I have always been a big girl and lately I have been really unhappy about my weight and so I told my long term boyfriend that I would be going on a diet and hitting gym tomorrow. He flat out told me that one of the reasons he was attracted to me was because of the way I looked. And he was not sure how he would feel if I lost the weight. What do you think I should do?
