OP, there might be an underlying issue here. You don't love your girlfriend and are looking foe way out. Her eating habits are just an excuse to dump this girl. Be honest. There might be a guy out there who will adore her and won't care about how strict her diet is.

This is probably only going to get worse as she gets older and her metabolism slows. If this is something that really bothers you and you guys can't come to some kind of compromise, it would be better just to break it off.

If you do stay together, stop buying her candy and then judging her for not eating it. She's not going to eat it. There are other things you can buy her to celebrate holidays.

OP, you just don't sound very compatible. Health freaks should shack up with health freaks. People who can maintain healthy weight without going to extremes will never get it.

It's not the restrictions that are annoying; it's the constant discussion of them. Just find something to eat or drink already and stop going on about it.

I think the part about lecturing you and constantly evaluating food that everyone is eating and making a big fuss about accommodating her special habits is the key issue here. If she wants to eat super healthy and can find a way to do so without major implications for a normal social life or making you feel like shit for everything you eat (assuming you eat generally healthy) that's one thing. I have a friend who is a gluten free vegetarian, but always manages to find something to eat and doesn't complain. But its another to be around someone who is constantly judging food and making a scene at restaurants. My mom is the judger and my ex SIL, an anorexic, has made food the center of her life--when she will eat, what, the third degree at the restaurant, sending stuff back, making weird weird dishes, etc. Its also unhealthy to raise kids in that atmosphere. So I guess it depends on how much your GF can separate her own issues from projecting them onto/subjecting every one else to them.

Are you sure she even has PCOS? Sounds like she has an eating disorder and is using this "disease" to provide an excuse for it. At least that's what I did

( heart disease, diabetes, and fertility issues) are what is making her eat healthy. I encourage healthy eating but he lecturing is annoying. I would not care if she gained a little. My ex gained 20lbs in our relationship and still didn’t matter to me. We broke up for other reasons.

Uhh...if that is actually what she was told, she needs a new doctor stat. You can control your symptoms, but if you have pcos you always have it, you cannot "reverse" it. And diet has a heck of a lot to do with it

My relative has similar issues- a great fix is to google restaurants who are skilled at serving non- gluten, clean and delicious food. You both win!

Isn't it scientifically proven that married men live longer because their wives keep reminding them to take care of themselves and their health, including not to eat crap?

I put up with a vegan once. But I just couldn't get past how stupid she was. It was blatantly obvious she was just bored and being a follower; had no real grasp of nutrition. I had to be drunk around her to get over how annoying she was. Sex was great. Fling lasted a few weeks.

My sister claims to have this ailment when before she was just plain obese.

She's become a hateful mean food nazi and anyone that doesn't agree with her every word is a hater, a bigot, a misogynist, a racist, jealous, on and on and on.

I want my fat sister back. The thinner she gets the meaner she gets. I think it's from starving her brain.

My advice ? LEAVE NOW. My sister's husband just left her. He couldn't take her anymore.

Just because your sister is that way, doesn't mean everyone with PCOS is. I hope you get really sick when you're older and your spouse leaves you, and your sister throws a party to celebrate. Asshole.

Uh she needs a new Dr. How did she reverse it other than with the diet? And the first line of treatment for any PCOS is a low carb diet.

Anyhow, I agree with the PPs that it's OK to have food restrictions, but it's not OK to lecture people or get angry about it. I have insulin resistance from another hormone issue but I'm not going to yell at my MIL who just sent us toffees.

Yeah, not a big deal.

Forty pounds is a LITTLE overweight?
