Oh LeahE, i am so sorry to hear that you are going through all this. There is no worse feeling in the world. You have done really well not to turn to food as you know that food can't actually make you feel better despite what we tell ourselves. As for the bf, the only thing i can say is talk to him and make sure if knows exactly how you feel-but, a word of warning, remember that this diet does strange things to your emotions and you are totm at the moment which will make it even worse. I don't mean to sound patronizing, i am only going by the fact that i know that at the moment i am seeing everything 10x worse than it is. Went mental with the cat earlier because it tried to go to sleep on the clean clothes! Please don't think that i am suggesting that you are over exaggerating how bad you feel because i am not. I know exactly what it is to have insecurity about yourself and relationship. I have a prince now but i still have probs- now isn't the time for of to tell you but lets just say is starts with s and ends with x. I know i don't really know you, but from what i do know from what you have written, you are a strong, loving sassy woman who deserves nothing but the best. Talk to that man-sometimes they need it spelt out-and be strong. You are amazing-don't ever forget it. Big, big hugs. X
