It's all well and good to encourage luv to recognize the good things about herself and to accept that which she cannot change, but it's good to be realistic about the superficiality of the world too and to the extent that she can make herself attractive, it's good to put some effort into it. She should brush her hair even if she's still a good person when her hair is a mess. She needs to put some effort into dressing nice instead of dressing down to the least acceptable level even if she's the same person either way. And if she's overweight (as opposed to having an unrealistic mental image of herself, like your gf), she ought to try to lose it, not only because it will make her more marketable but because it's good for her health. Anyway, I applaud you, luv, for trying to lose some weight and I hope you are able to stay motivated and stick with it. And, btw, I assume you already brush your hair and try to dress nice (without breaking the bank, of course). I was just using those as examples.

That was such a passive aggressive post.
I loved it. |

Looks matter, but don't you think love is blind sometimes? Case in point, I have this pastor friend, I think he's hot, and so do many others. But his wife? not so much:
Here are the pictures: Him and her

Neither are very asthetically pleasing, but if thats their kid, they make cute babies.

I'm not saying that looks are the only thing that matter. I would date someone I was attracted to if he was fine with my looks while I wasn't. I did that last time. My ex was fine with my looks, so I didn't put as much stress on it. Of course, he ended up being full of shit, and I ended up getting lazy in my eating habits. Even if I do start dating someone who was fine with the way I look now, I would still continue to try to lose weight. I learned my lesson last time. |

Unfortunately (and I'm sure unintentionally), you were encouraging her to buy into the excuses that she'd need to take the easier path instead of the path that will lead to greater long term satisfaction. Fortunately she remains strong enough to reject that temptation. Let's all resolve to encourage her to stick to her program.
