The only weight you need to lose here is your boyfriend.

The important thing is to feel good about you.
Someone who bases his attraction to you on just the physical aspects will never let you feel good about you.
What exactly makes him think he's such a catch?
You have to like yourself. With someone this shallow you can't.
If you lose weight he'll start to hate your laugh or your housekeeping.
Give him the ultimatum. Lose some weight around his brain.

OP. Ask him to find some one who does not know the taste of Bacon and scramble eggs. why don't you take his other foot and push out of the house and close the door I understand it is not your weight it his excuse and the way of saying that he found another one. He is indirectly asking you to get lost.

He's not your boyfriend any longer, if he's dating other women. And this is good news for you, at any weight. Somebody who cheats as a form of punishment any time he doesn't get his way would make an awful husband.

That still doesn't make a difference since this is not the diet and health area. A man that loves a woman and is thinking of marriage doesn't date other women. The boyfriend (friend? not) is most likely looking for a way to have his cake and eat it too.

I agree that the weight loss starts with losing the boyfriend. The stress of having a cheating boyfriend is not a way to start weight loss.

I once knew a couple and the man had this great dog since he was a teen. The wife told him "Get rid of the dog or I'm leaving you". He got rid of the dog and she left anyway.

What should I do?
If he has already started seeing other women, he's not really your boyfriend anymore. I'd shed about 180 pounds if I were you: Him.

Kick him in the ass on the way out.


Then, get healthy for yourself and your future. It will only get worse if you don't start taking steps now to correct your current situation.

You have no way of knowing whether he would "keep" you even if you did lose weight. What if you lose the weight and he suddenly decides he's going to date other women until you fulfill his requirement that you need to be taller, or shorter, or Japanese?


As others have astutely pointed out, no one knows whether her weight is already healthy and the BF is just a jerk who has unrealistic expectations.


The BF has shown the OP his character, and she has all the information she needs. He's not a keeper.

He needs to have you assit him in moving that other foot out the door. You then need to close the door and lock it.
