Feeling personally attacked

Bit of background: My DH and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum regarding weight. He constantly complains about his own weight and does fad diets instead of a consistent healthy diet that he can maintain. I have a history of ED but never followed through on treatment in my 20's.

I'm basically here venting as I feel so attacked. He has told me I'm too lazy too eat, I'm talking rubbish when I say I'm put off eating by DS constantly being at me when I do eat (sometimes physically trying to pull food out of my mouth) and telling me I look sick and like a stick. I feel like he thinks he is superior because he is on his latest diet so he doesn't listen to me. I can still, without a doubt, say I'm still healthier than he is so I feel like he doesn't have a leg to stand on disguising this attack as being concerned for my health!

I really am just venting. I feel misunderstood and that my feelings are being dismissed. We have been through alot of trauma recently and both have depression. Does anyone else have issues with their partners seeming to be at the end of their tether?
