Health, Fight and Diets: Pound for pound

Pound for pound

By Anonymous - 27/04/2021 14:01

Today, my girlfriend had a huge fight with me because while I'm trying to gain weight and she’s trying to lose some, I’ve still lost more weight than her. Not my fault my body’s natural preference is to drop pounds like they’re hot. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I've recently become serious about getting fit, and have lost nearly 84 pounds. Apparently, when I was fat, I made her look smaller in comparison. When I got slimmer, she insisted I either gain the weight back or she'd leave. So she did. FML

Today, after supporting my girlfriend for over a year in her endeavour to lose weight, exercise more, and eat better, my now-slender girlfriend dumped me, because she's found someone "better" than me. FML

Food fight

By hss - 30/05/2011 01:59 - United States

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML

Neverending cycle

By Eiblake13 - 07/01/2024 03:00 - United States

Today, my girlfriend threw a bitch fit about her clothes not fitting and how she’s “so fat” to the point of storming out of the house when I asked her to please calm down. Just a couple of hours earlier, we'd ordered food and she ordered a salad, then asked to trade my burger and fries with her. FML

Sabotage!

By I choose health - 11/04/2022 18:00

Today, my boyfriend admitted to purposely sabotaging all my weight loss efforts. When I confronted him, he said it’s because he doesn’t want me to get thin and turn into one of those stuck up, snobby, mean girl types that wouldn’t date him in high school. We’re in our 30s dude, get over it! FML

Today, my girlfriend accused me of being a feeder, saying that's why she's been putting on so much weight. When I said it might be because she eats at McDonald's everyday, and that I was willing to start cooking low-calorie foods for us, she hit me. Then she went to McDonald's. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I'm now about 15 pounds overweight. When I called him a hypocrite as he's over 40 pounds overweight, he said that his weight didn't matter because "it's the girl's job to look hot." FML

Paranoid

By Anonymous - 15/02/2022 16:00

Today, my wife tried to forbid me from going to the gym anymore because in public she looks fat stood next to me and it’s embarrassing. She picked me up from the gym yesterday and saw all the “thin gym sluts” I prefer to spend my time with instead of her. God, I’m sick of her lazy jealous BS. FML

Food for thought

By Whatthehell - 18/06/2022 04:00

Today, my girlfriend is mentally unhinged. She had a full on temper tantrum and ranted about healthy eating, and how she’s “fat” and needs to lose 30 pounds, all because I suggested Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. She stormed out of the house. I later ran into her at a local pizza place, devouring a pizza. FML

Sounds like somebody needs to see a doctor. If you’re actively trying to gain weight and, not only staying stagnant but actually losing weight, it could be a symptom of a medical issue.

The pettiness and insecurity over uncontrollable circumstances here is adorable and hilariously stupid.

It's somebody's job to have a completely cheesy/primative thinking/pervy answer...so here we go. In trying to gain weight...I had some habanero beef jerky today, it was healthy and I crave it constantly. Gives my mouth that yummy tingly feeling. When trying to add to the pounds, tons of yummy, spicy dishes to try are always welcomed to see what tastes good & to satisfy your appetite in every way. If it's been a while since your last full meal, you're probably craving/needing a full helping of meat/protein. For the gf trying to lose weight....well, exercise, of course ;)

You don't know metabolism as well a a doctor either. The girlfriend could have every dieting girl's problem, which is that her body is in famine mode, which means that she has to pry each calorie from it as if it was the last gallon of drinkable water on the planet. Add to it that she doesn't necessarily like to exercise two hours a day like a maniac, and you now why she's packing on the pounds. As for you...maybe a couple hours of rest in a doctor's waiting room?

valid thoughts Yudith. I think we can all agree nothing is as easy as it seems when it comes to metabolism and nutrition.
