"she likes me the way I am and I shouldnt lift because I'm fine"
anyone else have this problem and what should I do about it....and i'm NOT dumping her 2yrs strong so far lol.

I have been with my girlfriend for about the same time, and If you think you are in a serious relationship, and the one you "love" (?) doesn't support your goals or values, then you need to rethink the relationship.

Just tell her you are the way you are because you lift.
Simple solution.

 That's as dumb as telling your girlfriend "I want you to get fat because then other boys won't like you."

When she tells you she likes you the way you are, tell her its just one of those things that "doesn't involve her". Tell her you lift for you and no one else. Convince her you aren't lifting because you hate yourself now, tell her your lifting because you like yourself enough that you want to improve... most girls will understand you and be cool with it.

Lift before you go to bed at home, no ever has to know you even lift, just tell her you don't know why you're getting bigger.

my advice is do what makes you happy. typically right? you obviously like her and like bodybuilding. tell her it helps your self esteem and you like what your doing and that your not stopping for anyone well unless you have no dedication toward bodybuilding then stop. my girlfriend likes working out herself, she likes me lifting. she feels safe. you can tell her your becoming this way to protect her and if not tell her she doesnt respect your decisions and doesnt respect you. so get a new girlfriend

wtf dude
Just ignore it. She's certainly not gonna dump you, because you lift. This really won't be an issue, unless you make it one.
