This topic was suggested by LittleMissSlim2009:

"How would you react to a partners or friends discomfort, or jealousy, as a result of you losing weight? Would you be prepared to sacrifice your weight loss journey if this issue was influential for the continuation of your relationship?"

Listen to me ramble on... I would NEVER cancel my healthy eating... I'd rather cancel the relationship!

I was wondering if you realize how offensive it is for someone to get your down finger anytime you do not agree.

Well it is and I have seen that pictogram on to many of my comments.

And it is time to feel offended!

I will back off and give you the time to rethink your attitude.

I've lost 45 lbs over the last year - from size 22 to size 12 - and ppl go behind my back and ask my husband if I am sick. Its horrible that now that I dont hate myself, everyone else hates it! People don't know how to deal with success. They aren't used to seeing it, esp with weight. I struggled for 11 years with obesity!

Hello! Have you ever tried intellectus 424 diet (search on google)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate lost lots of weight with it.

[ThankfulGuy]

There is not much we can do about the problems INSIDE OTHERS (such as the boyfriend mentioned), but you just have to take care of yourself, first, w/out any guilt. Human beings are funny. The reaction of one partner, friend, family member, co-worker, to another who starts to show results in a weight loss program, can and do often engender JEALOUSY (sabotage). But you just have to say "it is that person's problem, not mine"). Easy to say, a little harder to put into practice. Hang in there! ;-)

it could also be that, he is worried that once you start getting closer to your goal weight you will start to feel like you are too good for him.

But i also think that he should be able to eat bad foods around you if he wants to..

it is YOUR battle to fight.. its reality, people will be eating shitty foods around you all the time, you cant expect him to hold your hand every step of the way.

if you are serious about it, then be strong. don't take orders from a cookie!

I think it's alright to be "in control of food", just that there are more ways to get the feeling of control. Some just starve them self sickly and feel amazed and gets delusional. Kinda ... I think it's alright to be somewhat narcissistic, as long as you're not criminal and yeah ..

[hotandinfit]

Cool. Free diet avaiable ! Check my profile for more details.

[ncfwhitetigress]

I agree with you about all of this. If you need to end your relationship to be a happier, healthier person, there's nothing wrong with that. It's not narcissistic at all.

[TheStarvingSoprano]

I like to think "I choose not to eat this" rather than "this is banned"... great comment! x

[TheBeautyofVanity]

We have this fight at our house! LOL

Except that we have been together 10 years...both started thin and take-outs/drinking changed that. I think you need a couple things to go-to on this type of situation. Premaking food for the week to make it easy as takeaway helps. Thinking of bad food as hard drugs helps. Looking at my old big clothing and new goal jeans helps. I did blame my BF for it. Now I blame myself and I feel less trapped by it. I look for my alternatives outside of his actions.
