Question:

I'm 6'3 and a 135lbs and my GF is 5'2 and 263lbs,. When its hot she give off this foul odor why?

I have asked her to go see a doctor but she refuse and gets angry with me. She always complaining that she is hungry, when i tell her she need to go to the gym she beats me in front of her family.


Answers:

Unfortunately, people who are overweight (and I used to be) can get fungal, bacterial, and other growth where skin touches. Yeast infections can be fairly common in the areas where skin touches skin, the heat is high, and she sweats.

Given her constant hunger, foul odor, and less than stellar temperament, she may have a problem with her thyroid or with undiagnosed diabetes. People with diabetes are particularly susceptible to yeast and other fungal infections of the skin.

While she is currently clinically obese and needs to consult a doctor about it to avoid some rather serious medical problems, constantly reminding her of how she needs to exercise and lose weight can just make things worse. However, no one has the right to beat anyone for any reason.

You don't say how old you are, but, if you truly want to help her, be kind and supportive. Plan activities she doesn't have a whole lot of trouble participating in, but does give her an easy workout. For example, plan a picnic lunch in the park, but walk after you eat. Enjoy each other's company and what you might find in the park. Pretty soon, you'll forget about her weight and enjoy her company. She won't be so resentful of the constant nagging about her weight either. Another example is to volunteer for something you both believe in such as clean up of a park, visiting the elderly and reading to them or writing letters for them, help with a youth group, etc.

There are lots of ways to get exercise other than going to a gym and working 30 minutes straight. That didn't work for me at all. What worked was to get involved and to make the decision that I really wanted to get healthy before it was too late. Not just lose weight to please someone else. Until she believes she has a problem with her weight (and I suspect she does from her reactions about it), she won't lose it no matter what you tell her. If she'll let you help, sit down and talk with her about it.

By the way, unless you are very young, 6'3" and 135 lbs isn't any healthier than your girlfriend is at 5'2" and 263 lbs. Being too skinny carries it's own set of weight-related medical problems.

Good luck!
