I have yellow flags...perhaps not red, but the thought did cross my mind, as well. If the OP is not a troll, then I feel very very sad for her. But I've known women with similar stories, which is the thing that keeps me from jumping immediately to the full-on troll suspicion.

Well, can we leave it this way. I don't want to put off the OP (do any of us remember our first post to TE?) and am prepared to welcome her to TE. We're a nice group, really. Cautious perhaps, been trolled before, and doubtless will be again but a really nice group.

All the ladies up above have given good advice...
If I were in your shoes, I'd say something like "Screw the 20 pounds... let's lose about 180" and dump the manipulative boy/girlfriend. Nobody that you care about (or who cares about you) deserves to be treated teh way you describe.
Buy the new bike. It'll be better company, take you new places, and maybe change your life for the better. It's a big ocean, and there are a lot of better fish out there in the pond.
