Hey ppl! I'm not overweight, but my boyfriend Greg is REALLY big (he's 6 foot 2, 260 llbs). A lot of it is muscle, since he's one of the starting linebackers on our football team (he's been on varsity since 10th grade!)but he's pretty chubby too. Anywho, his stepmom (who is a total BIOTCH)is pretty mean to him about his weight, and he gets really depressed. A few days ago she told him that she was suprised I hadn't dumped him because he was so fat! I think he looks just fine the way he is (I can't stand skinny guys or ones that are way too muscular) and I was hoping you guys could give me tips on how to boost his self esteem when his stepmother is so bent on bringing it down.

Reply from kathryn, Age 17 - 02/13/05 - IP#: 84.160.143.xxx i think you really cant reason with that woman, she seems to have a real problem... but what you should do is always make sure he knows that you have no problem with the way he looks. BUT you should also try to find out if HE has a problem with the way he looks. If not, thats awesome, and keep up the good work. But if he is selfconsious, then try to help him out to loose a few lbs if thats what he wants! good luck!
Reply from Katherine, Age 15 - 02/12/05 - IP#: 68.100.185.xxx just sit down with her and logically tell her that she is bringing down his self-esteem, and that he is aware of his weight. if she has any humanity in her, she will back down. ask her for her help in being supportive of him!! good luck!!
