The other issue I have with the whole thing is that he has gained some weight since we started dating. This is NOT a big deal to me- except that HE frequently complains about it. It puts me in an awkward position because he'll say, "Ugh, I'm getting a belly" and I'm thinking "Duh- you just ate five candy bars." Of course I reassure him that he's attractive to me, but I hate how oblivious he is about the whole thing. He takes a yoga class, but it's not enough to counteract all the junk.
I've tried to gently comment about his diet, but he'll tell me "Don't worry about it" or "It'll be fine". He thinks he can eat whatever he wants with no consequences just because he's young. But this is something that bothers me more and more by the day. How can I express my feelings without being critical or making him feel bad?
Obviously it is ultimately his choice. I don't want him to feel like I'm controlling him or forcing him to do anything. But it would be beneficial for him to eat better for his own sake. And I can't live with this forever. It may seem like I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but it's an extreme situation.
