Weight loss = Relationship

Have you ever been pressured to lose weight?  How many times do you have to tell me.   If you care for the relationship you would have lost weight by now... 

Yes, too many times to count, and by people who were suppose to love me unconditionally.  

Unconditional love is unconditional anyone "pressuring" you to lose weight is not worth your time. If they cannot understand how difficult it is then get rid of them. Anyone who is supporting you would know pressure doesn't work, but positive reinforcement might be good for you. Don't give up!

Luckily I have never had a relationship that has pressured me to lose weight. Even in my bad relationships my partners were very supportive of loving me just the way I am. Even if you lose the weight they will want you to change something else. You need someone who will love you for you

I agree.  Unconditionally is suppose to mean just that, and since then, I have learned and have had to undo a lot of psychological damage and brainwashing.  It's been a long haul, and I'm still working on it, and learning that I am not a bad or worthless person just because I am not "normal weighted".

I feel bad, because some people think its so simple.  But the hardest part of losing weight... i think is staying focussed.  To me that means, NO ADDED STRESSES!!! Heck we know when we have to lose weight.

I have a boyfriend who is a fitness fanactic. He works out 3-5 days a week. Does'nt eat pork, beef, and fish that scavenges. He is really supportive of me and does'nt push his lifestyle on me but he does not understand why people eat emotionally he just feels like you should just be able to do it.

I've never felt pressured to lose weight for a relationship.  I actually was seeing someone once who said it was good that I was fat, 'cause it gave me a big booty :-P .

I will admit when i gained my weight I did notice more baggage back there and I was just telling my friend that when I lose weight I hope I keep some of it but the gut and fat rolls can go.

Hmmm - this thread seems to be a deja vu from yesterday!
