That proposal deserves nothing more than rejection. You deserve nothing less than the best.

Why do you women think we need to accept and settle for fat chicks. It's not attractive, and a sign of laziness. I used to be obese, the more I lose, the more I realize that my fat self was disgusting and unacceptable . It's not hard to lose weight, work out , drink water , and cut out junk food .

If the condition is for OP to lose weight to get married, their significant other is being shallow. While sexual attraction is important in most relationships (excluding relationships involving asexuals), weight is not supposed to be that high on the list that it is stopping the person who proposed to OP from marrying them. And you're also implying that overweight people deserve scorn. For some, it's not as easy as eating healthier food and exercising. Some can only afford unhealthy food, some are working most hours of the day, and some have a health-related issue that is preventing them from losing weight. What you're saying is offensive.

Um, I'm fat and I don't think that guys need to settle for me. I don't think the vast majority of fat people have that opinion, either. But, if OP's boyfriend was going to propose to her, he shouldn't have a clause that she needs to lose weight first. That's just a douche thing to do. If he isn't ready to marry her as is, he shouldn't have proposed at all.

Sounds like it's time to dump his ass and move on.

Did he not read that bit about "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer etc"? If he's putting conditions on marrying you, you know what he's going to do the first time something happens that doesn't please him...

If he absolutely must have her loss weight I think he should have done it differently and more casually. You could get you both a gym membership and go with her. There's other and more polite ways to motivate her without hurting her feelings or being rude.

I say no-go. Marry someone who actually cares about who you are on the INSIDE, not on how you look on the OUTSIDE.

Tell them to **** off. It's your body, you can do what u want with it.

I know a quick way of losing 100lbs. Dump his ass then eat pizza.

I hope you told him to **** off. that is definitely not true love if he doesn't accept you the way you are.
