I have tried to explain to my partner that I prefer to change my lifestyle and lose weight slowly but surely. He is adamant this is not the way to do it..........
MORE INFORMATION:
He is an 'all or nothing' person. His idea of a diet is to stop eating pretty much all together and throw yourself into exercise. Yes he loses weight, no he doesnt keep it off. I am losing weight slowly, (1.5 stone since August). So slowly that he is not noticing .....YET.

I had a situation like that with a boyfriend. He was very scornful of my process. I did it my way and did my best to ignore his BS. He was upset that he couldn't make it happen for me-that he wasn't controlling me. I left that relationship because such an angry controlling butthead. I decided that is goes better when I control what goes in my mouth.

My BF is the same way. When I told him that I joined this site he just rolled his eyes. I told him I didn't need his support that is what this site is for. You can do it keep strong!!!!!

You show him. Oh just wait he is going to be so jealous of you that he will want to know your secret. Don't tell him. Let him figure it out (oh forgot he's a man)

Ask for the willingness to be willing...
If you have a hard time committing to getting started, and you pray, ask for the willingness to be willing.
MORE INFORMATION:
I can't do this by myself, but by asking for the willingness, I'm asking for God's blessing and help, as well as support. Works for me.
