Starvation or Sensible Weight Loss? ♀️
Our 19-year-old protagonist has always struggled with her weight, and her boyfriend’s preference for skinnier girls has her feeling insecure. Recently, he suggested that she fast all day and only eat one 500-calorie meal, which feels like starvation to her. She confronted him about her past issues with food and how his suggestion brought back painful memories. He apologized, saying he just wanted to help and that his method would be the quickest way to lose weight. He claims he loves her and wants her to be happy. So, what do you think, Facebook fam? Is our girl overreacting, or is her boyfriend’s suggestion way out of line? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
