Yes you can. How do you think I started running? I put one foot in front of the other and ran until I was out of breath.

Obviously, you start somewhere. But you can't keep up with someone already trained. Unless you like injuries. You're deliberately missing the point.

Sounds like a bad day in highschool gym to me. If I were you I would approach him and say "a weight battle is an emotional roller coaster and when your life partner mocks you for taking a step in the better direction it sends you 12 steps backwards. Instead of crying anymore for your lack of support and your juvenile tendencies, I am angry, and will lose this weight for myself and only myself and maybe from this you will gain some perspective too."

Even if you choose to keep quiet, just remember only you can control what you eat and how you treat your body. Join a local group of walking women, and if you don't have one, create one! Show yourself you can do this, because you can.

Hes probably just saying to you what he wanted to say to his parents, he probably doesnt understand that just because he didnt end up like them its not that easy for everyone, and most people need encouragement and support. My bf used to think it was as easy as "eating less food" and didnt understand how i could be hungry all the time, now hes gained weight and an apetite hes eating his own words aswell as everything else in the house.

but the point is dont take it personaly its more to do with him and his issues hen any reflection on you as person, yes i know this is easier said than done, but maybe rather than expecting him to change his opinions, which if he developed them growing up will be VERY difficult to change, look to other places for support (like here). Besides in general its alot easier to talk to someone in the same boat rather than expect some kind of inspirational advice from someone who doesnt have a clue.
