I've been telling my Boyfriend that I want to start being healthier and feel sexy again. Yet, he just tells me that I'm fine the way I am and I know that's a lie. I wish he would support me by saying things like " That's great! Or what can I do to help? " instead of buying a bag of chips and offering me some the day after I tell him this. My will power is not that strong.

    Unfortunately this is your up taking and not his. So what's your option? You habitually learn some will power. Will it be easy? Probably not, but it's doable. Your best line, "No thanks". If he insists, let him know you're not forcing him to eat the way you do and please be considerate toward what you're trying to achieve.

    I know exactly how you feel. My hubby and step-son are those naturally skinny people. I am natually fat. So they are always eating. You have to buy the food you want to eat and keep it handy. So when he's munching you can munch on something healthy. That way he won't even ask if you want any.

    He probably does like you the way you are. That doesn't mean he won't like you in better shape though.

    You are in charge of your own willpower, motivation, sticktoitness, etc. Don't put your issues on him.
