Boyfriend sometimes triggers my ED
| Wed, 06-09-2004 - 12:18pm |
My boyfriend always thinks that he is fat and he's always on some sort of diet. He's not fat at all - 6'2" and about 155 or 160 lbs. He once weighed about 190, so he's lost a great deal of weight. I think that he looked better at his former weight, but he disagrees. His constant weight watching sometimes triggers my eating disorder and makes me want to lose a bunch of weight, too. He tells me that I'm perfect just the way I am and he knows that I've had problems with anorexia and bulimia in the past. Should I tell him that although I support his desire to be healthy, his behavior sometimes makes me want to resort to disordered eating again?

It does make me really angry that my boyfriend's mom doesn't seem to particularly like me or trust me. But then, I don't really like her either. I think that she is too overprotective of both of her sons. It also bothers me that she seems to believe that being pretty is my only good quality. I am flattered that she thinks I'm pretty, since I don't even really think I'm pretty, but I think it's kind of insulting that she thinks all I'm good for are my looks. You are lucky that your fiancee's family is so nice and accepting. I wish that my boyfriend's mother would lighten up and be grateful that someone cares about her son so much.
