but he keeps on eating junk and then just saying he will "start over tomorrow". The problem is that this has been happening everyday for the past 2 months

This is a cycle that I myself am familiar with. Well, WAS familiar with. That mindset is counter intuitive/counter productive, as you already know. I would recommend reading an acticle I posted on the forums that I found in a magazine called "How to avoid the backslide". It gives great insight on how/why this happens and how to avoid it in the future.
As far as tryin to be supportive of the boyfriend, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do that will make a change in him . . that has to come from inside of himself. It's great that you don't let his bad habits effect your choices, btw. All I can tell ya is to be as supportive as ya can with the good choices he makes. For myself, my hubby swears he "has to lose a little weight" but will wolf down a whole bag of rice cakes (@700
calories one sitting) which I just say to him, while rice cakes are a better choice over chips, eating that many is NOT healthy or necessary. That's jsut one example. But I'm sure we both share the struggle to maintain a newer/healthy lifestyle and have to be in company of others who make unhealthy ones and make us "face" temptations. Kudos to US!
