No Support from your SO?

It's hard chap- I guess it just depends to how much you want it, people here are always munching on crap at their desks but I see a chocolate bar and think is that worth 30 mins on a treadmill.....99/100 it's not.

My missus eats like a pig and is still a slim size 8 but I look at the cake and I gain. She a bit sensitive to my needs with regards to eating junk or not offering me stuff. I met her when I was a fatty boom boom and we hooked up after I had lost 7 stone, so she can't complain that I train or anything because we wouldn't be together today. I'm not implying she wasn't interested because I was fat, it was the confidence I gained from becoming healthier and happier that led to us becoming an item.

I do have a cheat meal once a week where I eat what I want and as much as I want so we share that as a bonding time in order to satisfy her cravings as much as my own.

I don't have kids so can't comment there- but what about going swimming with them or going to the park to play football or something. Kills two birds with one stone for lack of a better phrase.

My hubby attempts to be supportive but we aren't always on the same page. He will try to make dinner once in a while but what he thinks is a healthy dinner and what I think is a healthy dinner are very different. He's not always too excited about trying my new healthy recipes either. We are figuring it out though!
Luckily as far as snacks go, I like sweets and he likes salty things.

nope i get why are you trying to lose weight your fine, oo your not heavy , heres some chocolate etc

My current SO that I've been with for about 2 years has been really supportive. He's always liked bigger women, and he's never minded putting up with a round tummy to get the curves he likes, but even after losing my initial weight before we got together (around 50lbs) I'm still self-conscious about my body. He's very good about letting me know that he finds me attractive now, that he wouldn't have cared when I was heavier, and that if I want to lose weight, that's my prerogative and he'll do what he can to help.

He already works an active job, but he'll still come on walks with me some evenings and the occasional hike or longer walks on weekends so that I'm not just being active alone, and he's happily tried about a billion strange meals that I thought might be interesting or good or just had amazing macros. Even though we live together, we still eat a lot of food apart, so that seems to work out well. He does eat and keep tons of junk food in the house -- I don't think he's ever gone a day without a couple cans of pop and a bag of chips -- but he doesn't encourage me to eat it or really offer me it anymore (other than the odd soda, if we're already making a decision to eat something bad, like ordering a pizza).

When I first started losing weight the SO I had however was completely not supportive. He actively encouraged me not to work out, to continue to eat poorly, etc which had a lot to do with the abusive dynamic of the relationship; it's a lot easier to make someone feel like they don't have options, when you're constantly making them feel bad about their body and working to make them feel less attractive.

I think for me, developing a healthy lifestyle wasn't just about the food I was going to put into my body, it was about getting the unhealthy influences out of my life. My current SO is a healthy choice, we support each other, he wants me to feel good about myself and doesn't see me losing weight as a negative if it's what I want to do, nor does he belittle me if I have a few really healthy weeks and then go a little nutty over a weekend.

He has joked that he gets final decision on when I should stop though haha

Not really... my wife understands but she is more worried that I will never be happy with my body.. I am happy, but I want to keep improving.

She on the other hand, was model (kind of as a hobby in High School and a bit after college and worked with a local agency on some small gigs.. .she wasn't flying to Italy for shoots... damn I wish) but is professionally a teacher.

She was always very thin naturally and could eat what she wanted.. but after college it was harder for her to keep weight off and she has gained some. But the problem is, while I'm trying to lose weight she is still eating in front of me whatever she wants. It is proving to be very frustrating.

Definitely not! He is resentful of the time and energy I put in to building a healthy lifestyle. He thinks it's silly, and is not willing to help with kids or anything else. I am so envious of couples who both enjoy the same kind of active, healthy lifestyle. It would be so much fun to have a partner like that.

Makes me happy I am single.

My husband is an amazing support. We've been eating "clean" and he's 100% in. He doesn't even cheat and have a pop at work or anything like that (even tho I have told him he can, he just can't tell me or I'll want to cheat haha). We don't have kids but he will make dinner or walk the dogs or whatever I need to help get my workouts in and he's the first person to say "no" when I have a craving. He even makes sure I'm awake before he leaves in the morning (at 4:45am ) so I have time to do an AM workout. I couldn't do it if he wasn't like that! And the best part is he's completely happy with how I look now and how I may look later so its not like he's doing it cuz he thinks I'm not attractive, he's just doing it because I asked him to

He's even been losing weight and is thrilled about it!

I don't get much support, a little I guess, in that she will actually buy a few things (for me) that are in my diet, or ask me, but otherwise nope.
