I hate the comments my husband makes about what I eat.

Obviously.
That doesn't make it okay though.

DH does the same and I believe it’s because he doesn’t like my weight gain. I think it’s a control issue - If he comments on my food choices and controls what I eat then I’ll be thin. It totally doesn’t work. No one can calorie restrict unless they want to and shaming your partner doesn’t make them want to lose weight. I hate the comments so I eat really healthy around DH, then eat what I want when he’s not around. We just went on vacation and I was starving the whole time. We got home and I ate everything that wasn’t tied down. I’m 5’5” 160lbs and have accepted my weight. I wish DH would just accept me at my weight and let me live around him.

Yeah, it’s not a control thing, he wants you to be thinner because that is more sexually appealing to him. Do you think he would be controlling if you were at your most attractive (to him weight)?

NP. That's still control. It's like somebody who gives their dog a treat when the dog does a trick. Approval or not, somebody is still treating you like a dog.

I’m bumping this comment.

The PP's DH is ignorant. When the wife restricts calories, she is actually decreasing her metabolism! That means she's going to be even heavier than her current 160lbs. What she needs to do is increase her muscle mass and that will help her burn calories and reduce her weight.

Note that US size 6 is EU size 8 (e.g. L in Europe), so it is indeed heavier females size. If you want to appear slim in the US, you should be size 4 US
