I have. He said that he doesn't mean to sound harsh by saying those things, and that he's just trying to be supportive of my wanting to lose weight. He said he'd like my body better if I lost the weight, but I look ok regardless and he still loves me.
Well you need to tell him more firmly and definitely how much it affects you.
Make sure he knows that, whilst you appreciate him being supportive of your effort to lose weight, making you feel shit about your body isn't a positive way to motivate you. That it's a big deal for you and if he wants the relationship to work, he has to consider your feelings.
And if that doesn't make a difference and you still want to be with him, you're just going to have to grow a thicker skin.
Does he dislike my body or am I insecure?
