My H2B is on a diet. He has been since july and has lost 6stone. I am soooo proud of him but I'm worried. He now weighs 13st 10 and is 6ft 2. He has become obsessed with his weight. I cant remember the last time we went out for a meal together or for the fact even saw him eat a proper cooked meal (Prob Xmas day). He cooks for me but tells me he ate earlier (He is a student at the minute so home all day whilst I'm at work). Eg. We're going to Ikea and shopping tomorrow then straight to his mums to babysit. so I've just mentioned what are we doing about eating and he told me to order a take away. When I said No he asked why and I said because you wont have any. And he said stop worrying about what I am or not eating with respect your not my Mum. No I'm just the one that loves the bloody bones of ya!! aaaaaaarrrrghhhhhhh How can I make him see I'm only worried about him because I love him so much and dont want this obsession to turn into something really dangerous? Sorry for the rant girls just don't know where/who to turn to xx

Hmmm tough one hun, i would refuse to eat on your own, don't eat unless he sits down and eats with you. Suppose thats blackmail really but if he argues with u about it its cos he wants u to eat and u can argue back that yr only thinking the same about him so from now on you eat meals together. x

I agree with Laura, its a tough situation to be in. I think you need to talk to him about your worries and like Laura said, insist on eating together more. Not sure if thats much help, but didn't want to read and run. xx

I agree with Gem you need to talk to him about it and tell him how worried you are about him. Reassure him and remind him that you love him no matter what size he is but he is getting to an unhealthy weight in which could seriously effect his health. It might just be the kick that he needs to snap out of it. If that doesn't kick him into gear then I would get some advice from an eating disorder clinic.

See if you can get him into the doc's for a general checkup (have one yourself too so he doesnt feel like your up to something) and make sure they do his height/weight/bmi they'll then tell him if hes underweight/right weight/overweight etc if they say hes bordering on underweight it may be enough of a shock back to reality, and its good to have a check up now and again!

I just had a look on the BMI chart and if he gets under 11 stone that is when he is classed as underweight and seriously needs to stop. Hope that puts your mind at rest a little.

yh he probably in the right weigh catergory at the moment. but just explain to him that it worrying u. i do think the not eating unless he does could work. i was anorexic a few years back and i got really ill from it. it took alot for me 2 start again, and when i did i felt worse cos i gained alot of weight. now i can easily lose weight and not go crazy about it. i think he probably worried about eating. a doctor is the only other person that can help u. do the check-up, u go first and explain 2 the doctor ur worries and then when he goes after the doctor can go through his weight and height with him and make him see he needs to eat regularly to keep his metabolism going, otherwise his body goes into starvation mode and anything he does eat will be stored as fat. it not healthy and he needs medical help xx
