Does what your SO think affect your goal?

My husband would be thrilled if I stopped losing now. But I tell him just wait until I reach goal...and how much more often I'll want to get naked. He smiles and forgets all about wanting me to stop losing weight.

I never thought it did, but comments here and there have taken root in my brain and have really pushed me. I'm obviously doing it for me, I want to be happy with myself, but there's a part that wants to be like "HA! And you said I couldn't do it!"

He says that he wants me to lose weight/get healthy because he see's that it makes me happy and confident, but that he would love me and be attracted to me no matter what.. Idk if any of that is BS but it makes me feel better.

No, it doesn't. My husband has always been supportive of me, regardless of my weight. He tends to lose weight when I do, though, simply because there's no "bad" food in the house anymore But he's always been pretty thin and muscular - his getting "fat" means a bit of a belly, which makes his pants get tight, but that's about it. Let's just say I hope our son inherited his genes in that department as opposed to mine.

People say a lot of things, for example, "You're not going to lose anymore weight, are you?" that *almost* sound like a compliment (meaning you don't have anymore weight to lose - you look good) but aren't. Those comments are signs of their own insecurity (for whatever reason) in your success.

I'm not saying this is the OP and her SO, but there are a lot of couples whose relationships don't survive one's weight loss, which is really sad. One partner was secure in the other partner's insecurities, and once those insecurities are gone, the formerly secure partner becomes insecure. Couples who get healthy together generally do well, relationship-wise.

So my suggestion is to tactfully try to involve your SO. I mean, you can motivate him up to a point before he gets insulted and/or shuts you down (in other words, don't nag him about it), but if you can do something fun together, he might see how happy it makes you and be more supportive. He might not realize he is stifling your getting healthy!

And that's probably the biggest reason my husband doesn't mind my being so obsessive about working out (because it has become an addiction for me, though I do give myself days off, like today). I definitely walk around naked more now. I mean, not intentionally walking around naked, but I strip outside the bathroom before getting in the shower these days. I used to strip in the bathroom, then get in the shower. I'm sure he appreciates that

My SO thinks I am nuts to be dieting and counting cals at all. He hates when I buy diet food or obsess. I think he keeps me a little more sane than I would be without his reasoning.

Luckily my current boyfriend is supportive of my choice in being rather slim. To be honest, he's said he'd be perfectly happy if I were fat, thin, muscly, whatever. He just wants me to be happy with myself. I can count myself very lucky to have someone like him, hah!
My last boyfriend was very iffy about my gaining weight. He was extremely thin [naturally] so of course, when I gained any extra pounds it really showed. But my current is a wee bit chubby, in such a cute way though, that he isn't bothered. He thinks I'd look gorgeous [I really wish that were true!] either way. So yay.
I just hope he doesn't change his mind when I finally get down to my goal weight & realise just how slim I want to be haha!

My husband really hasn't given an opinion on my goals. He does High 5 me when I come home from a workout bragging on my badas$ery. He asks me how my workout was when I pass him in the kitchen in the mornings. And I catch him making comments to friends about how great I look and how dedicated I am.

Lucky, I know!

My husband is very supportive of my weight loss and does what he can to make things easier for me around the house... When I say "Im trying to bring the sexy back" his response is that it never left! LOL.. He always tells me that I don't need to lose any weight and that I look sexy the way I am..

But this is for me... I want to feel good when I dress up and step out... Not like a stuffed sausage!! LOL..

I don't give a *&^% what my SO thinks because it is my body.
That is complete and utter crap.
Do it for you.. muscles / 6 pack / or otherwise - your body will be with you longer than your SO.
That is just basic statistics.
