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

Congratulations on losing all of the weight! I'm glad you feel better about yourself, but it's unfortunate that you're boyfriend was that much of an ass. It sucks that your ex had to be a motivator, but it's fantastic that you were able to lose the weight, and become a size you really wanted.

her boyfriends not an ass at all. she was obviously overweight and honestly, no one wants to date a fat person. so congrats on losing the weight, but don't diss on the boyfriend for wanting a girlfriend with an attractive figure.

Well, that's quite simple, isn't it? If he didn't want a girl who was a size 18, he shouldn't have been dating one in the first place. He has every right to dislike larger bodies, and there are plenty of size 6 girls out there, but anyone who gets a girlfriend he finds unattractive just to try and change her, is a complete ass. And is also likely to totally destroy her self steem and all sense of self worth in his quest for a "hot girlfriend". But hey, it's ok to do that because she was fat, right?

There's nothing wrong with wanting a girlfriend with an "attractive figure." But the thing is, he should go find one instead of dating someone he doesn't find attractive in hopes of changing her. And then to COMPLAIN and DUMP her when she exceeds his expectations. WTF? Yes, he is an ass.

You are looking at this the wrong way. Since your ex was willing to date a size 18, I'm going to assume he isn't exactly the biggest catch out there. Now that you are a size 4, you can probably do way, way better than you're loser ex. You should've dumped him, his fml would've made more sense: Today, my girlfriend, who I had been urging to lose weight, broke up with me after going from a size 18 to a size 4 because she said she is too attractive for me now.

Yeah, that's really going to make her feel better. People don't understand that you're the same person inside, even when the outside changes. I've lost over 75 lbs in my life, and it's the worst thing ever to know that you are somehow a "better" person when you're skinny.

I agree, I really hate when people think you need to lose weight to be "better" and that if you are bigger, there is something "wrong with you"

A man who knows dress sizes is obviously gay.

Let your controlling asshole of an ex go on to be some other woman's misery while you find someone who loves YOU. You'll be fine.
