Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend who dumped me after 2 1/2 years because I got fat. The last two years I've lost 68 lbs, am happier and couldn't wait to shove that in his face. So, of course the first time he see's me I'm alone, pushing a shopping cart full of ice cream for a party later. FML

Today, I saw my ex-boyfriend walking down the street in my direction. I've put on a bunch of weight since we broke up, so I turned to look in the nearest shop window, hoping he wouldn't notice. Unfortunately he did see me, looking straight at a KFC. FML

Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend on campus. Upset, I decided to go to McDonald's to eat my painful memories away. While in the drive-thru line, I realized my ex was right in front of me. It looked like I'd followed him all the way from campus. He thinks I'm a stalker now. FML

Today, I went out shopping. When I left the store, I saw my ex, who I'm still crazy about. He helped me carry my bags out to the car. When I leaned in to give him a hug goodbye, he stepped aside, and I fell face-first into a puddle. He walked away laughing. FML

Today, I was dumped by my boyfriend of 2 years. I'd been involved in an accident that severely hurt my right leg. As a result, I couldn't work out and gained 35 pounds, also due to stress eating and some meds I’m taking. Apparently I’m no longer attractive and he can’t have people thinking he’s a “chubby chaser.” FML

Today, I saw my long-distance boyfriend for the first time in 8 months. He dumped me on the spot because I was "uglier" than he remembered. FML

Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I've recently become serious about getting fit, and have lost nearly 84 pounds. Apparently, when I was fat, I made her look smaller in comparison. When I got slimmer, she insisted I either gain the weight back or she'd leave. So she did. FML

Today, I saw my ex. I was sure he’d be miserable, but he looked happier than I’ve seen him in a long time. He somehow even looked younger, as did the woman he was on a date with, who’s a good 10 years younger than me. Meanwhile, I’ve gained 25 pounds trying to quit smoking. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 5 years dumped me, after he intentionally made me fat so that I wouldn't leave him. FML

Today, I went to the store and ran into an old friend that I hadn't seen in years. We chatted a little, and just as I was leaving he grabbed his mobile phone. Later, I added him on Facebook. Turns out the last thing he posted was a picture of my back saying: "Look who got even fatter." FML

Today, I'm all alone for the holidays. The guy I was kicking it with ghosted me. I went to the guy I rejected for being too overweight for my taste, and not only has he lost weight, he now has a girlfriend. FML

He'll still have noticed that you're looking foxy nowadays. He's a guy. They don't miss that kinda thing. =]

Man, screw that ****** for dumping you, he should have supported you and been concerned for your health, rather than just dropping you. Great job on losing the weight though! And i'm sure he noticed it too. Have fun at your party!

Eat your ice cream! Nothing's more fun than a party in your tummy! XP Besides, he's an ass.

But would you have tried to get fit if he did not dump you?

I agree,its sad that hes that shallow to break up with you based on your weight,BUT you got the motivation to lose it and who knows maybe you will find the love of your life!!Be sure to thank your ex when you do=)

Just because he saw you with a cart full of ice cream doesn't mean that you don't look physically different than when he last saw you, and as you make it sound, a lot better. So no worries! Congratulations, because you seem a lot better off without him =) Hm... #21/neburus may have a point, though. Sometimes, as sad as it is, the most hurtful comments can act as a catalyst for some people to make big changes.

Wow what a dbag. He didn't have to break up to you. When my boy friend got fat I said "hey let's go running together" and started cooking him healthy meals, I didn't dump his ass. Jeez.

This reminds me of a Friends episode. Sort of. But hey, whatever motivates you. Enjoy your party and you go eat that ice cream.

How did you know that was the only reason he dumped you? You think the guy liked everything else about you but could not abide your fat ass? I think you're insecure. Buying ice cream. What a pity excuse for an FML.

If you gained those 68 pounds while you were with him in the first place, YDI. If a person lets themselves go and you're not even in a committed relationship, they have a right to end it if they're not attracted to you anymore. Who knows, if he hadn't done it, maybe you would never have been inspired to drop the weight again.

Exactly. Everyone rushes to the defense of people who get dumped because they put on weight, but what happens to a person's health once they enter a relationship says a lot about them as a person. Either they aren't capable of looking after themselves well enough to maintain a healthy weight, or they don't care enough about their partner to maintain a healthy weight. Either way, they shouldn't be in the relationship. Appearance matters, you don't date a person to whom feel no physical attraction. "Letting yourself go" once you enter a relationship shows an incredible amount of disrespect to your partner. Learn to look after yourself before you get into a relationship, and don't stop once you're in one.
