Does anyone on here have a significant other that just brings them down with everything that you try to do to better yourself?? I mean .. like you try to lose weight and all they do is damn near force feed you crappy food or make you so depressed that you binge eat to no end??? Just wondering

    No one can control what I shovel into my mouth except me. I always thought that was a weird concept.

    Totally this. You can't force feed me anything. I'm grown. I eat what I want.

    If I did I would be getting a new one.. Sorry you are going through an SO that is a SOB..

    Since I do not have any details about you or your relationship, just eff em, ignore and do your own thing despite what they or any other human being on the planet thinks or says. or ditch and replace.

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I would say it is something typical of someone with insecurity or low self-esteem. He or she sabotages your diet so they feel better about their own issues. I don't know if he or she is overweight but there are some issues that may need addressing. If it continues or gets worse and you want to continue in the relationship, I would recommend seeing a licensed counselor. Good luck!

    When people react the opposite way, in which they expect/desire you to; they either don't bother and/or change, how they; treat you!

    Stand up for yourself! You are in control of you and people that try to control you shouldn't be in your life.

    Children or not, unless talking really changes things completely and permanently I think you should try and find support to get out of the relationship, and get as much custody of the kids as you can too. Whatever he says it's far less healthy or safe for them to have to grow up with that kind of influence and it's not good for you either.

    I do know it can be hard though, but there seem to be plenty of people here to support you if you need it and I wish you the best of luck.

    Just curious, do you actually answer him when he does these things?

    I'd give advice but I'd probably be yelled at for not being married so I couldn't possibly be qualified to give advice.

    Before I started MFP in 2012, I use to eat nothing but junk food. My wife on the other hand ate healthy. I never forced her to eat the way I did and I was always impressed by her willpower to avoid the fried, fatty foods. She also never forced me to eat healthy. None of us fully knows your situation, but maybe have a heart to heart with your SO. Let him know EXACTLY how you feel. Remember, guys are not good at catching hints or reading in between the lines.
