WHy not lose 68 pounds when you were happy IN a relationship?! You deserve it.

I agree that he was a jerk for dumping you because you gained weight. But at the same time why do you decide to try hard to lose the weight after he breaks up with you. Even though a good relationship stuff like that doesnt matter, but it is always nice if both people take care of themselves, so you have the love part of the relationship and the physical attraction part. But then again i dont know your relationship and he could of been an a hole and not even supporting you to lose the weight and be healthier.

Who cares? You lost weight, good for you. He's a douche, what good guy dumps someone because they put on some weight? You deserve better, or rather, no one deserves such a shallow guy. And why should you care what he thinks about what is in your cart? I gave this a YDI for caring what someone equally as shallow thinks.

It shouldn't be weight gain that ends a relationship, but at the same time it shouldn't take a breakup to convince someone to lose weight. No matter what anyone says, there's nothing shallow about dumping someone because they've let themselves go. When you're not in a committed relationship, mutual attraction is extremely important and when that fades, the person is left to decide if this is what they want to spend the rest of their life with. No one would be calling a woman a shallow **** for dumping an alcoholic or 24/7 gamer, even if they were all-around nice guys. If they're unwilling to change while in the relationship, then the significant other has every right to get out before a commitment's been made. I also find it nigh impossible to click FYL when you wanted to "throw that in his face." Looks like you were not only fat, but very immature and petty. There were probably multiple reasons he dumped you.

2 1/2 years is a long time to lose 68 Lbs unless your not exerising everyday I used to weight 397 now I wiegh about 214 in about 1 1/4 years ( diet, bicyling and swimming)

don't you worry about that sweetie ;-) who cares about what that bastard thinks? the hell with him!

You have got to be kidding me, I am pretty sure that if he didn't dump you, you wouldn't have lost that weight. It serves you right if you think just because you have your "man" that you can let yourself go and get fat, kudos to him for realizing what was happening and getting out of it as fast as possible. hopefully you learned your lesson and the next time you get a boyfriend you wont buy all that ice cream for yourself again

They dated 2 1/2 years. It's been two years since they broke up. Of course there was something to shove in his face, he dumped her after 2 1/2 years because of her weight. Sure, looks are important, but he could have suggested they go to the gym together or diet. He didn't have to dump her. That's an asshole thing to do to somebody after 2 1/2 years of being together. Apparently, he didn't really love her enough to stay with her and help her with her weight. Obviously he wasn't in it for the long haul because once you've been with someone for, oh let's say, 50 years, you're both probably a little fatter, saggier, wrinklier, greyer, hairier (except on your head). It would have been worse if OP had stayed with him that long and got dumped then.

lol, i think my friends girl friend should start doing what you did and loose some damn extra weight. i'm tired of her weighing my car down when i drive her places. and good for you loosing weight =)

why are you driving her places if you dont like her? She's not your GF, shes your friends GF.
