    Yeah, you don't have to dump your boyfriend, but you do have to remove his adorable little desires from the equation of what YOU are going to do with regard to your own eating and exercise, and you do need to make peace with the idea that his "support" is not required for you to do what you want to do here. And, honestly, if you are really serious about this as a permanent relationship, the sooner you do this, the better off you and he will be as a couple in the long run (assuming of course that he can adjust). You are cooking healthy meals. He is eating them or not, as he likes. You are taking on the physical activities that you want to do and doing them when and how it is convenient for you. He is joining in or not, as he prefers. Get it? You lead, and he either follows or gets out of the way. These are simply not matters subject to joint decisions. Those matters will come up in other areas, but not here.
