Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend who dumped me after 2 1/2 years because I got fat. The last two years I've lost 68 lbs, am happier and couldn't wait to shove that in his face. So, of course the first time he sees me I'm alone, I'm pushing a shopping cart full of ice cream for a party later. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 seven months apart, I agreed to meet with my ex, wondering if he'd changed. He sure did. He lost a ton of weight and picked up several new hobbies. He also picked up a 23 year-old new girlfriend. She's slimmer and prettier than I'll ever be. I threw my drink in his face and left in tears. FML
Today, I saw my ex-boyfriend walking down the street in my direction. I've put on a bunch of weight since we broke up, so I turned to look in the nearest shop window, hoping he wouldn't notice. Unfortunately he did see me, looking straight at a KFC. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend on campus. Upset, I decided to go to McDonald's to eat my painful memories away. While in the drive-thru line, I realized my ex was right in front of me. It looked like I'd followed him all the way from campus. He thinks I'm a stalker now. FML
Today, I went out shopping. When I left the store, I saw my ex, who I'm still crazy about. He helped me carry my bags out to the car. When I leaned in to give him a hug goodbye, he stepped aside, and I fell face-first into a puddle. He walked away laughing. 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, I was in my local supermarket's frozen aisle and I started doing a little dance of joy because my favorite ice cream was on sale. I turned around to see my ex and his new girlfriend watching me. FML
Today, I saw my long-distance boyfriend for the first time in 8 months. He dumped me on the spot because I was "uglier" than he remembered. 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, I saw my ex. I was sure he’d be miserable, but he looked happier than I’ve seen him in a long time. He somehow even looked younger, as did the woman he was on a date with, who’s a good 10 years younger than me. Meanwhile, I’ve gained 25 pounds trying to quit smoking. FML

He'll still have noticed that you're looking foxy nowadays. He's a guy. They don't miss that kinda thing. =]

Man, screw that ****** for dumping you, he should have supported you and been concerned for your health, rather than just dropping you. Great job on losing the weight though! And i'm sure he noticed it too. Have fun at your party!

Screw him. Be happy for yourself and don't base it on other people.

Obviously your ex is a shallow jackass. Why the hell do you even care what he thinks?

Shallow for not wanting to date a fat ****? I'd do the same thing. I hope you thanked him for getting you to lose the weight.

Lol. That's when you grin and say, "See, I told you it wasn't the ice cream; this is all I eat now and just look at me!" Haha.

Congrats on the weight loss! Takes alot of discipline to do that! and #49, She's buys ice cream for a party she's throwing... When I throw a party, I buy alot of things I dont have myself, like Cranberry juice to mix with vodka, I dont drink it though!! Or chocolate cake (I only eat vanilla) just because you're having a party, doesnt mean you're eating everything you're serving! Idiocy..

if he dumped you just because of your size, he obviously didn't care about you. if he really loved you he would stay with you despite gaining weight because he would be so attracted to your personality that you gaining weight would not make him leave. it's better off that he left you. now, 68 pounds lighter, you can get back out there and find a real man to love you. hope you had fun at your party!

Just what world are you living in? I bet you're one of those douchebags who goes around prattling about how we should love other people for who they are and for what they look like without realizing that what you look like IS a part of who you are. OP: YDI for being an insecure bitch who had to hang onto this grudge for two years just to try to throw it back in his face. YDI it even more if you got fat while you were dating him and then expected him to neither notice nor care.
