Default Encouraging my GF to work out

When I met my girlfriend she was a super-fit hottie. Since we've been together (over a year) she's gained about 10 pounds and is visibly pudgy. She talks often about feeling bad and wanting to get back in shape and work out more, but so far is not really taking the right steps. I have been using the typical man response the whole time, eg. "you look great the way you are" "no, you're not fat, you're gorgeous" etc. while meaning them less and less.

So, is there a way I can help her or encourage her to get back in shape without becoming the villain?

Suggest she come along with you to the gym to keep you company?

Liar, a super-fit hottie doesn't turn to the Michelin Man over 10lbs. A super-fit hottie gaining 10 lbs means bigger [censored].

my friend just makes his gf come with him whenever he goes to the gym. next time she mentions it, say ok and get some introductory passes somewhere and stick to a schedule. by making it more about being able to do something together as well as working towards a healthier lifestyle you should be able to deflect most of the negative aspects here

Install a stripper pole. You can watch her burn off the poundage and get an erotic show to boot.

This actually is a pretty good idea, but would be a big sacrifice for me personally cuz she likes to work out first thing in the morning and I f**king hate working out in the morning.

Your gf weighs ~110, you're publicly complaining because she doesn't weigh 100 any more, but you won't make the "big sacrifice" of going to work out with her first thing in the morning.

I suggest you either live with the 10 pounds or get your sorry a** out of bed with her!
