    First of all - I'm sorry for your situation - I know how difficult it can be.

    Secondly - You're doing this for YOU, right? PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN!!! For example: You wake up to an unhealthy breakfast, DON'T EAT IT! Go start your own breakfast (if you can). When he whines about it tell him that you both agreed to eat a healthy breakfast, so you're going to!

    You had a child - you KNOW you're strong. So prove it to yourself (and everyone else)!!!

    AMEN SISTER!!!!

    Get up before everyone else to do your workout. That's what I do and it really starts my day out on the right note, feeling good about myself and less stressed. And don't try to tailor everyone's meals. If they don't eat what you make, they don't eat. If your boyfriend makes something fattening for breakfast, you don't have to eat it, even though it's difficult to have it staring you in the face. Consider it an opportunity to practice control over your choices because those fatty foods are always going to be out there anyway.

    I will try to wake up earlier. That's a good idea.

    I would love to not eat what he makes, but it turns into a fight. Maybe if I do it a few times, though, it will send a message to him.

    This is the best suggestion. If he wants to fight about it--don't fight about it--don't argue. Just be polite and tell him it's not good for you to eat that--it's not in your best interest. Find the will power.
