My boyfriend broke up with me because I am overweight?

Question

He broke up with me last week. It hit my confidence really bad. i even tried to talk to him about working it out but he just doesn't want me anymore. he said he doesn't feel the attraction anymore. he lives in another state. i dont know what to do? this is killing me inside. should i delete him off my fb? drop all the contact. we were supposed to see each other in August and thats when i planned to surprise him with my new body shape and size. please someone help me. he was very rude to me when he broke it off with me over the phone... what do i do? i want to prove him wrong and show him that i can lose weight and be fabulous as well.. a part of me really wants him bad but the other part of me is shocked at this behavior of his because he doesn't value my personality. i m so broken right now. i need major help:( i want to show it to him once i lose weight show him what he missed out on. do i remove him from my fb friends list? what will make him come back to me?

Please please listen to me. Im overweight and by far more than you. I have an amazing boyfriend who loves me and treats me with respect. he's not the only boyfriend i have ever had. I've had 5, the first one made a comment to me about my weight in the throws of passion and he was history the next day, because i won't tolerate it. After that, i have dated and never once had anyone disrespect me not even in a heated argument when tempers say all sorts. My point is, be yourself, be confident and men will love you for your confidence and happy nature regardless of your weight because they find it sexy. The ones who dont appreciate your fuller figure can go find someone they prefer and it should be no loss to you. Love and respect is what you need and you will never find it in this guy. Please trust me. He is immature and will never treat you with respect wether you are slim OR curvy. he's just that type of guy. Let him go and be another girls headache, not yours. 2 years from now you will look back on the initial heartache you felt and be relieved you let him go. When i dumped my first boyfriend it hurt a lot, it wasn't easy. But my pride wouldn't let me take him back, i knew he would never make me happy. I think deep down you know this too. Its just the hurt making you want to cave in. DONT CAVE IN. You will be surprised how being strong about this makes you more confident. Now, regarding the weightloss, i am so pleased for you. I've been overweight since i was 3. Im 40 now, I've never managed it. The fact you have lost so much already tells me you are strong willed enough to get through this. Dont loose weight for him though, he's not worth the comitment. Loose the weight for yourself, to feel healthier and happier if thats what you want to do. You seem a lovely person with a lot to offer the right guy. he's out there, and he won't be the only guy interested in you either. I didn't loose any weight for my first boyfriend, i just sent him on his way. 3 months later i met a gorgeous italian guy who idolised me, we were out one night and a friend pointed out his ex girlfriend. She was slim and pretty. He chose to date me for me, and never tried to change me. We also bumped into my ex, who to my dismay was gutted id found someone else, yet i  hadn't  lost any weight. But i had moved on to better and you will too. Good luck hun and remember! never accept a man whos not good enough for you, otherwise you pave the way to a very unhappy life, and life is too short for that x

I'm sure everyone is telling you that he's an insensitive jerk, but sadly the facts are we can't help what we're attracted to. We can't choose to feel something, or to like something. The important thing here is to KNOW there is NOTHING wrong with you!!! He obviously wasn't right for you, and while I'm sure you're hurting a lot right now, once you heal and some time has passed, you'll have another chance to find someone amazing who is right for you and loves you as you are :) I'm fat and polyamorous. I have 2 boyfriends who aren't even interested in finding another woman to sleep with because they feel satisfied and happy with me. I have a few other guy friends who would like to have sex with me. I just try to be a good person, be open minded and not judge people, and that has earned me a lot of loyal friends and admirers. Don't EVER change anything about yourself, unless YOU want to, for YOURSELF!! Don't ever live to make others happy. If you live for you, the freedom of confidence will inspire others around you, and they will learn to find that same happiness, and they will want someone like you around them :)

Delete him on Facebook and block him if you think you're going to have a hard time preventing yourself from contacting him. Drop all contact.

Listen to me and listen well: you do not need people in your life who prey on your insecurities in order to make you feel worse. A boyfriend should not be pressuring you to lose weight but instead support you when you make that decision of your own accord. Do NOT get back together with him under ANY circumstances. I don't care if he begs on his knees in the pouring rain - you do NOT need someone in your life who makes you feel like shit on purpose.

So you continue on your weight loss journey because it's something that YOU want to do for YOURSELF and not because it will make him want you back.

did you gain a lot of weight in the three months after you first started going out with him? if you were already overweight then it's safe to say that isn't the reason he broke up with you. why would he want to go out with you in the first place even though you're overweight, and then break up with you for that very reason? it just sounds like he isn't attracted to you anymore, and it has nothing to do with your weight. if this is the case then you can't do much to get him interested again. it happens. you can't talk him into being attracted to you. this is just my own guesswork but it sounds like he left you for another girl because people don't just lose attraction for their partner. i think you should just move on, which shouldn't be too hard because he really doesn't sound all that great. it's good that you are trying to lose weight. i would advise that you continue down this road, but do it for you, not for him. since you are trying to forget about him now you should delete him from facebook as well, maybe block him too so that he can't add you again or message you. i doubt he will, but just in case.

I can bet you he is or was already talking to another girl living in another state. he's gone girl, so here's what you do, continue with your weight loss journey, get really fucking hot and start dating a guy 10x better looking than him. post that shit all over your fucking social media.

Theguyoverthere · Answer

Remove him from your FB. You're clearly doing a great job losing weight already and without sacrificing your health, it doesn't happen overnight. He's being impulsive and expecting miracles. Don't try to make him come back to you. Keep at the weight loss and let someone else appreciate the working you're doing for yourself. Also notice I mentioned "for yourself." You shouldn't work out just to please another person. Just don't take him back and I honestly recommend cutting contact to make sure that doesn't happen.

Kenzy-Yinn · Answer

I want to tell you this... Work your butt off, lose the pounds, prove him wrong... But don't take him back.
It's his loss... He could have just asked you to exercise more and joined you for motivation, instead of breaking up.

Be strong. Lose the pounds, be proud, but don't take him back.

The only payback for this is to lose all the extra weight you want, you aren't overweight but if you wqnt to lose weight to feel confident thats fine once you're done with you weight loss journey post a selfie that you like and feel confident in and then don't take him back

Klaatu51 · Answer

there's NO need 2 bother wid such a person anymore actually... he simply didn't care bout u... and don't lose weight just for him... lose weight ONLY coz u WANT IT.

Navier-Stokes · Answer

Oh come on! You are not even that overweight!
Don't bother with him. He has probably found another girl and is making you feel bad to not feel guilty himself!
Don't feel bad! It's better to find out now than later. And never ever change sooon yourself to please another person. Do it for yourself... They don't deserve you if they don't like how you are!!

justmine50 · Answer

You shouldn't be with him anyways. That's was inconsiderate of him to just break up with you because of your body weight. You should be looking for someone who likes you for you & not just what your weight, height, or personality is. All of it is beautiful, inside & out! Good luck on that journey of yours!

Guysvsgirls · Answer

What you should do is if you want to, continue to lose weight. Show him that you are beautiful inside and out. But DONT take him back. He's not worth your time. If he breaks up because of your body type, then obviously he wasn't very emotionally attached. He doesn't deserve you.

Get in shape and look better. Shock him when you look better and upgrade to a better guy with a better personality. Why would you want to go back to some one that left you so easily. It's hard to do... but It takes time to forget people especially removing them from anything helps.

Anonymous · Answer

I guess now you're free to find a guy who likes you inside and out. Imagine you had an accident tomorrow and fucked up your face, wouldn't you want a man that's still down regardless what you look like. Looks can disappear in an instant, personality is for life. Plus, imagine you got back with him and grew old together... Good luck keeping him when you get all old and saggy.

A man who dumps you because of a weight problem isn't worth it. If he had a issue with your weight he should of just talked to you not broken up with you.

ArabianPwincess197 · Answer

He's a shallow jerk. And tbh it sounds like an excuse. He probably found someone else

Mustachekitteh · Answer

He's probably cheating on you or he can't stand being in a LDR anymore?

linkywinky · Answer

He was a dick to you. He doesn't deserve your new body.

Touglyforfemales · Answer

First off he's a jerk, but you now know what us fat/overweight guys go through welcome to the club. But I refuse to lose weight.

ShaeNielson · Answer

I think it's just a bad excuse, I mean honestly, how much can you possibly have gained in 3 moths..

youngandlost · Answer

For starters, you shouldn't change for someone else's approval. The guy doesn't even live in the same state anymore. He isn't coming back for ya
