How do I tell my gf she needs to lose weight?

To me her face is a 10 but she’s put on some weight. How do I tell her w/o getting my a$$ kicked out? I’m no waif myself but I don’t have one look at me if I don’t wanna.

Ask her for help getting rid of your extra weight. Maybe romantic walks, of about ten kilometers?

It would be much safer to find a new gf.

Benefits both.
Although weight is a balance of calories in and calories out.
Even if weight isn't lost as eating increases to match, fitness might still rise.
Depends on quality of food consumed though.
If empty except for colories, might not go well as the body will be hungrier for a wider variety of nutrients with greater exercise.

My wife's advice (yes, I asked):
If you really want a partner that cares about their looks-

Marry a gay man.

Don't say anything to her...

Just start eating right and exercise everyday.
- As you start looking better she should get the hint and join in with you.

So what if she doesn't get the hint and join in?
- Trust me on this: As you get fitter/leaner the issue will resolve itself.

I wouldn't even go there. I don't like my gf eating habits or her food choices. We couldn't be more different. While I eat fish, green food, salads, she is eating fried foods, heavy casserole, high carbs and pasta, she will comment - you eat so healthy. My diet is Mediterranean based, hers is southern based - big differences. I do encourage her to eat healthier - she has stomach issues. I even suggested a dietitian. I'm not winning on any of this.

I think I would encourage walks or biking. At least that is what I'm going to try. I will let you know how that goes.

Simply tell her that those pants make your a$$ look fat. Or not.

Hide all the cutlery and, then, very carefully.

so serious question, what is her approx height and weight and body type (apple or pear shape)

There is extra pounds, and EXTRA pounds.

big difference between, if she's 5' 2" and 350 pounds. or 5' 7" and 175 pounds

Get caught shagging her skinny friend. That'll get the message across.

While having sex yell out " I love banging a fat chick " and see what the response is 😁 . Be prepared to be launched towards the ceiling at a high rate of speed 😩 .
