I really have a great SO. We have been together for almost 10 years and he has always been supportive of everything I do. He knows I am very serious about this new healthy lifestyle but whenever I talk about it with him he says, "You're fine the way you are, dont kill yourself trying to be skinny."
First off, Im doing only healthy things. I eat foods that are very healthy and I exercise every day. All positive things.
Secondly, Im not trying to be skinny. I want to be a healthy weight. I want to be able to run and play with our children without getting winded after 5 minutes.
It kind of gets me down when he says things like that. I know he accepts me for me but I would like him to say something like, "Its great that you are getting healthy."
He also tells me Im not fat and I dont have stretch marks lol. Um... I have a mirror and 2 eyes. I know Im fat and I can see the stretch marks. He is always trying to say kind words but thats not what I need right now. Am I just asking for too much?
