My (17M) girlfriend (17F) of 2 years has gained a lot of weight recently and it’s making me question if I still find her attractive. How do I handle this?

My girlfriend and I have been together for 2 years and we’ve had a great relationship so far. She’s very kind, has a great personality, and is fairly good looking. Over the past 6 months or so, I’ve noticed she’s been gaining a lot of weight. <br><br>For context I don’t think she controls her eating habits as much as she should, and she definitely doesn’t get enough exercise. She knows she’s gained weight but she laughs it off and says she’ll eventually lose it. <br><br>It’s gotten to the point where I’m questioning if I still find her attractive. I feel like a shallow piece of shit for thinking this. I know she’s the same person but for some reason I’m just not as attracted to her any more. I feel awful that I’m thinking this but I don’t know how to stop thinking this way. I don’t want to be a shallow and superficial dumb teen boy but I also can’t help how I feel. I don’t want to break up with her over this, because I do love her. But at the same time I feel like I shouldn’t be in a relationship where I don’t find my partner attractive. <br><br>How do I approach this situation, or is it even worth approaching at all?
