Today, my fiance called off our engagement, all because I let myself go due to comfort eating and depression since my mother passed and I got fired from work. He told me to lose 60 pounds or he “won’t consummate the marriage with my lard ass.” Our wedding and honeymoon were less than a month away. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML
Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML
Today, during our wedding, my new husband said that he’d divorce me if I “let myself go.” Later, he couldn’t understand why I'd got upset and told me, “Why are you so worked up for? If you don’t want that to happen, just eat healthy and exercise daily, it's not that hard.” 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, 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, I was dumped by my boyfriend of 2 years. I'd been involved in an accident that severely hurt my right leg. As a result, I couldn't work out and gained 35 pounds, also due to stress eating and some meds I’m taking. Apparently I’m no longer attractive and he can’t have people thinking he’s a “chubby chaser.” 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, I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to go out with him because I was having a fat day. After ten minutes of fighting, he threw a ring box on the floor and stormed out. I basically refused his proposal because of my body issues. FML
Today, I officially completed my weight loss journey, only for my wife, who'd previously threatened to divorce me if I didn't lose weight, to tell me that she realized she liked me better when I was fat and that "you don't know what you have until it's gone." FML

So start eating right and working out. Bad shit happens to everyone. You decide whether it builds you or breaks you.

That's not how depression works. And that's one of the worst things to tell to someone who got one. Depression is a mental disease, people who are unlucky enough to have it need professional help to cure. Guilt them — how OP dare being sad after her mom died ??!!!! — is nonsense who can only make things worst.

Seems pretty reasonable, losing 60 lbs. isn't a big deal. Cut sugary drinks and skip breakfast you'll be there in less than a year. It's actually more work/money/time to maintain the weight.

If you don't know about depression or nutrition, don't talk about depression or nutrition, instead of giving bad advices.
Brightside86 31
Sure, though I'm familiar with both those things so I'm not sure what your getting at. it's a very doable goal. If you do the math 60 lbs is equal to 2.1 cans of soda a day for just under a year. Drop 385 calories a day for a year and bam that's all it takes.

Yeah, except one tiny detail : you have no idea of what OP is drinking or eating. By example, a lot of people don't drink soda at all. And, my personal example: due to depression too, I take antidepressants who make me gained a lot of weight, while I don't drink any soda and I didn't change my alimentary habit — I even lowered my meat consumption.

Why does this have more YDI’s? OP deserves so much better than the sorry excuse for a misogynist POS she calls her “fiance.”

The split is because Group A) Believes you have responsibility for how you react to things that happen in your life, and you need to get your shit together and stop spiraling. Group B) Belieives that you have less responsibility, you are fates victim and society/guy/boss are at fault for not being decent human beings when OP could clearly use some support.

Wow, lotta pricks here. Show some compassion. Are you the kind of people watching someone going through a depressive episode and then say "Cheer up, life isn't that bad."? People have their own way of processing grief. Some drink, some eat and some people may dive into work or whatever. But, you show compassion and give help where you can in order to help them move on from whatever is causing them this grief/depression. You don't abandon them. Her fiance never valued her as a person, never supported her and abandoned her because he's a shallow d**k. And so are a lot of you YDI motherf****rs

Eating your depression isn’t healthy. We all have a responsibility to keep our own bodies healthy. Like right now, I did the dumb during depression and let myself go. Now I’m manning up (even though my wife doesn’t care) and changing my habits to lose weight because i was irresponsible in what I put in my body. It goes far beyond me though. It affects sex, which isn’t fair to her, and it affects what I can do, how much energy ai have, plus reeks havoc on my body, causing more health issues, which in turn will affect my wife more due to the extra stress it will put on her, and it ultimately boils down to: No one forced all that junk down my throat except me. I cannot blame others for how I treated my body, but because of my actions, I’m not the only one to suffer consequences of what I did. And I don’t want to keel over due to the extra health I caused myself and leave my wife to fend for herself. I can only blame myself for what I did, and ultimately, i’m responsible for getting back into shape. Which I’m now saying no to sweets, carbs, and being lazy. I will have to sacrifice and sweat and struggle, but I’ll be doing it for the greater good of my health, my wife and our future. So she deserves whatever consequences it causes, but like all consequences of what you do, you are also solely responsible for fixing the damage you do to your own body. These days people rush to blame others, but refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions. A result of the “if it feels good, do it” generation. Of which I’m a part of. No one but myself made me fat. It’s up to me to accept my lumps and fix it. No one else. And I’ll struggle and fall sometimes, but to get that off my body, my organs and joints will thank me. Especially since I’m getting back surgery next week. Looking forward to hitting therapy and getting back on a bike.

Mr. Tiptoppc, congrats on taking initiative and pulling your self together, not only for yourself, but for others and I really do hope that everything works out. And I know eating your grief/depression is unhealthy. That wasn't the point of my comment, I was calling out the callous dicks on this sight. The OP gained weight and her dick fiance abandoned her instead of helping and supporting her and people are pushing the blame on HER. Like it's supposed to be her fault. Sometimes people need help getting out of their funk. It's hard pulling yourself out of something like that. I'm glad your getting help with therapy and stuff. But many others can't or won't. I struggle with mental ilness daily. ******* daily, dude. Luckily, I've got support. But many don't and punching down on them for not being able to pull themselves out of whatever they're going through is, in my opinion, ******* monstrous. And don't even get me started on those that trivialise the suffering. Yeah, she could lose weight, it's do-able. But people who've lost loved ones and who've lost their job ain't thinking about the gym, dude. All I've got to say on that, but, again best of luck to you and I hope you find the strength to fight whatever demons are weighing you down.

A healthy lifestyle is always a good idea

He did you a favor. He'd get no better after the wedding, and he'd always be putting you down, criticizing your weight/appearance, etc. I'm sorry for your loss. I understand stress eating and how hard it is to lose that weight. I'm on a journey myself. Good luck to you, in whatever you choose to do with your own body - just don't take him back.
