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
Collection
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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!

Oh, yeah, sure, pretend the ice cream was for a *Party.* Don't worry, we all know that you're gonna dip into a carton or two after that encounter.

Guys like that are shallow tools that need to be hurt. Hope he hurts now that he sees you!

As many of you know, I don't go in for poking fun of the fat people and I have had some arguments with other commenters over it. And you can claim it is on par with pouncing on drug addicts, alcoholics, etc (being fat doesn't impair you to a degree where you can hurt others). But it's not the same, because we have at least 2 categories - fat due to illness or fat due to overeating. The first category can't help it, and the second one is moving the US economy forward much faster than the stick people, some examples: 1) More groceries! Those chains are in the black because of the fat people. Just look at OP, she is buying out the whole damned ice cream section! PROFITS... 2) Greater tendency for health problems. The doctors are cashing in, and the labs, and the hospitals, and the pharmaceuticals. When the OP eats enough of that Ice Cream, her arteries are going to clog and that will result in hospital fees, blood work, doctor's fees, surgical costs and RXs. 3) Therapists! Just look here, obviously this lady needs some intensive therapy if she gives two ***** about some asshole boyfriend that dumped her 2.5 years ago. She could keep some Dr. in summer vacations for years to come. And then she will be bolstering the economy of the vacation community as well. 4) Bigger cars that cost more! Fat people don't fit in a Kia Accent peeps. The bloating alone from eating a cart full of Ice Cream will make it impossible to mount the driver's seat of that Toyota Echo. 5) Jobs! The weight loss industry employs thousands upon thousands - and those snake oil salesmen are propping up dozens of industries (real estate, shipping, packaging, advertising, etc etc etc). I could go on and on. But, OP, I have to tell you I'm not buying this whole *party* concept. I say pack on the pounds!!! It's just more of you to love. And they don't call them love handles for nothing, what is your man going to grab on to while he is pounding you in the ass? Don't be ashamed, you go ahead and eat every last drop of that Ice Cream no matter what these insensitive bastards may say!

You are a real as*hole. I'm so glad I don't know you. This class of 8th grade boys I was chaperoning yesterday had one like you in the bunch and everyone hates him because even 8th grade boys know that people like you are unbearable.

So what, don't let him make you feel bad! You really shouldn't care what he thinks of you now. It was shallow of him to dump you for being fat and cruel for him to tell you that was the reason. At least you took it as motivation to get healthier, so next time you see him just ignore his dumb ass.

I don't undestand some of you people. Maybe her ex had been telling her to lose weight and she hadn't or possibly she didnt need to lose all that weight. Maybe she was only really 40 pounds over weight and decided to lose the extra 28 that she didnt necessarily need to. They both have some growing up to do. Her ex needs to stop being a physical attraction dick and the OP needs to let a freakin' grudge go! But by all means, congrats on the excellent weight loss.
