Today, I proudly informed my boyfriend that I am now a size 4, down from an 18, after months of dieting and exercising after he told me he would like me to be a size 6. He broke up with me for "not listening to what he wanted" and "being an overachiever". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend bought me a pair of jeans. I couldn't fit into them, and he reacted to this by saying I've gotten too fat for him, and he can't be with me anymore. I took them off and saw they were a size 4. I've been a size 8 for the past 2 years, and he knows this. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I've recently become serious about getting fit, and have lost nearly 84 pounds. Apparently, when I was fat, I made her look smaller in comparison. When I got slimmer, she insisted I either gain the weight back or she'd leave. So she did. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I'm now about 15 pounds overweight. When I called him a hypocrite as he's over 40 pounds overweight, he said that his weight didn't matter because "it's the girl's job to look hot." FML
Today, after my ex helped me drop over a hundred pounds, I broke up with him because I looked and felt so much better, and knew I could do better. Turns out he was the only thing keeping me slim, as I've put back on over twenty pounds. I asked him to take me back and he told me to fuck off. FML
Today, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML
Today, after supporting my girlfriend for over a year in her endeavour to lose weight, exercise more, and eat better, my now-slender girlfriend dumped me, because she's found someone "better" than me. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted to purposely sabotaging all my weight loss efforts. When I confronted him, he said it’s because he doesn’t want me to get thin and turn into one of those stuck up, snobby, mean girl types that wouldn’t date him in high school. We’re in our 30s dude, get over it! FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a text that said, "I can't be seen with you anymore. You're too fat." FML
Today, my boyfriend of a year and a half informed me that he had "accepted" my stomach, even though it didn't conform to his "preference" for a flat stomach. He then added that his acceptance doesn't extend to my "chunky thighs". FML
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years dumped me, after he intentionally made me fat so that I wouldn't leave him. FML

Congrats on losing all that weight! You definitely deserve better than that treatment though.

Congratulations on losing the weight you wanted, I hope you were careful and healthy about it. Your (ex)boyfriend is an idiot and a douchebag for doing that, but it really looks like he was looking for ANY reason to break it off. On the other hand, he might just be really controlling, I mean he demanded a specific size and got upset when that didn't happen. On the bright side, though, you probably look absolutely amazing and could get whoever you want. :D And to those stating certain sizes are too big or too small, or calling those who say a certain size is too small must be chubby/fat girls, what is or isn't healthy on a person depends on their body type. Personally, I'm 5'11" and pretty broad at the shoulders and hips and my doctor says that if I went below 140 lbs, I'd start becoming unhealthy skinny. A size 4 on one girl may be perfect, but on another rail-thin. It varies, people aren't made with cookie cutters. Deal with it.

if you went from 18 to 4 in just a few months, you are either on drugs or anorexic. Neither of which is healthy so its no wonder your bf left you - you need to get help now. When I weighed almost 200 lbs, size 18 clothes were too large to wear, and I prefer my clothes baggy. at 130, Im size 14.

I call fake on you. Im assuming you are short (which you must be if you are a 14 and 130 lbs. Im 130 lbs and tall, I wear a 5) so when you weighed roughly 60 lbs more you only went up 4 sizes? That would not be possible for even a taller girl. Also the heavier you are the faster the weight drops off, so she doesn't have to be on drugs to loose weight.

If your now ex bf asked you to lose that much weight in the first place.. you're the idiot for listening. No offence. Congrats on the weight loss.. but also congrats on not having that douche in your life anymore.

you're lying. no way that would have happened. a guy who told you to get down to size 6 from 18 wouldn't even notice the difference between 4 and 6. if nothing else, ydi for being an 18 in the first place. enjoy all of the extra skin you have now...

Why would you ever change yourself like that for someone? People who try to alter others, body or mind, bug the shit out of me.

I don't get why anyone would put YDI for this. Her bf was just an a-hole

I'm going to call your boyfriend the straw that broke the camel's hump (that's how the saying goes right?). Although I doubt I'd ever make such a change just because of a boyfriend, it's not really a big deal to take his suggestion into account when making a decision to lose weight. Him saying to lose weight does not make him a bad guy nor does it make you somehow have a weaker character. Good for you for making a healthier improve to your life and good think he's out of it now. A good boyfriend should be supportive of your accomplishments, not use them against you.
