Pretty much the title. I'm using a throwaway account (and also living up to my username). From what I've seen, many people have experienced changes in their diet or exercise routines due to COVID. Though I am typically an emotional eater, my appetite has taken a hit and I've lost roughly seven pounds over the past two months. My loving boyfriend of 3 years typically goes for curvier women. I'm pretty curvy for a petite woman, but I'm on the lower end of the general spectrum. Though he insists that he finds me beautiful, the women he admires (ex. actors or models) usually look nothing like me.
We established that this is unrelated to how much he loves me, and he explained that I would find a way to tell him something similar if he had fallen out of shape. He also assured me that he's still equally attracted to me--that we're simply approaching this--but I really don't see how to not feel shitty about it. I am trying to understand how I can be on the brink of an issue if it's not already the case.
TL; DR My boyfriend told me that he will feel less attracted to me if I get skinnier. I feel like this is one more thing to worry about right now. Now I feel insecure in my relationship and in my body. What do?
Edit for clarity: I am currently at a healthy weight for my height. If I gained or lost a few pounds I would still be at a healthy weight for my height.
