Losing weight is a challenging journey that usually carries physical and emotional difficulties. It's a process that demands consistent discipline and changes to one's diet, exercise habits, and lifestyle.

To make this process more difficult than it already is, the body's metabolism and genetic predispositions play significant roles in losing weight. It means that progress can sometimes be extremely slow.

The OP, a 26-year-old female, subjected herself to this process because her boyfriend, a 27-year-old male, wants her to lose weight. Despite her height of approximately 5'4" and a weight of 124 pounds, which many would consider healthy, the OP feels her weight distribution leads to a slightly larger appearance in areas like her belly, thighs, and arms.

Previously weighing almost 140 pounds, she has made notable efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular workouts and avoiding junk food and sodas. However, she struggles to see a noticeable change in her pant size, which frustrates her partner.

He declares his love for her regardless of her weight, yet frequently shows frustration when she mentions any weight loss validated by doctors or the scale, even going so far as to accuse her and the doctors of lying and buying a new scale under the belief that the existing one was inaccurate. Despite her doctor's reassurance that she is at a normal and healthy weight, her partner's dissatisfaction persists.

After a tiring day, including a gym session, her partner confronted her for choosing to eat a leftover steak, which he deemed an unhealthy choice, claiming she appeared to be gaining weight. This accusation led to a heated exchange where she demonstrated her recent weight loss by stepping on the scale, only for him to disregard it as incorrect.

Frustrated by the lack of acknowledgment for her efforts and the constant criticism about her body size, she asks for advice on how to communicate her feelings to him.

The OP asks:

The OP's boyfriend wants her to lose weight, and she's really trying, but her size isn't going down regardless of lost kilos:

Althought he says he loves her at any weight, his behavior shows differently:

Recently, they got into an argument about her dinner and the unsuccessful process of losing weight:

He got frustrated and stopped speaking with the OP:

The boyfriend is abusive and shaming the OP

Redditors were curious as to why OP was with him

The OP explained:

"He is going to cause you to have an eating disorder"

A Redditor said the OP deserves better treatment

He seems very superficial

A Redditor pointed out the obvious facts to the OP

The OP added an update:

The OP and her boyfriend broke up:

Redditors told the OP that her boyfriend obviously doesn't love her. They told her that it would probably be best if she left him because he was abusing and shaming her.

After reading other's opinions, the OP said they've opened her eyes. She talked with her boyfriend, and they broke up.
