This is a kicker

Well, you are right that's terrible. You will be fine I am sure. Hopefully you have a back up. I know I have a back up to my back up to my other back up.

I think you should get to count his entire scale weight as loss! Great week, Gal. "Exorcising your Ex" might be a good read. Sorry for your loss. I hope you find replacement support from friends boards and support groups. You got this!

The jerk isn't worthy of you. As much as it hurts now, and believe me it hurts, it's preparing you for so much better. You will be finding out things about yourself that you have no idea of your beauty and strength.

Wow what a jerk. Just try to remember everything happens for a reason and someone better who is home more will come along. Good luck with your surgery and let me know how you make out.

When you loose the weight and he decides to come back. Smile and keep moving. He had his chance.

Good riddance!

Focus on yourself and to hell with him.

Maybe he didn't like the thought of you being empowered. Maybe he feels like an obese and suffering you is more in his control. Maybe he's worried that if you gain some self confidence, he can't keep you down. Or that he sees you spending time and effort on yourself that he's rather see be spent on himself.

It's was all of that and more. I am also returning to school in the fall to complete my masters. He claimed to be supportive of all of this but in the end " felt our lives were going in different directions" (his: nowhere, mine: bigger and better!lol!)

There's a reason why "Male" prefixes "Pride" and "Ego"! When my wife found a job and started making more money than I-even though it would be for the betterment of our family as a whole-I felt threatened and envious!? Why? We are part of a sick environment and role play. I had to get over it! And I did. I for one, am glad of your self-empowerment and taking accountability of YOUR life!

Be glad he's gone now. You don't need him if he wants to bail. You will be happy with your results and he will be sick. I'm trying to get rid of mine now.
