Angela - my boyfriend tells me that I need to lose some weight. His last girlfriend was really petite, but I am taller and am around a size 14. I have tried to diet but it leaves me feeling mistable and I personally am happy with the way that I look, I adore my curves but am scared that I will lose him if I am not the one he is really looking for. Do I just take a stand on this one, or meet him in the middle and drop a dress size?

Right, okay, this one ruffled my feathers a little!
You answer your own question to be honest Natalie... you tell me that you are HAPPY WITH THE WAY THAT YOU LOOK, and you suggest taking a stand on this one, therefore knowing that there is the option of taking a stand, which tells me that you know that this issue is something that you oppose...
I appreciate that when we really do not want to lose a guy, we consider all manner of things, that is just what we do as humans, because we have been trained to believe that when we love somebody we will do 'anything' to make them happy
But I really feel strongly on this one, that if you go down that road when YOUR heart is not in it, you will end up resenting your guy anyway, and won't truly be happy. Something as personal as weight loss has to be YOUR choice and diets do not work anyway, if someone has one foot in and one foot out, they take 100% determination - and do you have that? Should you have that? Hell no!
You like yourself just the way that you are, and most guys would kill for a girl who is so confident in who she is. If your guy can only see you as a weight issue and not the diamond that sparkles before him, then he needs to move on and go back to this petite ex, or find another suitable model.
Be proud of who you are, listen to your Inner Goddess and if he cannot love you for who you are (and are happy to be) then he is not worthy of you
