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?

How to Lose Weight Quickly for Women Over 40

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.

Other Answers:

• 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. :)

How to Lose Baby Weight After Two Years

Recommended Answer:

become fat adapted then cut the dietary fat so your body still expecting a LOAD of fat from your meals every day will target your body fat even more in order to receive those fat calories for energy ...the inches of blubber which you now possess will simply vanish over the next few weeks and you'll become ripped...eat this for 14 straight days then stop and then begin Part 2 of this plan... HIGH fat foods ...healthy fat / oils but you can have basically whatever you like ie eggs and bacon ....etc...now this is crucial...keep your protein moderate ... BUT... cut your carbs down to a bare minimum ...fibrous green veg are excellent as they provide plenty of fiber ..very low in carbs and extremely good for you...so basically your changing from being a carb burner to a fat burner (fat adaption)...while your on this plan keep lifting HARD / HEAVY and performing cardio ...low intensity is ideal...by doing so you will keep your muscle while shedding the fat...its simple...remember. AFTER the first 14 days have gone .. the protein intake is HIGH ...carbs low...and of course dietary fat low ..

Other Answers:

• You're 285 pounds, you're not gonna become model size fast hahaha
• good diet and good workout routine and that muscle will show up
• Amputation
• Run a lot to burn fat then use weights to grow muscle
• If u watch tv try working out during the previews it will burn a lot more calories than rather sitting down and whatching through the previews. and at night do 50 crunches, the plank hold for 1 min 15 lemon squizers, and do lunges

How to Lose Weight Fast on Fable 2

Recommended Answer:

Here's a good low-carb food/exercise plan:Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine. Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese, spinach...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it. Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers. Avoid junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar), gluten, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, soda, chips, tobacco, alcohol and coffee. No oil except olive and mac nut. To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, unsweetened veggie and fruit juice. Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.For more energy, take Super B complex.
