Encouragement

Today, I'd finally reached my goal weight. I went into the office where my husband was, to show him the new size 8 jeans I'd bought. He responded with "I wouldn't buy any more clothes, you'll be putting the weight back on again soon." FML

Prove him wrong girl, he's a jerk : )

Two possibilities: A) He's insecure now that OP's improved her appearance— and more importantly, has gained confidence— that he's got to tear her self-esteem down to keep her to himself or to make himself feel better about his own flaws, or B) He's a total douche. Sorry OP; don't let him steal your pride in yourself.

Congrats on the weight loss! You've really accomplished something difficult and important. I've been there and you should really be proud of what you've achieved. It's freakin' HARD! Now that you are thinner, you ought to start sleeping around with hot guys who wouldn't look at you when you were fat. Your old plumpa humpa of a husband will be wondering how you're keeping the weight off and smiling all the time! ;)

good job girl! keep on tryin to lose weight prove to him hrs wrong and you won't gain it back you'll just keep losing. I used to be a 13 when I was younger now I'm down to a 3/4 and I work my butt off to keep it that way. best advice don't get lazy or start eating junk alot, it will start to crawl back

Stop stuffing your face with Big Macs, and maybe he won't be so concerned. Fatty. Besides, the man's just saying whatever it takes so you'll stop spending his money.

Playing devil's advocate now: While the majority of naysayers are just being douches and throwing 'fatty' around like it's nothing, most rebuttals are WAY too accommodating.. Too many people nowadays excuse their weight by saying they're heavy because their parents are heavy, or they have emotional issues, or they have thyroid problems, or they don't have the time, or (insert pathetic excuse here). In reality they just eat and drink whatever they want in huge quantities and wonder why the scale won't go down. As someone who was a size 14 my whole adolescent life and is now/has been a size 4 for 5 years, getting down to what you want is fricken hard work! But staying there is easy. Cutting out soda alone shaved 5 POUNDS off my belly. Cutting out ice cream cut out an extra 3! I don't even have to exercise anymore!! I just don't eat crap anymore, I don't have a mountainous plate for every meal, and I'm not a lazy bum around the house. Being inspirational now: The fact that you had the discipline and the drive to get down to your goal weight means you don't accept those crutches anymore and are willing to commit to yourself. I say congrats!! If you keep doing what you're doing you'll drop an extra size in no time and you'll feel even better about yourself! Staying at your goal weight will be a snap if you can just keep your drive and not fall back to old habits. Stick it to your husband and GO GET EM YOU FOX!!

32 what are you nothing but skin and bones? take your anorexic ass out of here. He wouldn't have anything to grab on to but maybe a butt bone or a rib. I'm a size 3 and I'm way happier at least my bf can grab my ass and feel flesh instead of bones. :)

I agree. Size 0 girls are not attractive in the slightest. I mean, if you want a girl with the body of a small boy, then sure, go for it. However, being an ass guy myself, having a nice butt to grab on to is a huge plus.

Size 0 girls can be attractive if it's truly their natural size. It looks terrible if it isn't, but if you're short and have a small frame, (as I do) you can wear a size 0 and still have curves proportional to your size.

32 ur a bitch.. I just recently hit a size zero.. not because I tried n I hate it! I don't feel sexy at all in my clothes. a good size is 3 or 5/6.. but a 8 isn't bad either especially the majority of fat asses that are like 16 or higher.. it takes a lot to lose weight n ur just a bitch for not giving her kudos.. kudos OP keep it up!;)

you are really pretty just fyi so don't worry about not looking good. but i agree size 0 is too small unless you are really short. try to gain weight in a healthy way. build muscle and eat lots of good foods. i used to be a size 0 and it was like blech. but now i'm a size 6 with boobs and a butt to show for it. littler is not always better!
