NO, I am as I am for me and no one else I don't care what they encourage. If they encouraged you to jump off the bridge would you? It is your issue for allowing someone else to affect what you normally do with yourself and your body.

Aren't there signs that the person isn't encouraging you to be your best early on? How long do you date them before moving in? IMO this may be a matter of dating someone long enough to know they are good for you and you for them.

I had a first (and last) date with a man when I was doing competitive weightlifting years ago. He knew I was trying to lose a few pounds for an upcoming competition so I could stay in my weight class (I would have had no chance in the next highest weight class). Yet knowing that, as we walked along the boardwalk, he kept trying to get me to stop and eat junk food with him. That's why it was last date as well as first. You need to take responsibility for who you allow into your life, and how much control you allow them to have. Some people are like crabs in the pot, they want you down there with them and will sabotage your efforts to raise yourself.

No. I'm over 45 and I certainly don't look 30 anymore....I could stand to lose a few pounds but I try to exercise most days and I eat right.

Laying around in sweats, drinking, drugging, eating junk, not showering? Heck no. Why are you doing that? It sounds like you might be depressed?

Wait... you move in with people soon after you meet them? Then they encourage you to let yourself go? This is a very unhealthy pattern in every way. You should find someone who brings out the best in you, not the worst.

Are all these people you've found who encourage you to use drugs and gain a lot of weight and shower rarely research students by any chance? If they follow you around with a petri dish and a scraper make sure you get named credit when they publish their results.

I'm thinking troll thread. No way can this be serious.
Almost 12 hours since the OP joined and posted and no further activity...

I know, right?

It can be mildly entertaining when they come back and argue points.
But this one doesn't appear to be intelligent enough for that.
