Partner wants you to lose weight.

Yes, as others have suggested, a few small steps might be a good way to start. Even slight improvements in fitness are helpful and may lead to more steps down the road.0

We have been together for almost 2 years and within the first few months of us getting together (we were friends for 3 years beforehand) I lost my father to a stroke, a month later I almost lost my mum to a heart attack.
I am slightly overweight and could do with losing some pounds. My eating habits are generally poor and I do desperately want to make changes. My dad was a smoker and overweight/drinker. My mum was (gave up after the heart attack) a smoker. Since this has happened my partner was concerned for my health and has stated that she wants me to lose weight and generally be more healthy and take care of myself.
I am not upset that she has said it. It is fair. I want to be healthy for her and my future family but I just struggle with it and I am upset that my lifestyle has resulted in my partner having to say anything at all.
She herself is a good weight and generally keeps active although her diet can poor at times. It is something we both acknowledge that we need to work on.
I love her so much and losing her is not what I want (she has not stated she will leave by the way) but I just can't motivate myself to make changes. I am more than welcoming of any comments and suggestions as I know how pathetic this sounds.
Thanks!

This was interesting. Question: Analysis by paralysis...
I know what I need to eat but getting myself to do it is just a pain... to many changes... freak out... fall of band wagon. Do you think a good place to start is just to do better than I did yesterday
I know what is a healthy breakfast so start with that... maintain for two weeks then work on healthy lunch... maintain for 2 weeks then work on healthy dinner
Likewise the gym... just go... do something... to build a habit?
Yes! That's what I've been doing recently. Work on one meal, give it a go, work out all the bugs, let things settle, then move on to the next meal or snack when I'm ready.
About your girl, I'm sure she just meant to express concern about your health and hope you are and will be okay. Try not to be embarrassed or slighted by it. I'm thrilled to see you're taking steps; it'll work out 3 -
Inactivity increases the chance of a stroke. So if you want to do it for her and family I suggest you start off by walking 10-15mins per day, for couple of days. Gradually increasing the time and days. Being constant is the key. Walk with your women, and it won't even feel like exercise. Spring is here, it's a good time to start.3

I lost my mother less than a year ago, so I can relate to the loss you've felt. She was my best friend as well as my mother, so double whammy. A loss can really knock us in ways we weren't expecting. I'm sure you're no different. So, before anything else, know you're okay and you'll be fine.
Pardon the length of this, I know I'm a bit wordy at times.
First, I'd like to say that I admire your honesty with yourself. I admire that you acknowledge that your SO wants what is best for you, even if you aren't quite ready to accept what that "best" is at this point.
Second: You're aware to some degree of what you want and why. That's a great start. I think, and I could be very wrong, but I think that even though you want what is right, you've found you're not quite willing enough to follow thru to get what you want because it feels safe for right now. You're straddling the fence, so to speak. You want it, but you don't want it enough. Something to ponder over: It's possible you're wanting it for the wrong reasons. While it's wonderful and admirable to want to be healthy because you love her, if you take her out of the equation, what are you left with? I suppose what I'm trying to say, is that it's possible you aren't motivated because you're not really doing it for you.
As far as "I am upset that my lifestyle has resulted in my partner having to say anything at all", I so get that. No one wants to hear it, but yeah, we do need to hear it at times. We're smacked in the face with what we've been trying to hide from. It's a wake up call, but oh the guilt.
Ok, so since I know I give up too easily or get discouraged or (in time) lack motivation, like you, I had to start at the very beginning and think of what I really wanted. Did I just want to get thin? Did I just want the scale numbers to go down? Did I just want to get rid of the fat, the ashamed feelings, and the guilt? OR Did I want to be healthy? Strong? Confident? Once I figured out what I truly wanted, I had to dig deeper. I got out a pen and paper. I suggest you do the same. Start writing down reasons WHY you want what you've decided on. For me, I can't help but think, "well DUH, I want to be thinner!" While it may be truthful, it's not going to be a sustaining reason. Still, if that's all you can write down.
For me, I don't want to get diabetes. I was tested and I don't even have pre-diabetes, so that's great, but I hate needles, so I reallllly don't want to get it. A couple other less peronsal reasons were: I want to fit into smaller clothes. I want to feel more confident and less ashamed. Anyway, write out your list. Give it a lot of thought. Write down as many reasons as you can and keep your list in a place where you know you'll find it.
When you hit those "I don't want to go to the gym" moments or those "I don't really care" moments, go get that list. Read it out loud and ask yourself if anything has changed. Now ask yourself what you want more. Do you want to temporarily satisfy your taste buds and sabotage your health and possibly other important things in your life, or do you want to enable yourself to be the stronger, more confident you that you want to give to your loved one? (Don't ask what you want more between pie or losing weight. That's not the ultimate goal or outcome).
I ended up writing a list of about 17(ish) reasons. I saved the best for last, and I think everyone should have it as the last reason... simply because it's the most important. When it comes down to it, I want what I want BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT (and so are you). By the time I get to that last reason, I'm refocused on my true reasons, I'm motivated to get moving, and I make the right choice and have always been happy for it. Maybe your list can do the same for you. Find your worth and reclaim yourself.

There is a psychological condition known as Readiness for Change. There are different levels that indicate a person's readiness to make meaningful changes in their lives.
The fact is that, if you are not there emotionally and psychologically, all the prodding, nagging, helpful suggestions, ultimatums, etc, are likely going to be useless. I worked for 8 years in cardiac rehabilitation when I first started my professional career. Even a heart attack or bypass surgery wasn't enough to motivate people to mkae long-term changes if they weren't ready for it.
I agree with your decision to look into counseling. It's important to find that "switch" inside you that prevents you from moving forward to healthier changes.
I also recommend trying to start an exercise program. Doesn't have to be complicated or even particularly strenuous--just some structured activity that's just hard enough to effect some small fitness improvements. I usually make this suggestion first rather than focusing solely on calorie restriction or losing weight. Why? Because changing eating habits is a lot harder and often takes a lot longer to see meaningful results. It's usually easier to "force" yourself to do a little activity each day. It's a public demonstration to your SO that you are making an effort. And, IMO, small improvements in fitness can be a good motivation and "base" to make further positive lifestyle changes. When you feel more fit, you feel better about yourself, and when you feel better about yourself, you can become more motivated, inspired, etc, to make even more lifestyle changes -- ie. diet.
It's still an external motivator, but I have found that it can also be a pathway to internal motivation, which is the key to making permanent changes.
In the meantime, don't beat yourself up if you are finding it hard to start the process. Don't get caught up in the "I just have to be strong and do it" self-criticizing trap. The emotional forces involved can be strong. Set yourself up for success by taking small, achievable steps. Good luck.
I couldn't agree more with everything you said - no need to comment then !1 -

I know what I need to eat but getting myself to do it is just a pain... to many changes... freak out... fall of band wagon. Do you think a good place to start is just to do better than I did yesterday

You can eat what you like, as long as you're in a calorie deficit you will lose weight, obviously eating a more balanced diet is better nutritionally for you but making small changes can have a big reward. Sometimes the mentality that you have to make drastic changes and eat bland food you don't like to lose weight can stop you before you even start. It's just not necessary, there are awesome recipes for Fakeaways and tasty lower calorie comfort food on Pinterest. When you try to restrict yourself from eating foods you enjoy, you are more likely to self-sabotage, binge and quit, which puts you back at square one.
I second @Theo166's suggestion of logging what you are currently eating for a couple of days, don't worry about calories or macros, just use it as a tool to see what you are putting into your body. At the end of the week you can look through it and see where most of your unnecessary calories are coming from. Also add some people on MFP as friends, having people who are on the same journey as you can be a big help for motivation and accountability.
For me it was cooking with a good slosh of Olive Oil all the time, so I switched to spray oil and just use enough to stop the food sticking, that in itself can cut back 150-200 calories per meal and also reducing the amount of chocolate I would keep in the house, I now buy the kids snack size Dairy Milk bars (95 cals a bar) instead of keeping a big block of Galaxy in the fridge and eating it all in one night.
Meal planning has also been a game changer for me, I plan a week ahead, I base my shopping list on my Planner sheet and don't buy things that aren't on it. I prep my workday lunches on a Sunday and then it's all ready to go. I factor in nights out, a proper takeaway or pic n mix if I'm going to the cinema and either work in a bit more activity, bank some calories from other days or have a lighter lunch that day. I don't always rigidly stick to it, sometime I swap my days about. It doesn't work for everyone but it's worked great for me, previously I was a serial starter who would quit after 10 days, because I kept thinking I had to live on the minimum figure that MFP spits out. I'm now on day 78 of logging and Week 15 of meal planning, I've quit the gym and do workouts I enjoy at home and borrow a dog to increase my walking. I'm saving money and I've lost 8kg so far (17.5lb)

I have two suggestions for you

- Start reading up on stuff related to healthy diet and being at healthy weight. Figure out your BMI and what is your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure)
Increasing your awareness of where you are, and some benefits that might come with change will help you with your decision and ability to make constructive changes. You don't have to become an ultra marathoner, small changes can have a huge impact.
I took your advice. I have logged today and will carry on this week. It has actually been useful as I rocked up 2,200 calories and 1100 of that was from my dinner...8 -

Congrats! Just logging can be so powerful, you will naturally start to curb what you consider as excess. No outside forcing required.
I luv me a Jack In the Box lg Oreo Cookie Shake, but it's now not so appealing when I consider it's 1,100 calories all by itself. I will have it again, but I don't have the urge every time I drive by their very convenient location.2 -

I can see how you would naturally start to curb I food intake. It is weird to think how much you eat without thinking about it!!!4 -

Good man! Keep that up!
Don't take on too much - remember only one bad habit at a time.2 -
So I have spent the week logging my current diet. I am eating between 2,500 and 3,000 calories a day! No wonder I am gaining weight and no wonder when I drastically cut my body cannot cope with it. Anyway, I have been shopping and am having a protein rich breakfast of eggs, bacon, mushrooms and low calorie bread for the week and a packed lunch for lunch. I will eat dinner as normal and keep tracking while trying to keep my calorie intake at maintenance.8

I met my boyfriend when I was 205 lbs, although I lost a lot of weight over that summer and was 165 when we started dating. Now I am 230 and he has admitted that he's no longer physically attracted to me. Although it hurts to hear, I am appreciative for the wake up call. I couldn't go on like this, and I haven't been happy with myself, my eating, or my spending (I've already saved almost $50 on food in the ONE WEEK I have been back on the wagon). My boyfriend is standing by me as I lose weight both for myself and for him. I want to be around to live a long and healthy life together.2

Perhaps we should buddy up!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you are getting the ball rolling by tracking what you eat. It's really surprising the things we eat without thinking about it!
I think a lot of people are just overwhelmed by the changes that go along with losing weight, especially since eating is often a "comfort" thing. OP, even if it seems complicated and overwhelming now, you will quickly get the hang of it. Hang in there!0 -
My husband never made me feel bad about my weight. But when I suggested to him that I was ready to lose weight, the conversation went something like this:
"How much did you want to lose?"
"I don't know, like 20 pounds?"
"You should go for 30."
"What? I don't need to lose THAT much, do I?"
Silence... then, "I'll buy you a whole new wardrobe if you lose 30."
"Sold!"
Morale of the story: I needed a bit of a reality check after being in denial of how much I was overweight, which he gave me, plus motivation with the promise of shopping! I ended up losing almost 40 pounds and definitely needed those new clothes. Sometimes we need a little tough love from those closest to us.4 -
OP I understand where your GF is coming from and what she is feeling. She wants you to be healthy and to have a long life with you. That's love right there. I want that for my hubby.
I lost 70 lbs through Weight Watchers and MFP after health scares. No one needed to tell me twice to straighten up! I did it out of love for self, him, and my kids. Not to say you don't love her, the fact that you are concerned shows you do, and that concern you have is commendable.
Hubby gained alot of weight and is now having health problems, some of which affect his family members. I don't want that future for him, but he says he can't do what I did to lose weight (exercise, weighing, measuring, logging) because "it's too much work". I don't want to give up on him, but what is there for me to do but to respect his decision for now and hope for the best. He does eat what healthy things I cook, so that's good. I just encourage him where I can.
So try to look at it as your girlfriend loves you and wants the best for you, not to change you.2 -

Right, lots of people burnout from trying to do too much too soon. Baby steps!
You said you're "a little" overweight - if you have less than 25 pounds to lose, set your weekly weight loss goal for just a half pound per week - many people go for two pounds per week, which creates too aggressive a deficit for those with just a little to lose.0 -

IMHO even if you have a lot of weight to lose, it's good to start by targeting just a half pound/week. Maintaining a calorie deficit for 2 lbs is a huge challenge right out of the gate and can trip you up vs just starting to track and clean up your act.0 -
OP - why not make it a fun project that you and your partner can do together? MKe small small changes to BOTH of your diets. Search healthy recipies, shop and cook together, go for a walk together after supper. Take Sundays to work together to plan meals for the week and prep and pack lunches ahead of time. Eating well can be fun and can be done together. Weight loss may be a nice by by product.0
