How can I handle unhealthy eating habits with my partner? I am overweight, my partner is underweight.

...See more I feel disappointed with myself right now. My relationship is affecting my weight loss progress. I am trying really hard to lose weight. But every time I lose weight, I gain back all the weight again & more. My partner does shift work & like yesterday, he returns at midnight & bought both of us food although I reminded him not to buy food for me. It is because he knows that I love food & I am an aesthetic eater. Meaning that, when I see food I need to eat it or my body shakes & tingles & I cannot sleep. Eating other food alternatives does not help take away these feelings. I am angry with myself because my weight yo-yos a lot, I lose 1-2kg every 3 days, & gain back 3kg in the next 3 days, it is a horrible cycle. My partner never gains weight, he eats a lot & anytime. He has a desk job but has really high metabolism. It is bad for me to lose my weight loss progress because my partner loves looking at pretty and slim women, but I have not been pretty & slim for a long time because of this. I have gained 11kg or more (it yo-yos) in 4 years since I am with him. I thought about going to sleep if he returns home late, but the highlight of his day is coming home to eat sit with me sitting next to him, otherwise he prefers not to eat & he becomes even more underweight. I eat little portions when I eat with him at midnight, but I still gain 1-2kg overnight. My body simple cannot eat late night. How can I stop eating with my partner when I am not hungry? What should I do?
