My thing is I just feel awkward knowing I'm a big girl and he's fairly small, plus I eat more than him. And I know in the future I may feel awkward about having tickle fights, him not being able to pick me up, etc, etc....
Which of course I can lose weight but it's years and it's so hard for me to see that happening for me. I'm gonna join Planet Fitness and get a Fitbit, and hoping that'll motivate, so there's that, but it can be awkward. But hopefully I'll feel better about it?

I hope you see this, since I know it's comically late that I'm replying to this now. But first of all, don't lose weight for your boyfriend. Lose weight for YOU. Your relationship won't be able to handle that pressure if you're losing weight for him and by the sounds of it, he doesn't care about how much you weigh anyway.
I can completely relate to you, my BF is 145 lbs at 5'8" and is in amazing shape. I'm 175 lbs and close to obesity at this point. We're celebrating 8 years together tomorrow, and throughout that time I've been 200 lbs and 149 lbs. He's been with me through it all, through my awful eating habits stage and my super fit stage.
Love is love, it doesn't see weight or image, it's about the person. If you let the weight become an issue, then it will be an issue. There are times when I shy away from physical contact because I worry he's judging me if he puts a hand where I have a lot of pudge. That's not good! I should accept his adoration no matter what I think about myself.
I hope this helps!
