Ok so here it goes.

My girlfriend thinks she is fat.
EVERY single day she asks me multiple times if I think she is fat.
When I say that she isn't she gets mad at me and tells me I'm lying.
She calls me a liar and either stop talking to me or hang up the phone.
While she is a little overweight, I will never call her fat.
This is getting frustrating because its so repetitive and nerve wrecking.
Nobody calls her or think she is fat, but she thinks everyone is just saying she isn't just to be nice. But I get the worst end of the stick because she like "you're supposed to be my boyfriend I need for you to be honest and I can't have a boyfriend who isn't honest".

I'm in a dilemma.... it's like I'm dammed if I do and dammed if I don't.

Tell her: I don't think you're fat, but if YOU believe so, lose some weight!

For the record, I find these questions incredibly stupid.

Hey welcome to dating women. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Dump her. The insecurities and low self-esteem will not get any better. Mark my words.

That **** gets old, it gets really old really fast. Tell her that. Be honest and if you find her attractive drive that point home to her. Continue to drive that point home. She still accuses you of lying then dump her.

Maybe it's time to find out if you'd be dammed if you did. Go ahead, tell her you think she's a bit fat. If you dare!

Appears to me that you need to make a decision...

I would stop answering that question and try to get to the real one behind it. Next time she asks, I would say, "Sweetheart, of course not. You're beautiful, just the way you are. I've answered this so many times, yet you keep asking. Why is that? Why do you feel the need to ask me the same question so many times?"

Then I would gently ask if it wouldn't make her feel better to talk to someone about it (a therapist.) Until she addresses the underlying issue, this behavior is unlikely to stop.

On a different note, since you mentioned she is a little overweight, any assistance you can give in a healthy lifestyle as a couple would be a positive thing. That doesn't mean you give her a nasty look if she has a cookie, but you make a conscious effort to support healthier living. Avoid having bags of junk food sitting around the house. Choose restaurants with healthy choices. Go on walks together.
