    I'm going to suggest something a little different than the other posts. You obviously care about him or you wouldn't be asking this or hanging around. Your boyfriend may very well be an abuser. But he could also just be totally unaware. Some men are like that. I would suggest that before you throw out someone you care about, you have an earnest sit-down talk with him. Does he know how his comments make you feel? - A question to you - have you accepted his comments on your weight without objection in the past? If you have, it's time to object. It's time to let him know how his attacks have hurt you, that you want to be happy with your body FOR YOU, whether or not he's happy about it.

    If you don't get answers that satisfy you, then it really is time to point him toward the door.
    I like you!!!:flowerforyou:

    Talk to him about it.

    If he's still a jerk, dump him.

    Be happy with yourself sweetheart. He will never be happy. Sounds like you need to move on. This is just a sample of what`s to come.

    Gonna get hate but people need to stop sugar coating everything. No-body gets motivation to lose weight by being told they are a "perfect weight"

    Calling someone fat over 15 pounds is not motivation.

    This guy is just plan rude. I'm sorry. You are the normal weight for your height and the fact that your boyfriend thinks your chubby is not correct. If you feel you need to loose weight then by all means do it! but DO NOT loose it because of him! Be confident in yourself, and you love your body even if this guy doesn't!

    So true: when I criticize your pants size, what I'm really worried about is your enlarged heart.

    Nope but calling her the perfect size isn't going to get her to do anything, she said "My boyfriend thinks I am out of shape and chubby." so he didn't say it as harshly as everyone is saying? And 15 pounds goes a long way especially when she is at the very top of the "healthy" section on the bmi scale

    I gotta agree with ginny22890.

    My wife was a little overweight (and so am I). She has lost over 20+ pounds in 2 months and is near 150 and she looks great - I mean HAWT!! I love her curves and the rest of her. Been married for 20 years. Be happy with yourself, and when you're not, do something about it.

    I am working out now and losing, but I know my wife loves me the way I am. I have gained 40 pounds in the 23 years we have known each other. I intend to be at the weight she met me and married me at (205) and in good shape.

    A boyfriend supports his woman, not being rude and a jerk. Dump his *kitten* and find someone that is kind and appreciates you, and more important, contributes to you feeling good about yourself. Good guys find ways to be nice, kind, and supportive.
    He sounds like a super douche bag. If you're happy with how you look that should be all that matters.....leave his *kitten*

    You need to find someone who lifts you up and encourages you to be the best version of you. This is not ok
    You need to move on. I can't believe he would say something like that to someone he 'loves'!

    It's awful and really insensitive for him to say something like that to you.[that's me putting it nicely] You deserve to be treated better, girl, to be with someone that lifts you up and loves you for YOU!!!

    OP - for most of my first marriage, I was 110 - 118 (5'4'') and size 0-2. Anytime I gained a few (5-10) my ex would tell me I was "swelling up," call me "wide-end," and generally make me feel like *kitten*. I am now married to a "real man" who loves me for who I am am, not for what I look like. I am on MFP because "I" want to lose some of the "love pounds" I have gained since I have been with him. I am now 139 lbs - which is more than I have weighed in my whole life - yet I am determine to be 125 (still more than I have ever been) because "I" will feel happier at that weight. My husband loves me completely, irregardless of what the scale says - or what my dress size is.

    Kick the loser to the curb! :mad: He is not worth another thought in your head!

    If you want to lose 10lbs, then lose it because you want to do it for yourself. :flowerforyou:

    That little boy who you've been wasting your time with needs to run along, and you should wait for a real man to come along.:heart:

    As Bugs Bunny used to say, "What a Maroon!" :bigsmile:
