell you're a gentleman by asking this question hehehe. Just say it nicely...and I know you know how to do it. Just don't tell her honey you are fat! that's a no no in woman's vocabulary and women will be really really hurt. It's like when you see a fat girl, say you're chubby instead of saying fat! ehehhe. I wonder how much she weighs? and how tall is she? and is she really overweight? like how much?

That is not all that overweight. She just needs to tone up a little bit.

The simple answer, my friend, is you don't. You can try to tell her that she would look better in this, or that, but don't tell her she needs to lose weight. Are you really 1 fat pig yourself? In that case, how about you attack the problem together, and try to eat a lot healthier foods than you have been doing in the past.

Oh this is a very touchy subject with most women. I am not sure there IS a way to tell her this. Women are very sensitive about their appearance, especially their weight. So if she feels that you are not finding her attractive, that will hurt her and make things worse. Also you didnt say just how much weight, in your opinion, that she needs to lose. If it is a significant amount, you might tell her you are worried for her health.

Wow, 5'3" and 165 lbs is not a healthy weight. Do you need to loose weight yourself? First, I would have to say that if you care about her or even love her, you would still have these feelings no matter what her weight. But if you are concerned about her weight for health reasons, that is a whole different matter. Maybe you can start eating less carbs. Ask her to join with you in your change of eating habits. Find recipes together that could cause you to eat less carbs. You could also find a nature walk and walk together. This is something that would give you both exercise. The best thing it...do not tell her that she is over weight and put the blame on yourself. Ask her to join you in your goal to be more active and eat better. It is always more fun and successful to have a partner to do these things with.

Why does she need to lose weight? I don't think you can say that tactfully. A friend of mine who is actually very skinny was asked by her boyfriend to get liposuction if he paid for it. I couldn't believe she even considered it! On top of that, she also started going to the gym, so now he doesn't have to pay for that liposuction he thought she really needed.
