My BF doesn't intentionally sabotage me (I don't think he does anyway) but his eating habits and what he cooks are clearly not on the menu for me.  What makes it really hard is that having him cook a meal for me is very sweet.  He's a great cook.  What I try to do is eat only a portion of what he cooks (usually 1/3) and then save the rest for other meals.  I make a big deal about how delicious it will be for lunch tomorrow.  For instance, my favorite meal is chicken parmasean and he makes these huge portions.  I usually get three meals out of it. 

I think the most important thing for anyone in a relationship who has weight issues and is not getting the support from the s/o is that eating habits need to  be formed individually. You need to make sure your fridge is stocked with healthy snacks for you. 

You probably don't eat three meals together anyway, right? It seems that dinner is the issue.  Maybe you could alternate nights cooking--make his portions a bit bigger if need be so he doesn't feel like just because you are on a diet he has to be as well.
