My Story: My First Major Relationship and Weight Gain

Hello everyone. My name is Charm and this is my story. I met a guy through a mutual friend and we became very good friends. We eventually became more than friends. During our friendship I stayed at around a size 10/12. I watched what I ate and I exercised.

I was doing very well with maintenance until we started dating. He told me he loved me whatever size I was. I took him seriously and started gaining weight. The funny part is so did he. He gained sixty pounds and I gained over one hundred pounds.

I couldn’t fit any of my clothes anymore and I looked totally different. I wasn’t exercising anymore. I wasn’t eating healthy anymore. I had taken a huge step back. I really didn’t care because he loved me no matter what I looked like.

Here’s the thing. We got married and eventually divorced. I was a 22/24 when we split up. We weren’t together anymore and I had gained a lot of weight. I didn’t know what to do. It took me over ten years to lose most of the weight. I learned a big lesson. Weight loss is a personal thing. I let my weight be about someone. I haven’t done that since and it’s working much better for me.
