Or eroded it further... that really depends on how well she performs at the gym. She sounds like the kind of person who'd find the hottest person in the gym, compare herself to that person, and then be miserable and self-pitying as a result.

Idk, it could have give a different direction too. He should have been her "work out buddy" to get in the shape she wants to be in. It'd make her feel supported.

Blame it on the hormones

Because the media is so preoccupied with tiny non-existent celebrity bodies that women feel like they are failures if they don't match up. Some women eventually grow out of that mindset, but some never do.

And it's us constantly horny men that lust after them. Women feel that if they aren't as skinny as Anne Hathaway, men won't love them or will go elsewhere for love. Let me tell you other guys something - I've had every kind of woman you can imagine. Tall, short, skinny, fat, beautiful, not so beautiful, rich, poor, outgoing, shy, and all the others in between. The best loving I ever had came from a slightly overweight, kinda (she thought) plain looking, shy waitress/bartender with zero self confidence. This girl outshined the slightly famous actress I had been seeing and opened my eyes to the wonders of females of ALL shapes and sizes. What I'm trying to say is - the knockouts usually don't have time for you cuz they've always got their nose in a mirror and ya gotta wait so damn long for them to "just run in real quick and put on my face." Btw - I married that little tigress that thought she was so plain and I have enjoyed EVERY one of the last 35 years. And I'd do it again.

If you have a daughter you're setting a good example for what her boyfriends should be like!!

Whats wrong with planet fitness? I work out there because it is an amazing gym. Not everyone who works out there is overly fat.

I'm pretty sure since she over reacted that much because op asked her to go to the gym she'll probably skip the funeral and punch him into the ground herself.
