If you're choosing to stay in this relationship, I would use this information as ammunition to LOSE THAT WEIGHT. Get your power back by resisting his attempts, knowing he "wants" to keep you in a form that makes "him" feel more secure.

No longer take his advice. Everytime he pushes, smile, then dig your heels. You've got this!
Thank you, MsLady.

He says things like "come on, this won't hurt you. It's just a croissant. it's the weekend" - even though I am protesting, saying I'm dieting and telling him "no". Even after I've said those things, he still tries to convince me to eat the fattening food. I have weak willpower when it comes to sweets, and he knows this.

So yeah, I'm going to have to get crazy determined, dig in my heels and get my strength back.

I'm just super pissed off that he does this to me. It's his own insecurity talking.
