My boyfriend let slip he wants me to be skinner and now I'm insecure | The Sun
DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend has let slip he wants me to be as skinny as my sister and now I’m full of insecurities.
I’m a curvy size 18, aged 26. My sister is 22 and she’s a real skinny-mini – a size 10. She looks great in everything.
My partner doesn’t have to watch his weight and works out at the gym.
I decided to try to lose a few pounds ahead of my cousin’s wedding after being chosen as one of the bridesmaids.
When I asked what weight to aim for, he said: “Be as skinny as your sister.”

He says he loves me but I’ve always been insecure when he likes girls’ pictures on social media.
Now I think he might fancy my sister.

DEIDRE SAYS: He chose you. He loves you and wants to be with you.
Your question caught him off-guard but it doesn’t mean he fancies your sister.
Try not to focus on losing weight but getting healthy, fit and strong.
You are far more likely to get fit and stay fit if you can adjust your lifestyle together.
Would he work out with you and be willing to cook healthy meals as a couple?
