Should i tell my boyfriend i was 550 pounds?

so im 26 years old and i have been dating this guy for a 3 months now and we are taking things slow, but so far things are great. he is cute, funny and so sweet. yesterday we got together and we were talking about what we were like in high school. he told me he was scrawny, a hipster, and loved music. i told him was artsy, bubbly, and petite, when really that was a complete lie. growing up i was morbidly obese. i was a 400 pound freshman and i graduated highschool at 550 pounds. i didnt have a dad and i had a skinny older sister and mom who always made fun of me for my weight, so i always turned to food for comfort. Just as a teen, i had breathing and heart problems and it hurt just to stand up. I will always remember this, when i was 18 i went to the doctor and i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and he told me if i didnt lose weight i would be dead by the time i was 20. i started dieting and slowly started exercising and now 8 years later im 120 pounds and i dont have diabetes anymore, so i have lost in total 430 pounds. i still keep my old clothes to remind myself how far iv come. i dont like to tell people about my weight loss story because im kind of embarressed by it. i dont want people to know i used to weigh a quarter of a ton. Unfortunately, i still have stretch marks and the scars from my surgery to remove my loose skin, so no matter what the stretch marks and scars will never go away and thats why when i look into the mirror i still see that fat girl. i feel like right now him and i are in the phase of our relationship in which we should be completely honest with each other, but im afraid if i tell him il just scare him off. should i tell him?

Recommended Answer:

First off I want to say congratulations! I have struggled with weight my whole life and I understand. You need to stop thinking of yourself as fat and be proud of your accomplishment! Now about your boyfriend, you should tell him. If he loves you he will respect you for your strength and what you did to make yourself healthy.

• Might make a cool story. I doubt he'd get upset by anything that far in the past.
• Hey! If he loves you it doesnt matter! Its un the past, i knoe you dont wanna take advice from a 13 year old but im in 8th grade and i weigh 205 pounds! Last time i checked!
• Go ahead and tell him:)It will make him feel good that you are opening up to him about something so personal.Don't let it embarrass you, just keep that memory as a reminder of WHO you were and how FAR you have come. :)
