Nah, it’s terminally online derangement to act like this is universally toxic. When my ex told me to watch what I eat, it was because I genuinely was eating too much junk food. Sometimes it’s good to have a partner who *checks notes* cares about your well-being more than they care about enabling you.
I feel like maybe that’s what’s happening, I’ve been gaining weight but I’ve always been a little bit bigger. I don’t eat terribly, I have vegetables and protein every day and drink water and try to have zero sugar stuff for like energy drinks. It’s the hypocrisy that bothers me most, wdym he eats worse than me AND way more?
If you’re a little bigger and still gaining, you can’t be eating that healthy. Look it up; diet is 95% of weight gain/loss. Regular exercise doesn’t increase how many total calories your body burns in a day. My advice is to look more into nutrition (yours and his). Help curb his bad habits and work on your own.
Maybe. I’d encourage you to even just ask a quick question to ChatGPT about what the most likely cause of weight gain is for you (explain the birth control and your diet). Regardless of what it says, there’s gotta be something that you can do to improve your health. Everyone can always be healthier, and you should love yourself enough to try.
I have been trying different diets some to see where I have success, the issue is he has something to say no matter what it is I’m having, it’s either not enough food, not healthy enough (he’s eating the same thing usually) if I tell him I picked something healthy he tells me “I’ve never cared about what you eat, you can have whatever you want” and he gets upset when I mention wanting to do a calorie deficit or go on different diets. I’m going to my doctor soon to discuss the gain and options
It sounds like somewhat of a communication issue, and somewhat of a projection issue. I think he wants to look out for your health, but also doesn’t want you to do unhealthy weight loss, and also probably feels bad about himself when you try to better yourself. My answer would be both of you go to the doctor together and talk about options for both of you, and try to take it on together as a team and be each other’s accountability buddies.
