I think you folks all have something to say here and I certainly appreciate your thoughts, but you have hijacked the OP's thread.

Champions initial thread is regarding what he can do to help motivate his girlfriend to eat better and get more excercise.

Whether or not we feel he is right or wrong in how he perceives his g/f is one thing, but many of the posts have taken away from his issue as posted.

Please feel free to start a new thread regarding your ideas of weight and how it plays into your life and relationships.

At this point I'm asking anyone who wishes to address the OP's questions, please feel free to do so. Any other posts that are not directed to the OP should be iniated in a new thread. And please folks, regardless of how your feel about the OP and his idea of fat or thin, remember this is a support site and our responses should be respectful and supportive even if we disagree.

Thanks so much for your understanding!
