My boyfriend doesnt want me to lose weight

WifeNMama

My husband likes me on the squishy side, but he also knows that I want to be a smaller, healthier size so I feel confident. And confidence is a lot more attractive than any "magic size."
There is nothing wrong with someone having a preference of how their significant other looks. It only becomes a problem.when the person insists that their significant other has to look a certain way or act a certain way. Some people are simply not compatible, and some people are more willing to compromise.
Obviously, you feel the need to lose some weight to stay competitive in a sport that is important to you. There isn't a lot of room for compromise there. This might just have to be an area where you agree to disagree.

I had once a boyfriend who didn't want me to lose weight either, he preferred me slightly chubby, well, later on I found he was going online and checking pics of very fit girls!! it annoyed me soooo much, I slaped him in the face, how was it that there were no chubby girl at all in the naked pic he was checking?...Well.. he still made his point by going out with a couple of chubby girls after he became my ex, so perhaps it's true he mainly likes the face, and he loves some lovehandles to grab.... but yeah, just ignore him, keep losing weight your way, he's just probably scared that more guys will try to date you if you become even hotter!! I think that's all! so yeah, go girl for your dream, you're too young to give it up for a man, if he really loves you he should love you slimmer or heavier. , but after all your body belongs to you.

Maybe he's jealous? Maybe he just loves your body the way it is? It seems like he wouldn't be doing it to make sure you knew he's happy with you the way you are. He should be supportive. Do this for you. You don't want to be with somebody who doesn't support something you care about so much, do you?
