new guy that i'm dating with a crazy metabolism. it's not fair!

ok so I've recently started dating this guy and he is so skinny its just not fair!  He's naturally that way he is one of those people that has to try to gain weight, anyways I'm 5'9" and 146. and he's like 5'8" and 126.  Is that weird? it doesn't weird me out until I go to hug him and he's so skinny.  He has told me he thinks I'm beautiful, but dang I just wish I had his metabolism!!!

My boyfriend is the same way. He's 5'8 and 135 pounds and can eat whatever he wants and not gain a pound. He'll eat a whole pie in one sitting and not have to worry about buring it off. Me I eat one peice and have to make sure I get at least 30 minutes on the treadmill. It makes me so jealous!

We have dated for a little over a year and two months now and he has tried to gain weight several times during our relationship with no success. It ticks him off that he can't gain weight. Me on the otherhand, I would give anything for that metabolism!

I have one of those too. 5'9 128. I think he wouldn't mind gaining some weight but he's not too worried about it one way or the other. He has a sweet tooth but really doesn't eat a lot and absolutes hates the way that overeating makes him feel physically. He will not eat one bite past when his body isn't hungry anymore, even if that means he leaves just one popcorn shrimp on his plate (which I end up eating because I can't stand it!). So he's actually been a good example for me in learning not to overeat. And while he will eat his sweets, he is very thoughtful and good about making sure that there are treats just for me that are low calorie, and makes me hummus from scratch, which I find to be like nectar from heaven!

Remember that some men are sensitive about being thin. So unless you know this isn't the case with your guy, you might want to keep the mentioning of your uneasiness with the weight difference between the two of you to a minimum. He finds you to be beautiful, and likes to give you hugs-- go with it! <3

hehe lol, he probably doesnt want to be so thin, and you are taller than him ha, you both sound healthy though, I think I am 146 now

My BF is crazy too, he is 6'0 and weighs in at a whopping 127lbs.  The poor guy, sometimes he hates it and other times he doesn't care but the worst part about it, he eats like a mad cow.  During the week, at work, he goes out for brekkie at least 2x and 2x a week goes to McD for brekkie.  For lunch he usually has a sandwich with the grossest amount of meat I have ever seen in my life.  He will have an afternoon snack consisting of M&M peanuts/chips/reece's peanut butter cups/jolly rancher gummy, he will choose 2  snacks from the vending machine.  He thinks water is useless so he always drinks juice or 2% milk.  For dinner, he has a pretty square meal, but then at night snacks on chips & dip or easy mac.  Like this kid, is the unhealthiest guy I have ever met, but you would never know it by looking at him.  I'm majoring in Nutrition at Uni so it's impossible for me to think about what he eats.

The weekends are impossible with him too!  Fast food and big brekkies all weekend long, and lots of beer!  Poor guy, but we've been dating for 6 years and I still love him to death, so don't worry too much about it.  I've always weighed more than him!

My boyfriend is the same way.  I'm jealous of his metabolism, but I'm also jealous that he doesn't obsess about food the way that I do.  To him, he can take it or leave it.  I think about it all day long!

It does make me happy that I'm the thinnest girlfriend he's had :)  He likes the curves!

Him: 6' and 135 lbs.

Me: 5'6" and 167 lbs.

Him: Eats whatever he wants and has no issues with food.

Me: Exact opposite :(

It used to bug me a little that my bf was 5'10" and ~160 lbs (while I'm 5'6" and 168 lbs) until I really took notice of what and how he ate. He doesn't eat breakfast, can sometimes skip lunch and eats a big dinner (usually Kraft dinner!).  I plan out all my meals to make sure it's healthy & balanced and eat good food throughout the day. He has no food issues while I still have some in the back of my head. I make sure to communicate with him if I'm feeling a certain way about it because otherwise, he wouldn't get it.

 Men and women are different.

My boyfriend is much the same. He is 5'10'' and he weighs 130lbs while little ole me is 5'3'' and I weigh (grawwr I don't want to say this lol) about 130lbs.

He has a very quick metabolism and he plays soccer and also does track (as do I) but you also need to think about muscle.

If you have a lot of muscle that will make you weigh more. So whats on the scale may not be bad.

I mean I horseback ride so I have giant THUNDER thighs.

But I'm very proud of my muscle because I worked my short behind off for them. :D

Thats just another thing to think about.

But I get what you mean.

It kinda sucks when your boyfriend is scrawnnyyyy, and you aren't I know. I've been there. Oh wait lol I am there!

Bahha

Anyways, I wish you and your boyfriend best of luck. :3

Him: 6' and 130lbs

Me: 5'2" and 225lbs

I have a bit of a Mrs. Sprat complex, but I love him

I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one :) I'm 5'3 weighing 140lbs, my love is 5'8 and only 138lbs, and come summer he'll automatically start losing!! That is my number one motivator because I just CAN'T weigh more than my boyfriend. ;) Although he totally disagrees and says he loves me the way I am and tells me how beautiful I am to him several times a day (but he still supports me calorie counting!). So girls, let's just believe our men when they say such things ;)

It weirds you out that your boyfriend feels skinny when you hug him? You might learn to love it eventually. I can almost reach around my bf's waist with one arm and find that very sexy :)

It is kind of hard to live with someone who has to constantly eat just to maintain his weight. Now that we live together, I make him eat more healthily, that way I can nick some of his food every now and then ;)

Him: 5'11" and 145 pounds

me: 4'11" and 125 pounds

He eats constantly, never healthy, but is also physically opposed to the idea of being full. He will not eat one bite over full! It's amazing! And when he does fill up his stomach he groans with a stomach ache for like, hours. Also, when he's hungry it's not like, urgent. It's just a feeling and he can ignore it - it's not he most important thing on his mind. When I'm making plans for the day I think "What am I going to eat for lunch?" and he just rolls with the punches. Maybe I should learn to eat like him!

ohemgee!! haha

its killing me, like all the guys I know are like freaking pencils, I mean I'm skinny too but I'm not stick like they are. bahha

my boyfriend(Ryan) is insane with his eating, he has to most weirdest eating habits.

He doesn't eat till he's full. He'll eat half of his plate then puts it out on the counter wait fifteen minutes then when his brain tells him if he's full or not he'll either bring the plate back or he'll put the left overs in tupperwear.

It was so funny because his parents make fun of him. They told me he's done it since he was 5. I'm like dang natural health fanatic much? bahha

But nahhh he's awesome and I'm starting to pick up his eating habits other than the simple fact he eats like a freaking turtle and I'm the hare. It kills me!! haha

We don't live together(I'm 15 he's 17) but when we go out to eat in like 10 minutes I'm done and he's not even half way through.

FUNNY STORY TIME

oky we were out at Outback and we get our table and the waitress comes and she's like freaking hot, I was so jealous but my boyfriend hardly even looked at her. Bahha anyways

Well we order our food and when she comes out with it(she had been trying to flirt with him all night) she like started hitting on him and stuff(again), and being all sweet and blah blah blah. But he blew her off(he actually didn't even notice she was trying to flirt. I felt so loved lmao) but 10 minutes later when she came back I was already done and Ryan was still working on his food, she asked where my food went and I patted my belly. She laughed and stared at Ryan and all of a sudden he goes "Miss, please stop checking me out and get my girl another Coke." her mouth dropped open and as soon as she walked away I started laughing so hard like I was crying. And he was just like "What?" I snickered and said nothing. When she came back she like slammed my cup on the table it was so great. My favorite date evvvvver.

But when she asked where my food went I actually got really embarrassed. It really sucked.

But he was sweet and like told her off without himself even knowing it. It was GREAT!!

Mine's not skinny, but he goes to culinary school!

He also immediately ascertained my favorite food (bacon) and now includes it in most dishes.

I am in trouble, ladies.
