Love, Health and Diets: Food fight

Food fight

By hss - 30/05/2011 01:59 - United States

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to go out with him because I was having a fat day. After ten minutes of fighting, he threw a ring box on the floor and stormed out. I basically refused his proposal because of my body issues. FML

Sabotage!

By I choose health - 11/04/2022 18:00

Today, my boyfriend admitted to purposely sabotaging all my weight loss efforts. When I confronted him, he said it’s because he doesn’t want me to get thin and turn into one of those stuck up, snobby, mean girl types that wouldn’t date him in high school. We’re in our 30s dude, get over it! FML

Quite the catch

Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML

Pound for pound

Today, my girlfriend had a huge fight with me because while I'm trying to gain weight and she’s trying to lose some, I’ve still lost more weight than her. Not my fault my body’s natural preference is to drop pounds like they’re hot. FML

In sickness but mainly in health

By Tiff - 27/11/2023 16:00

Today, during our wedding, my new husband said that he’d divorce me if I “let myself go.” Later, he couldn’t understand why I'd got upset and told me, “Why are you so worked up for? If you don’t want that to happen, just eat healthy and exercise daily, it's not that hard.” FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I'm now about 15 pounds overweight. When I called him a hypocrite as he's over 40 pounds overweight, he said that his weight didn't matter because "it's the girl's job to look hot." FML

Today, my girlfriend accused me of being a feeder, saying that's why she's been putting on so much weight. When I said it might be because she eats at McDonald's everyday, and that I was willing to start cooking low-calorie foods for us, she hit me. Then she went to McDonald's. FML

Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I've recently become serious about getting fit, and have lost nearly 84 pounds. Apparently, when I was fat, I made her look smaller in comparison. When I got slimmer, she insisted I either gain the weight back or she'd leave. So she did. FML

Today, I proudly informed my boyfriend that I am now a size 4, down from an 18, after months of dieting and exercising after he told me he would like me to be a size 6. He broke up with me for "not listening to what he wanted" and "being an overachiever". FML

You asked him to help you lose weight at some point. He agreed. That means he has to do his job and encourage you to lose weight, even when you say you give up.

Maybe OP gave up because she has reached her Ideal weight or at least a wieght where she feels she no longer has to lose anything. This may be her only treat in that month too so yes the fiancé is just being a bit of an ass. You don't need to eat healthy food all the time just as long as every meal does not consist of mcdonalds.

While what you say IS a possiblilty, I don't think so. If she worked hard and got to her goal weight, do you think she would have 'pointed out that she GAVE UP' or would she have mentioned that she'd reached her ideal weight??

She may not have reached her ultimate goal but she may have lost enough for now that she's satisfied and is sick to death of dieting. I know I am. I still have 40lbs to get to my ideal weight but I'm satisfied for now where I am so I stopped dieting for awhile.

Give up on dieting, just eat healthier foods, whichever you want, in portions that make you full and adjust your exercise routine to balance, with appropriate fat burning supplements if you're comfortable with them. It's easier to lose weight when you're not focused on a diet, the focus on food and small portions convinces your body that starvation is a danger and it should store fat as a safeguard. A focus on physical performance goals is much more effective.

I agree with that, I hate the idea of diets becuase as soon as I decide to ban foods my mind makes it my mission to have those foods. Dieting dont fit into your life forever but healthy eating does.

why ask for help when you can't even help yourself. you should be grateful he actually cares ! loose some weight, its good for you! if he makes those type of comments then I'm sure he won't pass up someone that keeps their weight down.

He better "pass up" someone else... he's engaged to marry her, being fully aware of her weight.

Give him 2 options: 1: He pays for his the meals and you eat something healthier like he wants you to; or 2: You pay for the meals and you get to eat what you want and he eats what you want him to eat...
