Ok so I wasn't sure where to post this thread so I just decided why not here?
When I started dating my boyfriend I weighed around 170lbs. Not my lowest or healthiest, but not terrible either. Around 1 month ago I was weighed at my doctor's office to be 193 lbs. I know it's my own responsibility when it comes to eating, but does anyone else have problems with eating more when they have their boyfriend/girlfriend around?
On a related note: I've been a bad influence on him as well. He went up from 200 lbs to 250 lbs since dating me. I know he wants to be fit, but he ends up just asking me if we can go get ice cream or cookies on a regular basis. I don't want to be his mother and tell him no...but on the other hand the more I walk into places that specialize in candy and other unhealthy things the harder it is for me to resist them.
I'm not sure how to avoid the pitfalls of gaining weight while dating. And now how to keep from sliding off track when I'm around him. And lastly, how to motivate him to get on track also. I've gone down to around 184-185 again and I want to continue to lose, but I feel really frustrated because I know he wants to eat a lot more than I do, and he loves it when we're sharing food that we have exactly the same amount. He doesn't seem to understand that I CANT eat the same portions that he can. It's just frustrating.
Phew. Did that all make sense? I sure hope so.
