My boyfriend went through that with me. The thing was, I was eating healthy and exercising a lot and I just kept gaining weight. I could tell he didn't like it, but he was supportive. And after this had gone on for far too long he was the one who convinced me to go to the doctor. My thyroid wasn't working right and that's what was causing it. I went on some meds and the weight came off. I'm really grateful that he was good about the whole thing. I know I looked like a beast for a little while there, but he always went out of his way to make me feel sexy.
It would be a problem for me. I would help her eat right and exercise. If that doesn't work and she keeps gaining weight, well she won't be with me for long.
Being healthy is important to me. I wouldn't date anyone that leads a unhealthy lifestyle because in the future I know they will most likely gain a lot of weight and I am not attracted to that.
I would help him eat right and exercise. I would be understanding because I know it can be hard to lose weight, and I would help him. We could do it together, but he definitely needs to put in effort because I probably would lose attraction to him
