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.

guess it depends on how you lost the weight if it is coming back easily. maybe the husband knows more than we do

148, She lost weight and made it to a size she likes. A lot of people celebrate reaching their goal weight. She never says how tall she is which can also affect her size. Size 4-5 on some people 5' 7"+ sometimes looks unnatural/"bony" look. I know I would if I lost more. I went from 9-10 down to wearing 6s and 7s and I'm only 5'6". :)

People are silly. She lives in Australia, just like me. Over here a size ten is an american size 4 or less, so she is quite skinny ...

Wow size 8? Not really something to be proud of.

You obviously live in the US with their distorted image of beauty. Size 8 in Europe would be 'you could lose a bit, but it's still okay'. I'd say size 6 is the perfect skinny size. Anything smaller is just... ugly.

An Australian (where OP lives) size 8 is a U.S. size 2-4. Besides, an American size 8 isn't even big.

maybe she lost the weight in an unhealthy way and he knew she would gain it back..

Maybe he wants you to get pregnant? If not then, don't listen to him.
