    I am so sorry that you have gone through that.

    I haven't seen you, but I have no doubt you are beautiful :)

    If you want to lose weight for YOU - then do it.

    Anyone who would do what your husband has done, isn't worth your time or trouble.

    Good luck to you Sweetie.

    You'll find support here.

    1st thing I'd do is get angry and take all your aggression out at the gym. Run it off, walk it off, dance it off, but get it out; don't bottle things up. Be sad, but try not to pitty yourself too much, b/c that could lead to depression and lack of motivation. Tell yourself every day how beautiful and wonderful and strong you are. You can do this!

    Sorry to hear this~ been there done that with my first husband, the FIRST thing you have to do is to learn to LOVE yourself; once you do that, then you will want to become healthy for yourself and your children. DO NOT and I mean DO NOT do this for him; because I can pretty much guarantee that when you lose the weight he will find something else wrong with you.

    Good Luck on this journey, and pray and ask GOD for guidance.

    What we are all saying is hard to hear, but the truth.

    Anyone who can't appreciate the inner you no matter what the package is not worth being with - so...

    Lose the loser - figure out what you can do with your lovely children so you can survive and tell him to hit the road - you do not want to raise kids with a man you can't trust or who could get you sick with whatever bimbo he may be sleeping with.

    Then work on eating healthier - small steps. Throw out the junk food and teach you kids healthy eating habits. Make meal time family time and introduce and try new things - especially fruits and vegetables.

    Third, try to use My Fitness Pal - we are all here as support for each other. Explore the site well and let your heart lead you.

    You are a beautiful whole woman who deserves someones love and respect. Reach for the ring.

    I am very sorry to hear about what he has done. I think you should do this for you, and not him. He doesn't deserve the satisfaction of nowing he aided in your motivation. Plus you will get the pleasure of flaunting your new, fit, slim body in front of him, but not for him. Never let him know he broke you - hold your head up, stay motivated, set and achieve your goals, than give his cheating @ss the boot... :wink:

    I feel for you. But that's the wrong approach. If you do the same thing that he did then there won't be any difference between you too. And i am sure you don't want that. Lose weight for yourself and not to get back at him. It appears that your partner doesn't love you anymore. Whether you want out is upto you but that's usually the right thing to do. I am sure you will find your soulmate who loves you regardless of how you look.

    Take care of yourself and your children. Lose the weight for yourself so that you will be healthy and strong. Start logging in your food - own it if you eat too much - and you will want to start making healthy changes. Figure out how much protein you need as it helps will feeling full and curbing your appetite. Drink 10+ (8 oz) glasses of water a day. I know it sounds impossible but your body does adapt.

    I don't think it would matter what you weighed. I think your husband attacked you verbally because you caught him. So by viciously demeaning you and trying to blame you for his choices, it makes him feel that it is his right somehow. It is never a spouses right to cheat.

    So for now, take care of yourself. Believe you are worth it because you are. Take care of your kids. Lose weight so that you will be able to be there for your children and because you will be healthy. The husband............not so much.

    Good luck in your journey. I think you will find support here to get through this tremendous valley in your life. I pray that you will know that God loves you and wants only good things for you.

    You & your girls are what's important. His negative talk isn't good for you as a person and will be even worse for those two precious babies if you allow it to continue! You need to do what's right for the three of you, be it counseling, leaving or losing weight. I'll keep you in my prayers ... Keep safe ... Rise above the negativity ... Always remember you are beautiful ... Hang in there!

    I went through the same thing with my ex boyfriend. When I met him, I was 180. While with him, I got up to 260. Yikes! I found out he was cheating on me, and I decided I was going to leave him. I had a lot of anger, and I channeled it into working out; getting back to my pre-relationship weight. It's definitely working. I have 29 more pounds to lose. You do NOT deserve to be treated the way you're being treated. No one does. Do whatever you have to in order to leave him and you and your kids will be much happier, I'm sure. Most of all, know that however much you weigh, or whatever you look like, you're beautiful. If he can't see that, it's his loss.

    Wow I am just so sorry to hear that. You should not lose weight for HIM, only do that for yourself.

    I am sorry to hear this has happened. What your husband has done has nothing to do with you and your weight. It is a problem with him. I am sure this would not be his only complaint even if you were a size 4. Nothing would make him happy. He would have one hoop after another for you to jump through to win his affections. The problem is he does not know how to love someone and more than likely he doesn't love himself.

    Don't punish yourself for this. Be the best that YOU can be. Know you are loved by many people, no matter what you weigh! Love those two children you have and start again. You can do this.

    He is a jerk. DO it for you not for him or anyother man. Make yourself better for you and you girls. Your size has nothing to do with why he did what he did. A real man who really loved you would be by you no matter what and if he wanted you to get healthy then he would have worked with you to get you thay way. He used your size as an excuse for his bull!!! Dont be sorry for yourself be happy that your free!!!!!!!

    This will never work if you do it for him. You need to heal and get your priorities straight. Losing weight is not gonna make all the pain he put you through go away. It sounds like he doesnt love you any more ppl dont do that to someone they love. Stay strong and make small changes. But make sure you do this for you. You are in control. Not him. Good luck hun and we will be here for support on your weight loss journey :)
