I've always been pretty active, led a healthy lifestyle and ate consciously. In August, I left my ex, a narcissistic, roided out, typical "babe, am I getting smaller?

    ... *kitten*... The type of guy who, no matter how amazing you look -will make you feel like you could have done better. So, as an F-You to him and the rest of the world - I said *kitten* it and began excessively indulging in processed junk food, no longer caring about my physical appearance. As a result, I've gained 15 pounds of fat and regardless of how hard I went at the gym -I saw my body changing dramatically, for the worse! So I downloaded this app in hopes of dropping the fat and gaining lean muscle. And the ex, well, I wish the best for him, but he can keep injecting steroids into his body and being a self-centered *kitten* all on his own.
    I don't even care about looking amazing, I just want to feel good and know that my actions show that I love myself instead of all the immense self hatred and criticism I have been inflicting on it. Thanks for reading you guys.

    Oh hey, I had one of those guys! He's also an ex now and I ran into him about six months ago. "Wow, you look great!" he said. My response? "Actually I weigh more than I did when you first started calling me fat". People don't realize what they speak into existence.

    Good for you! You got this!!!

    Find a healthy relationship and never look back.

    And remember that it's a million times better to be independent than in a bad relationship. I hesitate to use the word "alone" because we aren't alone just because we aren't in a relationship. We have family and friends and co-workers, etc.

    A good man who truly loves you will never comment about your weight. Through 25 years of many ups and downs in my weight, my husband has never once mentioned it. If you encounter a man who makes derogatory comments about your weight or appearance, run for the hills! Life is too short to waste it on someone who doesn't appreciate you for you.

    Strong this.^ And people underestimate how awesome it can be to be single & independent. Teaches you a lot about yourself.

    such stress with someone like that. I had me one and you are never good enough. I have a good husband now of 23 years, what a difference. Be glad you are rid of him, they only think of themselves.

    I think one of the big red flags in a relationship is not to feel appreciated for who you are and what you contribute - assuming you've taken a step back and honestly self-accessed. But also remember, selfish, self-centered people rarely do that. They only B & M about things instead of looking in the mirror. Sounds like the ex qualifies! So forgettabouthim! Don't let his contagious negativity detract from you being you and the best you can be!

    I agree, My ex husband, all full of himself, emotionally abused me, He pinched my fat, he told me my clothes looked uncomfortable and tight on me. I had an eating disorder while I was with him. It was either exercise and dieting and weight loss pills, or overeating to self comfort the wounds he inflicted on me. I came to hate gyms and fit people because I wrongly thought all people who are in shape must be narcisistic jerks. But no, not all are, we are just trying to improve ourselves.
    I now have the most amazing and supportive boyfriend. I wonder why I couldnt have found him 11 years ago instead!! Good men exist, just have to enjoy the journey with yourself before that special someone shows up in your life.
