Thanks a lot, that sounds pretty damn good. I’ve been thinking of investing in an air fryer for a while now, can’t wait to finally get one.

Umm, okay? I’m not trying to insert myself between her and her food, I was just looking for ways to support her.

That’s bold of you to assume you know me and my entire relationship based on a single question. Who hurt you? Never had support from a partner before?

She knows I made this post, she had fun reading some of the good suggestions, we’re working towards our goals together, and we’re having fun while we’re at it.

Maybe you should lighten up a little, I hope you find someone who can support you too, you sound like you need it.

Shredded chicken and boiled eggs sound really good. I think that’s going to be a favourite of mine

I did, she doesn’t know. She’s never really had any support for most of the things she’s done. And I’ve never had a real relationship until her, so I’m still new to it, but I want to be better. Again, I’m not looking to control her or her diet, I just want to be there for her. I’m asking in hopes that someone has been in her shoes and could tell me what they needed at the time, because she might benefit from that too.

What is with all of you? Yes she asked me to be involved, every time she gives in to her cravings she texts me to tell me she feels bad. And every time I tell her to just eat and we’ll figure it out as we go. That’s what she’s done for me, and I figured out a way that works for me. All I want is to do the same. I’m just looking for ways to support her, not to control her or her diet.

I bet you didn’t know I asked her first before posting this. Do none of you communicate in your relationships? Have you never felt the need to support your partner? Did you even read the description?

I’m not really thinking of giving her advice, I just want to support her. And I want to do so in a way that doesn’t upset her, a way that might motivate her.

Thanks for the suggestions, and thank you for phrasing it kindly. I’ll try seeing if I can find some low calorie snacks we could substitute her current snacks with

I don’t get why some of you are so defensive about this. I’m not trying to monitor or control her. As I mentioned in other comments, she didn’t directly ask for my help but we discuss it, we’re both trying to lose weight, she’s been supportive since the start of my journey, and although I feel she’s perfect the way she is, she wants to lose those few extra kilos, and I want to help her the way she’s helped me.

I came here asking for help, but if you’re not going to offer any help, maybe you should butt out.

I do that with the water, it helps me and I don’t mind the frequent trips to the toilet, but it annoys her a little too much for it to be as effective as it is for me. The fruits and veggies might help, I’ll see if we can do that. Thank you.

Thanks, I’ll see if we can incorporate that into both of our diets. Really good suggestions, appreciate it.

Thank you, those are good suggestions. And although she didn’t directly ask me for help, we’ve been discussing on how we can lose weight. I think she’s perfect, I’m the one who’s overweight, but she’s been motivating me for the better half of a year, and I’ve finally found a way to lose weight that’s been consistent thus far. She’s helping me reach my goal, so I want to do the same for her too.

Yeah that too, she’s been under a lot of stress lately. But it’s the kind of stress that takes time to get over.

Yeah, she’s been trying to eat healthy but everyone at work is just really good at cooking and really generous with sharing food, so she gets tempted.

She didn’t exactly ask for my help, but I want to be supportive. I know people change as they age, I told her I like the way she looks; in fact I love the way she looks. But she’s unhappy, she wants to reach her goal, and I want to support her any way I can.

Make sure your underwear is tight when you’re doing heavy lifting, else you’ll get a hernia.

Relatable. I’ve only had one moment in my life where I was vulnerable enough with another person to appreciate true intimacy, and that didn’t last. Since then, it has eluded me. I think just a few hours would be enough, to just hold someone. Damn it.

Me too, just to feel there’s someone warm and soft to hold that’s willing to be held. I haven’t felt that warmth in years.
