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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend of 5 years dumped me because she got tired of me being thinner than her and, in her own words, making her look bad. 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 girlfriend had a huge fight with me because while I'm trying to gain weight and she’s trying to lose some, I’ve still lost more weight than her. Not my fault my body’s natural preference is to drop pounds like they’re 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, 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
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 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
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years dumped me, after he intentionally made me fat so that I wouldn't leave him. FML
Today, and since we met, my girlfriend has forced me to change my hair, clothing and jewellery, and my diet. She has changed basically everything about me. Then this morning she dumped me because I'm "not the guy she fell in love with a year ago". I'm not even upset because its too funny. FML
Today, my ex is bad-mouthing me, saying I dumped her because she got fat. That’s not true. I left because she completely gave up on life, no matter how much I tried to help. Not only did I get her gym membership, I even paid out of pocket for a mental health professional. That’s not cheap. FML

she did you a favor. Can't imagine the relationship would have been great anyway with her personality

Look, if she was only with you to feel better about herself, it's much better this way.

That sucks OP, but hopefully you can pull yourself up and find someone who supports your new lifestyle. Congrats on doing so well :)

Loosing that much weight doesn't happen overnight. (It took me 15 months to loose 50kg) One of the best secondary benefits is a positive change in your attitude. She probably had more of a problem with this than the actual weight loss.

Or, maybe, she has a fat fetish and is only physically attracted to chubby people. She might have been too chicken to admit that. Because I honestly doubt that one chooses a partner solely to mask one's flaws.

OP did lose weight. He lost even more now since she's gone :) She truly did you a favor. What kid of significant other would have that kind of attitude anyway?

good on you to stick with what's best for your health, both physically and emotionally. it may be hard losing her, but that is not the kind of attitude you need from someone who should support your goal to better yourself!

You deserve someone better. You have to like the person you are before you can contribute fully to a relationship.

Good for you, find someone whose self esteem doesn't rely on other people looking bad to make her feel good. You've dodged one hell of a bullet there.

If someone has issues about what you eat, eat them too. On a more serious note, congratulations on losing weight!

So she did not love you and you just lost another 100-something useless weight! Congratulations! (Yeah, I know you might not be in the mood for jokes --I hope you find a real love and in the meantime enjoy your "new" body, you really did great!)
