My girl friend thinks her body is fat etc she isn't , but she won't quit saying it .
what can i do to help her stop thinking this????????????????

You can't really do anything. if she's gonna think she's fat, she's gonna think she's fat. if she isn't fat, she'll probably realize it sooner or later. i thought i was fat at one point and it took me 3 years to finally realize that i wasnt. no matter what anybody told me, it didn't matter, because the only opinion that stuck with me was my own. In my opinion, I was fat, and everyone who told me otherwise either hated me and wanted me to be fat, or they were obviously blind. maybe your girlfriend feels the same way? if she is a bit overweight though, if it bothers her THAT terribly much, she'll do something about it.

well she ain't actually fat thas the thing she got a really nice body

i was never even close to being fat either. when i started worrying, i was 5'5, 110 pounds and i MUST'VE been crazy because now i'm 5'7, 130-135 pounds, and i'm still really skinny. i went on dozens of diets, exercised for up to 3 hours a day and who knows how many days i went without eating. i always cried and complained about my "HUGE" body. i didn't care what anyone else thought. everyone around me told me i had a perfect body, and most of my friends were jealous of me. i never understood why... but now i realize (i AM NOT trying to brag), but i do have a pretty nice body. it's not perfect, but there's nothing wrong with it. and i'm sure there's nothing wrong with your girlfriends body either. but she needs to figure that out herself. you can compliment her all you want, but she's the one who has to realize that she's beautiful the way she is. but compliments never hurt! :-D

Try to take some flattering photos of her to prove it; she might think she looks better in pics than a reflection in the mirror

Pose together in the nude and take a full length picture. Although she might think she's fat that would not apply to your body would it? The comparison would dispel any lingering doubts.
