    Font - Me (23m) and my gf (23f) have been dating 3 years, and we have been living together for 1. Some relevant context, when we first met she had a little extra weight on her, but I didn't ever really notice it and I found her very attractive. Fast forward to around 2 years ago, she got serious about getting into better shape and made significant changes to her lifestyle, particularly diet. The weight came off really quickly and in total she's lost about 25 pounds. She's 5'4" and now weighs aro

    Font - While that's all great, since she first started losing weight she's expressed to me that's she's now terrified of gaining weight again and being "fat", even though I've told her that I never thought she was fat before and definitely isn't now. She keeps pretty close tabs on calories and gets very stressed out if she feels she's eaten too much throughout the day. I know it isn't a great state of mind, but I don't think it's serious because it doesn't really affect her functioning in life.

    Font - Now for the current situation. She's been very frustrated about the little bit of "pouch" she has on her stomach, that she doesn't understand why it hasn't gone away. We work out together every other day, and she's told me that she tries to eat 1200 calories a day or less to try and lose the last bit of fat and get a flatter stomach. A couple days ago she told me that she's been reading and thinks she's probably actually been eating too little and is going to now try to eat 1400 calories

    Font - It was kinda surprising to see her eat so much so I just made the observation "that's a lot of food." She gave me an upset look and said she's hungry, to which I replied "I'm not hungry and I've only eaten a hotdog today" (which was true).

    Font - I didn't say that to be a jerk, I just kinda didn't understand how she could've been hungry when I wasn't hungry and I'm 6′ 185 pounds. It just kinda caught me off guard, that was all, I didn't mean anything by it. Anyways, she got kinda sad and said ok, that she wouldn't eat anything else until dinner. We've both kinda been avoiding each other since then, and I can definitely tell she feels hurt. Personally, I think she's being too sensitive. But AITA?
