I love thick girls, but over the years, my girlfriend just turned unhealthily FAT - even her doctor says she could die in a few years if she keeps it up.
We've had the conversation plenty of times about losing weight, but she keeps saying I'm just a shallow bastard and that I should love her no matter what.
What can I do to convince her that she needs to lose weight for her own health other than just ask/tell her (obviously this doesn't work)?

SOOOOOO how do you get your girl that clearly dose not work out to work out with you? I would like for my girl to work out a lil more (not that she needs to :)) but she"s always to tired or busy

I would have to agree with @taicruise I think she will feel better with you by her side working out with her and eating healthy. If you're by her side at least she wont feel like she forced. It will not only make her be more fit and healthy, it will benifit the both of you.

Go out and buy her a few thing's that look great but are two sizes smaller or the size she was when you met, tell her I'd love to see you in this. If she starts to flip cause its to small tell her Tim Gunn said "Make it work" lol(only kidding) tell her some of your bets memories of her are at that size and you just want to return there.

I totally agree with taicruise. You dont wanna seem scrutinizing and should motivate by example. My husband and I work out all the time and are eachotherÅ› workout partners, to me thats the best way becuz your mate is supposed to inspire.

Well i've always thought personally that leading, and motivating only with words is a common fallacy. Try the approach of " being" the inspiration. Lead by example and follow your actions with words as confirmation. This way it doesn't seem like your scrutinizing her, because now good health is not only a notion you speak about but something you practices as-well. State your personal accomplishments, like " hey I just finally jog 5 mies in 20minz, lol according to the marines im not to shabby" , lots of people learn visually. Human beings are a species of monkey see, monkey do. If you make working out your daily routine it will resonate. It then also becomes a social event for her, like "hey john iis working out alot, he has no time for me. I wanna spend time with him so i'll workout with him, that'll be fun."
