I think this is a great post above,I ask my family to just make sure I always have a bottle of water with me and a protein shake incase.They never say anything to me when I am eating.My daughter will watch me but I think that is because she worries that I will not feel well and get sick.
LOVE that... I'm totally suggesting to OH people that we need a 'like' button. lol
Totally agree!

It's a joke because his mother said I wasn't "really" thin, if you knew him and his brother you would understand their sense of humor. You know I am not one to take **** from anyone. So the fact he says anything is just a reminder to my inner fat girl that candy makes me SICK. He has to live with me being sick and it's not fun for him either. He would never tell me not to eat something but he will make a joke or remind me I will be dying in about 20 minutes. I appreciate the fact he actually cares enough to make me see the light. The fat girl comment to me is the one I need to hear to make me stop and think.
To better get my bf and his brother, I have a funny story, my mother named me Heidi specifically because there were no nicnames for Heidi, her name was Judith but everyone called her Judy so she didn't want that when I was born. So I had no nicnames my entire life until about 5 years ago my bf's mom bought one of those electric fireplaces and hung stockings on it and she misspelled my name as Hedi. She tried to say she ran out of i's but we found the letters and knew it wasn't true. To this day my bf and his brother call me Hedi, and introduce me as Hedi, I think some of their friends don't even know my real name anymore. I find it hilarious since my mother took such great care to make me have no nicname and now at 40+ years out I got on. The even more amusing part is when my boyfriend is being serious or pissed off he calls me Heidi, I always giggle when he does it, because he doesn't realize that he reverts back to my real name. My mother used to call me Heidi Jane when she was mad this is the same thing.
It keeps you accountable. Do you want to fail and be fat again. I don't. I either don't eat at all in front or people, therefore no scrutiny or I eat properly because I know people expect that I will screw up. Which is a great motivator to me, to prove the world wrong. And if I do screw up and try to eat things I shouldn't my bf says oh the fat girl is digging in the Halloween candy again. Yeah that straightens me up and makes me fly right. He is joking of course, but the message it received loud and clear to my brain.
"bf says oh the fat girl is digging in the Halloween candy again. "
if my BF ever said that - he would be facing the other side of my front doors... you are kidding , right?
my BF has permission to comment on some foods because they can make me feel so sick.. and then he has to take care of me.. other than that - he is the most supporting , and understanding person in world...fat or skinny - I know he would love me..

Wow! You are trying to wind us up, I hope?
As a grown woman, no one but me is accountable for what I put in my mouth and if my boyfriend disrespected me enough to say something like that - he would be an ex boyfriend PDQ!
I gave up on those sorts of relationships when I grew up - admittedly it took me until I was in my late 30's, early 40's, but I'm pretty clear about my boundaries and everyone who knows and loves me KNOWS exactly where they are ...
