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 all that weight! You definitely deserve better than that treatment though.

keep up the good work. he obviously wasnt good enough for you.

Congratulations on losing all of the weight! I'm glad you feel better about yourself, but it's unfortunate that you're boyfriend was that much of an ass. It sucks that your ex had to be a motivator, but it's fantastic that you were able to lose the weight, and become a size you really wanted.

her boyfriends not an ass at all. she was obviously overweight and honestly, no one wants to date a fat person. so congrats on losing the weight, but don't diss on the boyfriend for wanting a girlfriend with an attractive figure.

Well, that's quite simple, isn't it? If he didn't want a girl who was a size 18, he shouldn't have been dating one in the first place. He has every right to dislike larger bodies, and there are plenty of size 6 girls out there, but anyone who gets a girlfriend he finds unattractive just to try and change her, is a complete ass. And is also likely to totally destroy her self steem and all sense of self worth in his quest for a "hot girlfriend". But hey, it's ok to do that because she was fat, right?

There's nothing wrong with wanting a girlfriend with an "attractive figure." But the thing is, he should go find one instead of dating someone he doesn't find attractive in hopes of changing her. And then to COMPLAIN and DUMP her when she exceeds his expectations. WTF? Yes, he is an ass.

WTF? No one wants to date a fat person?

this is UWP(useless without pics).

You are looking at this the wrong way. Since your ex was willing to date a size 18, I'm going to assume he isn't exactly the biggest catch out there. Now that you are a size 4, you can probably do way, way better than you're loser ex. You should've dumped him, his fml would've made more sense: Today, my girlfriend, who I had been urging to lose weight, broke up with me after going from a size 18 to a size 4 because she said she is too attractive for me now.

Yeah, that's really going to make her feel better. People don't understand that you're the same person inside, even when the outside changes. I've lost over 75 lbs in my life, and it's the worst thing ever to know that you are somehow a "better" person when you're skinny.

I agree, I really hate when people think you need to lose weight to be "better" and that if you are bigger, there is something "wrong with you"

Let your controlling asshole of an ex go on to be some other woman's misery while you find someone who loves YOU. You'll be fine.

dont let someone take away what you've accomplished! congrats!
