However, I have always maintained that if your boyfriend is the one demanding that you lose weight, he is the weight you need to lose, period! It is devastating when a spouse or boyfriend tells a woman that he would be more attracted to her if she lost weight. Also, making derogatory remarks about a woman’s body, even when it is framed as humour, is hurtful and more often than not proves to be counterproductive in encouraging her to lose weight. Starting a relationship with one then demanding that she lose the weight is ridiculous. Even if you shed off the extra weight, he will find something else about you that he is not happy about.
