Is it wrong to ask bf to do this?

Ok. My bf loves me to death and i know this. We'll be together for a very long time, maybe forever, if not than for now is fine. It's true love. He always compliments me and says how pretty I am without me asking.I know he likes me for me because he has seen me in my nastiest days when i hadn't showered for like two days and he still loved me and he has seen me on my prettiest days.
im 5'4 weighing roughly 143lbs. It doesn't look bad on me but i don't feel sexy though my bf says i am. I want to lose weight for my prom. I want to lose about 25 pounds or maybe 40. i have about 9 months to do this roughly which is just enough. I wanted to ask you guys first if i can ask my bf this. I quite things easy without having someone saying it looks good or im doing great. I wanted to ask my bf if he could tell me i look great, i am losing a lot of weight, good job, etc. to keep me motivated in doing this. i can do it if i know im making someone proud cause i second guess myself a lot. i wanted him to do it regardless if he saw a difference in my body or not. its hard to see weight loss in the beginning so thats what always stops me is that little bump. is it a good idea or would it be a bad one?

Well he tells you anyway

Why not talk to him, tell him of your goals, dreams, desires and ask that he supports you, acts are your motivator?

He may love you the way you are, is that wrong? No, but ultimately you have to feel that you are where you want, what you want to be and that's yourself.

I'm saying that because you have a little fear there I think that he will say "but I love you the way you are? Why do you want to lose that much for a Prom? Who for? "

You already have it all..You have love will he be there? Never do anything to "impress others" on a superficial level. Flaunt you, with him , being confident and loving you and showing two people in love is priceless.
