    Before I moved here (10 yrs ago) I had a fiance and while the weight isn't the issue, he did leave me basically for a girl who was pregnant, also not his. It just totally sucks that people do stuff like that.. but in the scheme of things I try to look at it the way as, we weren't meant to be together. If he's not willing to stick it out with you just for being "overweight" something you are changing, if he doesn't want you at what he could say to be your worst, then he certainly doesn't deserve you at your best :)

    Chin up, and smile, because you got this. Don't let him ruin all you worked for, so close to your goal!

    Wow my jaw dropped on the floor when I read this! I am floored. usually someone will just make an excuse for the reason but you have manged to lose a whole 10 year old child and he told you that you are too big?!?!?

    First off, as everyone else has said he is an *kitten*! NO....SERIOUSLY!!!!! What a jerk obviously you are wayyy better off with out him. Second, you honeslty need to put yourself first. I tried losing weight for other peole and realized that it has to be for myself. The moment that person, place or thing is out of your life you risk having all of your efforts be reversed.

    I know it won't be easy and that you must be very broken, but you have to love yourself too. I hope you move on like the strong individual you can be and press forward.

    Ok. First of all... he left you because he is an @**hole... not because you are fat!!!!

    Start getting angry, not sad... Once you get to the angry phase, I swear... you will want to do this to prove him wrong!!!!

    I have left the worst marriage imaginable and had him tell me the same thing. Didn't start losing until I realized it wasn't me that was the problem. It was that I had this lifesucking leach on me, keeping me that way.

    You can do it... Forget him!

    ^^ Great post^^ That about sums it up.

    !!!!!!!!_WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP_!!!!!!!!!

    Someone posted that some guys like to be with larger women. That might be true. It might also be true that a lot of times when you lose weight you gain a lot of confidence, and maybe he liked having someone who wasn't as confident. Now that your confidence might rival his chance at being the macho, confident one in the relationship, he feels less manly. Something so stupid like that. Some guys are just cowards whose only balls are based on how much they can feel superior to others.

    Just an opinion!

    I think you are AWESOME. And seriously lady, its always hard to remember in the moment but there are so many new fish in the sea. show them your confidence and your new hot bod!!!!! you'll find someone way better.

    He's a douche. He more than likely had another reason to leave you (he wanted to raise the pregnant girl's kid). You are not fat. You WERE fat and have worked very hard to lose the weight. Be proud of yourself. You have come a LONG way. I know it hurts. Give yourself time to get over it, and move on. You will find someone non douchey who values you for who you are.

    Has anyone thought that maybe the guy left because he didn't love the OP anymore. I mean that actually can happen in real life. Maybe he used the "fat line" as an excuse.

    there is no excuse for calling someone FAT, if you do not want to be with someone just say so, MAN up and tell them the truth. There is no REASON to hurt anyones feelings.

    often times, relationships aren't fixed with a physical alteration, but with an emotional one.

    For those who can only be in love with fit people, I understand. People of all walks of life need someone, if you are someone who needs that, then that's your deal, more power to you. Love is NOT blind and anyone who has fallen in love with someone who just sees them as a fat person would know this.

    Oh my lord! First of all what a jerk, second of all BRAVO on the AMAZING WEIGHT LOSS!!!!! I've been seriously overweight my whole life and the only time I was as thin as you was after my gastric bypass (I gained the weight back). Now I'm starting from scratch again at almost 300lbs, I've been capable of loosing 23 lbs but I can't physically work out yet so it's very slow going. I have a boyfriend that I've been with for 2 years and friends for 7 and he is absolutely in love with my body even though I'm a house. I think whoever you were with is just a jerk (I would love to use other words) and I think that although it hurts right now, you life with my way better without him.

    Good luck and keep up the amazing work!!!!!

    Girl! Be HAPPY!! THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW FIT AND FAB YOU, and don't you worry, he didn't deserve you, so you're better off without him, and more than that, once you're fit you'll be able to find loads more attractive guys as well, and he'll regret it every single day!! guaranteed, and if he doesn't, it doesn't matter, as you'll be such a happier person once you reach your goal, that you won't even feel the need for retaliation :D

    So sorry for the pain that his comments caused you, but you are better off without him. He sounds like an abuser to me. Seems like you were gaining control over your life and that threatened his status of being the center of your world. He's somebody else's problem now. Stay strong in your journey and re-discover the "you" that you want to be without him. And by the way, keep up the good work. Be strong and proud of all you have accomplished :)

    That's absolutely terrible. If you're 152 you're far from fat, he's just a big a-hole. And in the end (now it might be hard to see) it's better if he's not in your space anymore especially thinking like that, and especially if you really did work hard to lose the weight that you did. Good luck and hope something spectacular comes your way when the time is right. Continue on with your exercising, that should help with your feelings, I know it helps mine when things like this happen to me...gives me something to do and think about besides [that]. :flowerforyou: :heart:

    "Think highly of yourself, because the world takes you at your own estimate"


    Your ex is a DOOCHBAG for one.

    You deserve to be happy.

    You deserve to be with someone that loves YOU.

    If he can't take you at your worst, he doesn't deserve you at your best. (words to live by)

    Take care of yourself, love yourself, be happy! xoxo

    You can lose the weight and "be attractive" but he'll always be an a$$ho|e! You can revel in that. Girl, you can do this. And do it for YOU. So you can land a man MUCH better, who will love you, skinny or fit or fat or obese.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, cause that is what you are experiencing. As for him, if you have lost that much already, then he is just using that for an excuse, because he knows how sensitive an issue it is for you. He picked what would bring you down. but PLEASE don't let it. You are worth more than that. Someday, there will be someone who will love and appreciate you for the wonderful person you are. Just take some time for yourself, remember who you are, and keep going strong. IT WILL GET BETTER, I PROMISE!!!!
    Good Luck, Big hugs

    Seems to me that the best weight you lost was his stupid butt. It is so hard to see that right now, it still hurts. If you have lost weight and it still did not help, seems that there is another issue that he does not want to admit. Probably his stupidity- just my opinion. You will do great, stay on track and choose someone that accepts you for the wonderful person you are. Best of luck to you!

    First off you are not fat. I do not get people who act like that though. I have read some posts on here on this subject to my husband, and he has made it clear as he says in his words " I will love you whether you are 125 pounds or 500 pounds" I always joke and say "so IF i am under or over that range, you wont love me?" lol he says no matter what happens, he loves me for me.

    I am sorry your ex left you, it sounds stupid. It sounds like an excuse. My ex husband did that to me, he had the excuse that he "never loved me" when in reality he had met someone else and got her pregnant.
