My [19/M] bf is making me[20/F] have body issues.

So me and my boyfriend were having a conversation about how he feels like he’s not attracted to my body type. I’m about 5’7, 130 lbs and I would say I have an hour glass type figure if not to be too arrogant. I’m not like a model or anything. Anyways he kept saying about how he wishes I was thicker and more like the fitness instagram models he sees. “It’s just hard when I see all these beautiful Instagram models who work hard for their body and your just not doing anything”.

I mostly sat quite for this conversation trying to hold back tears. Now I’ll be honest I’m not like a gym rat, it’s just not my thing. I eat healthy and go on hikes and do some yoga at home, but I don’t do all that other stuff cuz it just doesn’t interest me, but he means a lot to me so I’m considering looking more into intense weight workouts and however you get thick.

It just hurt cuz growing up I was really heavy up until about 2 years ago. I was around 250 lbs and it was hard because my mom would constantly drag me down. “Look how thin those girls are” “See if you lost some weight maybe you could finally be happy like those girls” Just the constant comparison along with many other hurtful and harmful jabs. But when he compared me to the models he sees online it just brought all that old stuff up.

So I’m wondering do I give working out a shot for him?

TLDR My [19/M] bf is making me[20/F] have body issues.
