I never imagined that I would be in a situation where my girlfriend would force me to slim down for our wedding photos.
We have been together for almost 5 years and I thought we were both happy with the way we looked. Little did I know that my girlfriend had other plans for me.
It all started a few weeks ago when my girlfriend showed me some wedding photos of her friend. She said that she wanted us to look as slim and toned as the couple in the photos. She suggested that I start going to the gym and eating healthy in order to achieve the same look. At first, I thought it was just a suggestion and I thought it was kind of cute that she wanted us to look our best for our wedding photos.
Little did I know that my girlfriend was serious about this
She started to constantly nag me about going to the gym and eating healthy. She even started to make comments about my body in front of our friends and family. I started to feel embarrassed and ashamed of my body and I felt like I could never meet her expectations.
I tried to explain to her that I was happy with the way I looked, but she didn’t seem to understand. She kept pushing me to go to the gym and to eat healthy. She even started to buy me diet books and meal plans. I felt like she didn’t trust me to make my own decisions about my body and that she was trying to control me.
It got to the point where I was so stressed out that I started to lose weight without even trying. I was so anxious and stressed out that I was having trouble sleeping at night. I was also having trouble concentrating at work and I was having a hard time focusing on anything.
Finally, I had enough. I broke up with my girlfriend and told her that I wasn’t going to let her control me anymore. She was shocked and didn’t understand why I was breaking up with her. I told her that I didn’t appreciate the way she was treating me and that I needed to be able to make my own decisions about my body.
Breaking up with my girlfriend was one of the hardest things I have ever done.
I thought she was the one for me and I still care about her deeply. But, I know that I needed to do what was best for me and my mental health. I’m now focusing on taking care of myself and loving my body the way it is. I’m also working on getting back into shape and eating healthy, but this time it’s on my own terms.
