Today, I proudly informed my boyfriend that I am now a size 4, down from an 18, after months of dieting and exercising after he told me he would like me to be a size 6. He broke up with me for "not listening to what he wanted" and "being an overachiever". FML

congrats on losing weight!!! i'm in the same boat as #289. i've been trying to diet forever. WHAT'S YOUR SECRET??? do you mind sharing?????

What the ****?! Your boyfriend is ******* stupid. And for those thinking size 4 is anorexic or something, I'm a size 1 and I look perfectly normal. Have a bit of pinchable baby fat around the tummy area, decent sized B cup, and cheek dimples when I smile. Although being only 5'2 helps as well.

Your boyfriend sounds like some of my guy friends. I'm 5'8 and 130 lbs and also a size 4, and they complain about me being flat-chested and having no butt! Haha, it's cool though because I'm comfortable with my body. I knew I'd never have a body like Beyonce, I just have a slender frame. And for all you people out there that think 130 is chubby, notice the height. It spreads out more. 8)

Wow, your bf is lameeee. Wonderful job though ! (:

i'm gonna go ahead and say YDI. did no one notice that she lost all the weight not for herself, not to be healthy, but because her boyfriend wanted her to be 12 sizes smaller? that's the moment when you dump his ass. seriously.

I would just like to say, to those who feel a 12-14 is bad, I would be perfectly happy as a 12-14. In the summer before seventh grade I went from a size 14 to a size 24 due to a then unknown medical condition (hormone imbalance due to ovarian cysts). I was an after I found the problems 18 and was okay with it, because I know that it was mainly due to medication and not really any effort on my part. Im currently a 16 from diet and exercise and think that this is perfectly acceptable. Additionally, if I were a size 6 I would probably look extremely unhealthy. So Im just saying, sometimes being over weight is not your fault.

american sizes are confusing! if a 4's like a UK 8 and then a 2's like a UK 6 then you guys have SMALLER than that? its hard enough to even find a 6 in Ireland, and hard enough to find a 16! If you aint in this middle range of 10-14 its really difficult to find clothes. Its good to know other countries provide for the fact that people come in all different shapes and sizes. Especially since there are special larger size stores but very few petite stores, I have lots of tiny friends who have to tailor all their clothes. Oh but congrats on the weight loss, well done! **** the bf, if you get some confidence to match the new body then you wont be alone for long!!! xxxxx

What's the big deal in losing him? The trash took itself out. You got someone when you were a size 18; it will be much easier now that you lost the weight.
