Hiding diet from boyfriend?
| Fri, 11-26-2004 - 11:43pm |
I really want to go on a diet and lose weight. I guess that I'm not technically overweight, but I still want to be really thin. I think that I would be happier and that I would look a lot better. The only problem is that my boyfriend wouldn't want me to go on a diet. For the most part, I pretend to be confident about my appearance, and he likes that. He doesn't know that I really actually think I'm fat, though. He thinks that I'm all right with the way that I look. I don't want him to figure out that I think I'm fat and want to diet. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can hide my dieting from him?

I would say that the first step no matter what is to talk to your doctor.
Oh sweetie, I can't advocate hiding from anyone you care about.
Along with the great advice from the others, I would add this:
Whatever happened to just eating right and exercising? You don't need a diet to be a healthy size. And its not like you'd have to worry about hiding that from your bf because eating right and exercising is good for anyone no matter what size they are... He could even join in. A diet is only needed for those who are seriously overweight. You don't sound overweight. Hmmm... I don't know if this was really all that helpful or not, I just thought if you're that concerned about your weight, then making sure you eat right is better than dieting. I hope I'm not out of line here...

Thanks for being so kind to me and for giving me such great advice. I agree with what you are saying about appreciating a boyfriend who accepts me the way that I am. I don't know what I would do if I had a boyfriend who pushed me to change. I think that would really make me miserable. My boyfriend always says that I shouldn't be so hard on myself, which is sweet of him to say.
I just can't stop thinking about losing weight, though. I'm just angry at myself for not looking the way that I want to look. I could look really good if I would just discipline myself and lose weight. I'm currently 5'8" and my weight fluctuates between 130 and 135 lbs. I'm sorry if I'm not really making sense. I just kind of freak out about this sometimes.
