I agree with flyinghorse. How did your evening go? Over time, her emotional reaction may subside. Perhaps the two of you can explore why she has such strong feelings on the matter. From her reaction, I would guess someone to her said something to her that became a defining moment. I once read a comment here by someone that reached for a cookie when she was 4. Her grandfather scolded her saying "You don't want that. You'll get fat." That single comment sent her into a life of anorexia and nearly killed her. Fortunately she got help and overcame it and was able to enjoy getting fat now. Maybe your gf has a ghost from her past still haunting her.
Work with your gf - carefully, and gently. It'll be a process that takes time... probably a long time. Good luck and keep us posted :-)
flyinghorse:
She probably thinks that you see her as fat as you are dating her and you visit this site. She's probably feeling a bit insecure right now and the best thing to do is show her how much you like/love her.
Take her on a day out, do the things that she loves to do, or really wants to do. Remind her why she fell for you.
If you both love each other and have the right attitude then you will work it out.
I don't buy into this: dump them as soon as something goes wrong mentality that so many of us under forties seem to have.
