I know I'm not the only one....

my brother.  he would constantly put my mom and me down for us being overweight. I am not even close to where I want to be but I am a far way from where I was.  I do not speak to my brother and haven't in over 10 years because he said some very hurtful things (about my being a horrible mother, accusing my parents of abusing him growing up, accusing my parents of my other brothers death at age 34, etc).  He is just a mental case so not worth my time or energy to be honest, so I don't want to see him or deal with his issues. 

Glad to hear you dump his ass. Men like that are not worth it. I too have been with someone like you describe and I'm glad I dump him long before I planned my surgery. I'm going to love seeing him again when I finally reach my ideal weight and see his facial expression. I've dated men who for the most part did not care about my weight but thanks to this guy I was always self-conscious about myself and screwed things up with other guys. Be glad you do not have him in your life anymore and be happy you can find someone else who is worth your time. I think playing the movie in your head is way better then reality. You can have so many outcomes playing it in your head than in real life  Good luck to you.

I love this post and the honesty here!  I'll include my crack head ex! Although hes has had to watch me grow mentally for 15 years and I know that just kills him, so the weight loss will be icing on the cake!

My sister.

we don't speak anymore but live in the same town.
Only time of year i see her is at the big annual craft sale in November....I can't wait to see her this year...i'll be 11 months post op...
suck it *****

"suck it *****"

My ex-husband and his wife.  He used to monitor my food intake while we were married and put a lot of pressure on me to lose weight.  They both relished when I gained weight while pregnant with my twins and after they were born, and got bigger than her.  Now, the tables have turned and she is the one who is MO and pregnant and growing by the day, and I am getting fit and slender!  Not to mention the amount of weight my ex has very obviously put on right along with her.  LOVE IT!!!

I really don't care to show anybody up or make them jealous, but for my kids sake, just knowing that their dad can't call me FAT B&#@h in his phone will be grand.  He doesn't realize that his slander doesn't mean anything to me, but means a lot to my daughters.  Maybe he will grow up, (i doubt that), but as i explained it to my girls, pretty soon he can only call me B&#@h.  They thought that was funny.  People just don't realize that their words hurt more than just the people it was intended for.  

Congrats on your progress, and getting away from such an pitiful person.  I wish you all the best and enjoy your new life as the beautiful person you have always been.
