Today, my boyfriend let me know that when we met, he wouldn't have even talked to me if I was as fat as I am now. But lucky for me, he stays with me because, "there's love or something." FML

*insert generalized comment about taking pride in your body* okay nope not going down that road. If he really feels that way kick him to the curb because wow thats a Dick move...

You should dump him, these type of guys are the reason why women are so insecure about themselves.

Maybe if he's saying that and she's up to 120 from 100. But not if she's like 180. There's a difference between feeling insecure and being conscious of your health

Actually, most of the insecurity comes from those corporations that advertise that you need to be super thin to be attractive. You need "x" amount of skin care products to be cute. You need to wear these clothes and this makeup and tan and shit. Real men don't put as much emphasis on that stuff as much as natural beauty and health. I say: down with corporations!!! *steps off of soapbox*

Maybe you should learn to put the spork down from time to time...

That being said, are you done on your soap box you little hypocrite? First off, OP didn't say how long they had been dating. They could have been dating for 10 years and you would never know. And She didn't say how much weight she gained. Could have been 120 pounds. She didn't say that she's slightly larger than a toothpick. And for the record, not everyone that is considered obese is unhealthy either. I'd like to see your ass run up and down a field wearing 15 pounds of gear for 60 minutes like a lineman in a football game or a rugby player. Which brings me to you thinking that her boyfriend just wants sex. They could be celibate for all you know. "Love or something" is not indicative of just sex. So maybe you shouldn't just run your mouth on something you don't know the complete story for.

To the dubass who posted the essay, a chic who looked like a linebacker, fat or not, wouldnt be attractive either... If people dont like being called fat then put the ice cream down and hit the gym...

It really makes me mad when I see people saying YDI on anything that has to do with someone being overweight. All that's accepted in society is people that look like sticks, and it's sickening. Skinny does not necessarily mean healthy, and believe me it's not sexy if you can see someone's ribs through their clothes. It would be like hugging a skeleton. So stop saying YDI on every single FML that has to do with someone being bigger than a toothpick. That being said, OP, your boyfriend is a dick and a selfish pig. Dump his ass - he doesn't love you, he just wants to use you for the sex. Not talking to you if you looked like you do now back then...what an asshole. Dump him!

What Taurus_ChicKa said. If he actually loved the OP, he wouldn't have said what he said, or at least, not like that. We don't know how 'heavy' the OP is, but if the bf wanted her to lose a bit of weight, there are far nicer and considerate ways of saying it.

I didn't know there were only toothpicks and fat people around. What about somewhere in between? You jumped to lots of conclusions without knowning details

Okay obesity is an issue in this world today an it's disgusting in the 50's almost all women would have been under weight in today's society with all the bmi crap obese is not healthy fat isn't really either this world is eventually going to all be fat because people want society to be more fat friendly and it's disgusting it's not the way we are supposed to be they arent another race that shouldn't be discriminated against they are unhealthy humans killing themselves so grow up and lose weight cause you must be fat to have an issue with this

77 - The only "disgusting" thing here is your inability to put one single, goddamn punctuation mark anywhere in your verbal diarrhea of a run-on paragraph.

22- you must be one of those "bigger than a tooth pick" chicks because you seem very resentful about the situation. you know.. 9/10 times when someone mentions someone is fat, they really truly are. for some reason you fatter chicks always want the sympathy while at the same time, being hypocrites and judging skinny girls for not eating right or whatever. you fat bitches might not realize this but us "skinny girls" sometimes struggle with putting on weight as much as you struggle with getting it off.

#96 - you raise some valid points, but you don't need to say it in such a hateful way and you certainly don't need to use phrases like "you fat bitches". Yes, some skinny girls can struggle to put weight on in the same way that some fatter girls can struggle to lose it. Being either over- or under-weight is unhealthy, it doesn't matter which, they both are. The main difference is that being underweight seems to be more acceptable than being overweight, and that the media really can affect someone's perception of what the norm is.

Why can't someone just be a healthy weight for their height and age? No one is saying you have to be stick thin. Fat is fat & no matter how you slice it it's still unhealthy. I don't understand people that condone others to be overweight. You might as well tell them it's okay that they smoke crack too. Unhealthy habits should never be condoned. (thyroid conditions and other medical reasons preventing you from being a healthy weight are different & I understand that.)

I like the way #96 put it, it goes both ways in todays society, and not just for women, men to, alot of people are to quick to judge, I'm 6' & 115 and alot people seem to think that I don't eat enough, have eating disorder or that I'm a drug user or something, but I am actually quite healty and eat very well, it just a shame that in today's world people are so hung up on superficial beauty, I say f every one's life who judges people from the outside instead of what on the inside.

108- no I don't "need" to say it in such a hateful way but this is FML and I can choose to express ny opinion as I would like it to be heard. I'm sorry if saying the word bitches offended you but it obviously didn't take you away from the initial intentions of my message. Worry about conveying your message but forget about trying to teach people manners and morals.

RainbowHeadache - Agreed. But I there does seem to be a very narrow band of what people constitute healthy, and I'm not sure it's always where it should be. EnEl_Infierno - Totally agree with your points, one of my friends cannot put weight on despite how hard he tries. Though tbf how 'heavy' someone is can sometimes be deceptive, or even what clothes size. Ifknh8usernames - Yes, true, and tbf the word 'bitches' didn't offend me per se, I just felt it unnecessary. But true, you can express your opinions in your own way. And I don't see why people should forget about manners and morals...

It actually makes me angrier when people think they should be praised for being overweight. Sorry, but it's both easy and common to be fat.. If something as simple a light 20-30 min workout twice a week can make me look like a bodybuilder then I generally will assume fat people are lazy. Don't give me that I'm too busy crap either it takes 15 min and you can do it while cooking your food or watching t.v.

By reading FML you should have realized by now that with the billions of people in the world most of them are morons. He coulda just not had the brainpower or common sense to tell her in a more appropriate way

Did you ever think he could be genuinely concerned about her health, and just has an insensitive way of showing it? In OP's post, her bf mentioned that she was not as big as when they met. That makes me think that she hasn't been eating right or as often as she needs to, or she hasn't been exercising (if she was able to). So she became a larger size. I'm not saying she should turn into a stick figure, just that she should take care of herself so that she feels better. And her bf needs to be super supportive if she's trying already.

What I don't understand is why people make this leap of logic. "If you don't want someone who is morbidly obese--" O.K., I'm with you so far, "-- then the only alternative is to date someone who is emaciated". Nope. I lost you. Go back again. There are more than two body types, you morons. No one ever said anything about wanting a stick. I like the weight of the ol' pin-up chicks, myself, and my favorite body type is those women who are "big-boned," and I don't mean "fat," but rather, they have kind of a thick body type, like an Amazon, so that even if they are fat, they still look good. (These are the women you see modeling for plus size outfits)

Sorry but overweight is way over your normal weight.. no one said you should be a "stick" person. And im more sick of people "skinny shaming" and thinking that being overweight is healthy.. and btw.. most girls wouldn't go for a fat guy..

In all honesty, I like my women in the thick side. It's males like him that get with a woman simply for looks. But I don't blame them, I blame Hollywood and all these modeling agencies that drill it into people's minds that starvation equals sexy. So if he wants to be a materialistic pig, you're likely too good for him.

That's when you should've told him, "Well, the door's over there so leave or something." FYL though.

Sorry OP, that your b/f is an asshole. You need to be with somebody more deserving and better for you. Good luck.

"love lift us up where we belooong" well, maybe just him
