Would you rather: A boyfriend or a fried chocolate vanilla creme Pop Tart with Nutella?

My friend was just complaining about her newly vegetarian and overly weight-conscious boyfriend. "If he makes me go on one more silly hike or hit up another farmer's market for a single head of lettuce, I don't know what I'm going to do."

Keep in mind that she's a size 6. (Kate Moss, look what you've done to our society.)

"Every time I eat he says, "Quit while you're ahead!" And every time he says that, I want to eat a fried chocolate vanilla creme Pop Tart with Nutella on top." She said.

My slight attention deficit disorder kicked in with the image of a fried chocolate vanilla creme pop tart w/ Nutella. That sounded relatively creative and delicious.

So folks, what do you think? Does it sound good to you? Seems a little overly sweet, but nothing a glass of milk can't cure, right? Also, feel free to weigh in on how she should handle the beau. When it comes to this guy I say, "Go for the Pop Tart!"

    I think it is one thing to be with someone that is generally concerned about adopting a healthy lifestyle- a person who wishes to share that with his significant other; However if a either party in the relationship shows signs of disrespect in matters that are SERIOUSLY disruptive this needs to be addressed. If these behaviors are creating a hostile breading ground for negative thoughts about self image, and self worth---then this not only degrades the realtionship, it degrades a person. In such a situation, there should be no choice...The "Pop Tart should win"- Hands down!! One can NEVER tell about our bodies, our physical image only says so much about ourselves, and who we are-Likewise our outward appearance is not always in our control (even though we want it to be) Throughout our lives our bodies change for reasons that are not always the most obvious, and for this very important reason, a personal relationship should not soley be entered in for physical attributes---Think about it, in the end we all get will age our bodies will no longer be beautiful. Take the time to feel beautiful inside and out, be as healthy as possible-and find someone who loves you no matter how your shell changes.

    If she is only a size 6, then if I were her, I'd tell him to shove his lettuce where the sun don't shine.

    Walk away from Mr. Critical. Give him a Barbie doll as a parting gift. (Even if he is probably too stupid to understand)

    Quit while you're ahead? I agree! She should take his advise and dump the verbally abusive jerk before he brings her down to his level and gives her eating issues of her own. That fried poptart with nutella sounds like it would be a great companion until she finds someone more worthy of her.

    the problem is that he's trying to push his views upon other people. its fine for him to be a vegetarian and live his life the way he chooses but he shouldn't comment at all on what she eats (especially since she has nothing to worry about). if he has that type of attitude then they are in for a lot of trouble. she should quite while she's ahead and dump him before it gets really ugly between them.

    I dated someone who, "under the guise of my health/weight" made comments similar to that. DUMP HIM!The guy is controlling!! Trust me 5 years later and I still hear my ex's voice when I eat dessert. He is verbally abusive. It will only get worse.

    I'd take that fried chocolate vanilla creme Pop Tart with Nutella on top -- her boyfriend is an a$$hole. Dump him.
