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

What the ****?! Your boyfriend is ******* stupid. And for those thinking size 4 is anorexic or something, I'm a size 1 and I look perfectly normal. Have a bit of pinchable baby fat around the tummy area, decent sized B cup, and cheek dimples when I smile. Although being only 5'2 helps as well.

Your boyfriend sounds like some of my guy friends. I'm 5'8 and 130 lbs and also a size 4, and they complain about me being flat-chested and having no butt! Haha, it's cool though because I'm comfortable with my body. I knew I'd never have a body like Beyonce, I just have a slender frame. And for all you people out there that think 130 is chubby, notice the height. It spreads out more. 8)

i'm gonna go ahead and say YDI. did no one notice that she lost all the weight not for herself, not to be healthy, but because her boyfriend wanted her to be 12 sizes smaller? that's the moment when you dump his ass. seriously.

I would just like to say, to those who feel a 12-14 is bad, I would be perfectly happy as a 12-14. In the summer before seventh grade I went from a size 14 to a size 24 due to a then unknown medical condition (hormone imbalance due to ovarian cysts). I was an after I found the problems 18 and was okay with it, because I know that it was mainly due to medication and not really any effort on my part. Im currently a 16 from diet and exercise and think that this is perfectly acceptable. Additionally, if I were a size 6 I would probably look extremely unhealthy. So Im just saying, sometimes being over weight is not your fault.

american sizes are confusing! if a 4's like a UK 8 and then a 2's like a UK 6 then you guys have SMALLER than that? its hard enough to even find a 6 in Ireland, and hard enough to find a 16! If you aint in this middle range of 10-14 its really difficult to find clothes. Its good to know other countries provide for the fact that people come in all different shapes and sizes. Especially since there are special larger size stores but very few petite stores, I have lots of tiny friends who have to tailor all their clothes. Oh but congrats on the weight loss, well done! **** the bf, if you get some confidence to match the new body then you wont be alone for long!!! xxxxx

What's the big deal in losing him? The trash took itself out. You got someone when you were a size 18; it will be much easier now that you lost the weight.
