Holy mother of moses, I watched an episode of this show on Discovery called X-Weighted. Ugh.
It was about this GORGEOUS, charming woman named Jennifer who had been a model but gave up modeling to go to university (which wasn't really her choice at the time) and out of issues we all can probably relate to, she put on weight.
Anyway, she's doesn't feel physically good. Some of us can probably relate to that also. She wants to work out and get fit to feel better, feel like she can walk up stairs without running out of energy. They show her hanging out with her BFFs and seems to be cool with herself otherwise.
Her boyfriend though. I wanted to choke him! She was her current plus size when they met but he just tells her awful things about her weight.
He scolded her in front of her guests for ordering pizza on girls' nite out. He also told her he is withholding affection until she loses weight.
If she didn't buy into his BS, she might still not feel physically fantastic, but at least she wouldn't have her bouts of self-loathing.
She loses /some/ weight but stops a few pounds shy of her goal because she gets a plus-size modeling contract (which was her ultimate goal) but her jackass boyfriend can't find it within himself to be proud or supportive because he's totally hung up on the fact that she could be smaller. (She became a size 16, the modeling agency doesn't want her smaller than a 14.)
After watching this, I feel like it's necessary to tell all you chicks out there, if your man is saying you only deserve a certain level of love based on how you look, GTFO of that relationship because you DESERVE better.
And those of you fellows who love your woman because of WHO she is, props to you. That's how it's supposed to be.
