I am currently overweight by about 20 kgs. I would love to lose it but am finding it difficult as I have food intolerances and chronic pain so I can't eat exactly what I want and I am a comfort eater so when I'm in a lot of pain I tend to reach for the chocolate. My husband criticises me every time I eat something that he deems inappropriate, he left a chocolate wrapper on the bench the other day with a note 'is this helping you reach your goals?'. He's incredibly passive aggressive and now I'm feeling like I might just keep eating shit and gaining more weight just to spite him because he doesn't deserve the hot svelte wife he wants. I'm being ridiculous right???

No you aren't being ridiculous, you are being perfectly normal! Shaming people rarely leads to anyone loosing weight, in fact for most people they gain weight. You probably do more than enough negative talk anyway (personal experience).
Tell him to keep his opinion to himself. Start to love your body for what it CAN do. Appreciate it. Don't focus on your size. Love yourself. See a psychologist to help you find healthy ways to process your emotions. Then when you are feeling good about yourself if you want to loose weight, see a registered dietician for food you can eat and enjoy.
Normal reaction to what hes doing. But if you do that to spite him youre actually hurting yourself more.
Put his note on passive-aggressive notes. theres a whole website collection of douchey notes. send him the link.
Not over reacting at all. That is quite shallow of him. However, have you been to see a professional (dietitian) re your food intolerances? They might be able to help you with finding different food options. They can also help you with comfort eating techniques if it's an area that is bothering you. Best wishes xx
