Upon an almost 70 pound weight loss, when everyone crowds around me telling me I look like a different person... He says, "I didn't notice anything different about you... maybe your hair?"


Yet is now starting to text me on weekends asking me to hang out. Um no.

1. You dumped me because I was fat.
2. Even if I was single, I realized what a *kitten* you are.
3. You know I've had a boyfriend for the last two years right?
4. I don't care if you want to try to get me drunk just to give you another look, I found someone who loved me when I was invisible. And I love him more than words.
5. Go find a new girl who will obsess over you, so you can pick her apart too, and wonder why you're STILL alone.


*EDIT* Check out page two for the most inspiring poem I've read and learned verbatim in a long time.

    Don't you love it when they come crawling back once they know what they are missing?

    gotta admit, I totally came in here thinking, ugh, not another one of "those" threads... But, KUDOS to you for dropping the weight and the dead weight, too! And, congrats on finding someone who loves you for you! Rock on!

    any guy that doesn't want you while you're overweight, or while you're wearing sweat pants with your hair messed up and no makeup on isn't a guy whose worth your time! Good job finding a guy who loves you for who you are and not just one that wants to be with you when you look hot!

    Oh and get this... I get a text saying, "You are the only girl I still think about, you're the only one with any kind of matching intellectual capacity, and you're funny, and you're funny, and you're pretty. My bad.... 8 years ago, my bad" LMFAO

    Yep, this subject can be redundant. Does this count as a non scale victory? HAHAHA - I would prefer him to just stop texting me alltogether. But one day, when I'm a hot *kitten* *****, I'll get to tell his pathetic *kitten* off.

    You're great and emotionally healthy and refreshingly sane. Thank you.

    Good for you....reminds me of that saying "if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"

    Congrats on your success!!

    Makes me have so much love for my boyfriend now, who's been so supportive of me, no matter what. He loved me at my heaviest, and he loves me even more for taking charge of my life to get healthy. Its amazing the differences between a boy and a man.

    Amen, girl - which is partly why I am getting a divorce from my ex. I had enough with is verbal abuse, but now that I have lost 56 lbs he is trying to get me back (too late - already dating someone else who worships me). Go to love revenge sometimes, lol!!!!

    HAHAHA - yeah took a long time to get to where I am now. But yes, emotionally healthy is something I've strived for. And until I was emotionally healthy, I wasn't ready to lose the weight. Now I am, and fast!

    And likewise the difference between a girl and a woman.

    Love this. Darling self esteem is the best thing you can have whether you're fat or thin. Telling this guy where to go will stay with you forever.

    In my young days I had a boyfriend who treated me so bad. He'd dump me and then pick me up again at his whim. I was so in love with him I would fall for it every time. One time we were apart I lost 4½ stone (almost 70lbs). I saw him across the street one day and he didn't recognise me. He called that night and asked me to come to his place. I told him I couldn't cos I had a date. Oh that felt so good I can still remember it second for second 25 years later.

    this is TOTALLY a NSV, girl!!

    I'm not ashamed to say I hope to have the same NSV a little less than a year from now when things get settled with my now ex-wife and I am close to my goal weight of 225. I won't say a word, but the look on her face will say "You walked out on this?"

    Good for you and best wishes to you and your new *man*.

    Thats amazing. I remember, right before I found my new love over two years ago, that he needed to stop toying with me, and my emotions, and all he did was use me to make him feel better about himself. And all he is is selfish. And he can find a new girl who will hang on him and his every word. Because I was done. And from that day, July 26tth 2009, We stopped talking. And I cut the dead weight out of my life. My once security blanket was gone. I have a great poem that I re-read and memorized over and over again, I think I should post it for you guys, Seriously. Its amazing. Oddly enough, I started talking to Marcus (my amazing boyfriend) and we've been together ever since.

    *WITH THIS BEING SAID I WANT EVERYONE TO READ THIS*
    This gave me tremendous strength when I didn't have it, lifted my chin when my head felt too heavy to hold... I know it verbatim, and I remeber this. And how much it meant to me when I read it.



    After a while you learn the subtle difference
    between holding a hand, and chaining a soul.
    And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning,
    and company doesn't always mean security.
    And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts,
    and presents aren't promises.
    And you begin to accept your defeats
    with your head up and your eyes ahead,
    with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
    And you learn to build all your roads on today,
    because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans,
    and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
    After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
    if you get too much.
    So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
    instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
    And you learn that you really can endure.
    that you really are strong.
    And you really do have worth.
    And you learn and you learn,
    with every goodbye you learn.

    GIRL YOU BAD...I LIKE!!!

    I have an even better story. Visiting my friend Travis' house, we were having fun hanging out, and drinking some Johnny Walker Black Label. I was looking pretty good, in 4 inch heels when Travis busted out a bb gun and set up a can on the other side of the living room to shoot at. (This same ex boyfriend happened to be rooming with him at the time but wasn't home), Travis and I each had 5 shots at the bb gun to see who'd win. I got all 5 out of 5 shots, in four inch mother effing heels. My ex boyfriend walks in the front door and stands there for a while until he said, "DAMN TRAVIS, YOU GOT OWNED BY A HOT GIRL IN HEELS, She's a good shooter." obviously trying to make another pass at me now I'm really blossoming into my beauty. I turned to my ex with my bb gun, pointed it at his crotch and said, "Hmm... small target, I think I can manage though... cause you're right, I AM a good shot." That shut him up pretty quickly. I will always remember Travis laughing like a crazy person after he heard this, and the slam of my exboyfriends bedroom door. ::Whistles:: Im a b*tch huh?

    OMG You are AMAZING girl! That is soooooo awesome! I can't wait to be able to get that kind of response from my exs and shoot them down. Well, I got it from one and fell for it only to get cheated on >=\ But anyway, it felt good when he came crawling back. You hella just inspired me, cause now I'm even more on a mission to make all the exs regret it =] Love the poem too!
