    I don't know. I'm not hiding it from him and would tell him if he asked but it's not something that comes up.

    My boyfriend knows and he's the one putting me on a diet. I'm pretty much fine with my weight and body, but he keeps calling me fat.
    Sounds like a real winner

    He does and then harangues me for eating less. Says all I need to do is just move more instead of cutting calories.

    My husband knows. He isn't with me for what the number on the scales says. :) I don't even think he remembers what it is lol. This is my thing anyway.

    Yes. We're doing MFP together, and celebrate every new low.

    I can imagine, though, that if I weighed more than him, I'd probably want to keep that to myself.

    He does. He also helps me take my measurements and vice versa.

    Yup, mine too.

    When I first started my weight loss journey, one of my biggest hopes was to be lighter than him.

    Uhhhh....yeah, he knows my weight...or a general idea I suppose the last time the number came up. We support each other. However, we don't subscribe to the social beliefs that your weight determines your value. We don't stigmatize a number, so it's never been something that we've had to associate shame or pride in.

    I know why most have trouble with this statement, but jumping right to telling them the dump them is a bit extreme. They could be comfortable in their body, but obese and their loved one wants them to be more healthy. We don't know the full story. Also-some people enter controlling relationships willingly, not anyone's place to judge.

    He knows mine and I know his and none of it really matters to us, just that we're healthy.

    Mine does - we're going through this journey together. I've got the best cheerleader in the world and even when the scale goes up, he's very supportive and helps me work that much harder. I know that he loves me no matter what the number, but know the healthier we are the longer we can love on each other.

    There is a difference between entering into a mutually consenting controlling relationship and having your SO call you fat and put you on a diet.

    Again, only part of the story.
