Does You Spouse Motivate Or Complicate Your Weight Loss?

Neither, really. He looks after the children at weekends when I want to exercise, but aside from that, he keeps out of it. Doesn't put me off, but doesn't encourage either. He has only commented on my weight loss when I have outright asked him, and even then only in one word replies!

I've got one like that

My wife and I are both on MFP so we try to encourage each other.

My boyfriend keeps on saying I needn't lose weight but understands that it will make me feel more comfortable. He does encourage exercise (but doesn't do any himself). We only see each other on the weekends and because he eats rubbish fast food I usually give in and undo whatever progress I've made during the weekdays, which is very frustrating. When I insist on cooking a healthy meal he's well up for that and helps me chop veggies etc, but one or two healthy meals unfortunately don't seem to balance out the cheese on toast, pizza and fries we'll end up eating the rest of the weekend. I guess I just need to try and be more proactive about cooking healthily and have more self-control when he's munching on delicious yet fatty food.
