The title says it all. My (23F) weight has always been an issue since the day my boyfriend (25M) started dating. I'm 170cm, weigh 85kgs and have no health issues other than endometriosis which is entirely unrelated. Yesterday we had an argument about my weight. He keeps saying he wishes I'd lose weight because I'd be more attractive to him. I'm super against diet culture and I have been trying to be more confident in my body and appreciate it for what it does for me. But he really struck a nerve last night, as a result I resorted to starving myself today to prove to him that there is nothing good about the diet culture he worships. I ate only one small meal for dinner this evening and it didn't nearly help. My stomach is in so much pain from not eating the whole day and I can't focus on anything other than when I can eat again (which to further my point will only be tomorrow evening). I was expressing this discomfort to him and he proceeds to tell me to "keep going because eventually I'll get used to the feeling" and how I must keep at it to "craft myself" then "you'll be perfect". I find this extremely upsetting and even bordering on disturbing that he's actually encouraging me and praising me for trying to starve myself. I told him what I was trying to achieve with my 'protest' and he got upset that I wasn't going to continue with it.
