I find myself at a critical juncture in our relationship, one that requires your understanding and compassion. I’ve taken your suggestions to work out together and have endured your comments about my eating habits, but I’ve reached a point where I can no longer pretend that these discussions don’t affect me deeply.
It’s essential for you to know that my relationship with food is complex and not something you can easily navigate. I want to give you the opportunity to understand this aspect of me, but I cannot keep justifying or explaining it indefinitely. Acceptance is vital.
While I know you care about my well-being and desire for us to have a long life together, I assure you that my body is functioning well. I have not encountered any alarming health issues, and my daily life is fulfilling. Your comments about wanting me to be healthier often make me feel pressured, and instead of motivating me, they trigger feelings of anxiety. If you’re uncertain about what I mean by triggers, I am open to discussing it further.
For instance, when you encourage me to participate in something like a Whole30 challenge, it doesn’t motivate me positively. Instead, it revives past patterns of extreme dieting in my mind, leading me to obsess over rigid rules and restrictions. While you may fear that my weight will lead to health complications, my real fear stems from engaging in any diet that could ignite an eating disorder.
Eating disorders are fundamentally tied to mental health, and while you might perceive me as someone unhealthy or unfit, the reality is that I have worked hard to rebuild a healthy relationship with food. I weigh 200 pounds and enjoy my life without the constant fear of certain foods. I can indulge in pizza, ice cream, and butter, and this liberation brings me immense joy.
I want to savor meals, engage in conversations, and partake in physical activities without worrying about calorie counts. I’ve finally reached a stage where I can appreciate my body for what it is, and I refuse to revert to a mindset that promotes restriction. I cannot accept comments about my eating habits or feel judged for my choices.
If you cannot embrace all aspects of me, including my 200 pounds, then we cannot continue together. I am not a small person, nor do I aspire to be. My personality has always been vibrant and full of life, and I refuse to shrink myself to fit someone else’s idea of attractiveness.
I have experienced significant pressure to conform to societal standards of beauty, and while I did become thin in the past, it came at a cost to my mental health. I would prefer to remain at my current weight, enjoying life and all its pleasures, rather than revert to a state of constant anxiety about my body and food.
Ultimately, I cherish my body and the journey I’ve taken to feel comfortable in my own skin. You may see a person who neglects their health, but I see someone who has achieved a sense of wholeness. We need to align our perspectives if we are to move forward together.
I am proud of my body—strong, sensual, and powerful. If you cannot accept all of me, then you cannot have any of me. It has taken years for me to feel complete, and I will not sacrifice that for anyone.
With love,
Your devoted partner
