He Discovered His Girlfriend Had Been Sneaking Sweets After Asking For His Help In Losing Weight, So He Said She Needed To Go To The Gym And Got Accused Of Fat Shaming
About two years ago, this 27-year-old man’s doctor told him that he needed to lose weight because he was pre-diabetic and had a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Plus, since his Body Mass Index (BMI) was so high, his doctor claimed that his risk of cardiovascular disease would only get worse as time went on.
So, over the past two years, he went to the gym and worked out five days a week. Then, he eventually got in shape.
It was during his weight loss journey that he also met his girlfriend, who is 26. The pair actually crossed paths at the gym, and after going out on a few dates, they soon became exclusive.
He claimed that right after they got into a relationship, though, everything changed.
“I continued to work on myself, and I got into pretty good shape,” he explained.
“By contrast, my girlfriend completely halted. She used to be a rock climber, and she completely stopped that. So now her physical activity has basically come to a halt.”
Still, in the beginning, he decided not to say anything. After all, he knows that you don’t have to be insanely fit in order to be healthy.
As time went on, though, things reportedly just got worse. And eventually, after his girlfriend went to the doctor, she was told that she needed to do something about her rising weight.

So, at that point, he began pushing her to go to the gym. And even though she still did not make an effort to do that, he claimed that was not really the core issue.
Instead, his girlfriend apparently asked for his help in eating healthier to get her weight under control. He agreed to help and began cooking her healthy meals while trying to make them as tasty as possible.
And honestly, he claimed it was a lot of work for him. Before, he would usually just prep batches of chicken and pop pieces in the air fryer for meals. But his girlfriend didn’t like that, and cooking for her was a whole new endeavor for him.
“This took up a lot of time. I tried new recipes and different things to try and make this as easy as I could for her,” he said.
Just a few days ago, though, his girlfriend revealed how she still had not lost any weight after going to the gym and eating his healthy meals.
She also promised that she had not eaten anything extra and swore she had been working out more frequently.
But, soon after that conversation, he stumbled upon a sweet stash in their apartment while looking for his PS5 controller. Apparently, it was filled with wrappers and new chocolates, and he was furious.
He wound up bringing all of the evidence to confront his girlfriend, and she confessed to eating sweets the entire time. She also admitted to picking up and eating food when she was at work.
So, at that point, he claimed that he felt frustrated and exhausted. He also told his girlfriend that she needed to just go to the gym.
After he said that, though, his girlfriend burst into tears and accused him of fat-shaming her.
While he realizes that losing weight is very difficult, though, he just feels like his girlfriend is not even trying.
“She is literally eating jars of Nutella behind my back. I tell her I can’t help her if she can’t help herself,” he vented.
But even though he doesn’t believe he was in the wrong for calling his girlfriend out, some of his friends have agreed with his girlfriend and think he did fat-shame her.
So now, he has been left wondering whether telling his girlfriend to go to the gym makes him a total jerk or not.
Do you think he should have kept his mouth shut? Or did he have a right to be angry since his girlfriend asked for his help and lied to him? How would you handle this situation?
