I am screwed if he breaks up with me

Post Reply New Topic

I just found out that I may have to be put on another medication. I asked my mom if I would gain weight as a side effect and she said she didn't know.

If I do gain weight and my partial boyfriend breaks up with me, I'm screwed and am destined to be alone forever. I truly love him and he truly loves me. Nobody would want me if I did gain weight.

If he truly loves you, putting on a little weight wouldn't matter.
If he breaks up, well, there are other people that would understand you for you and love you for YOU, not your appearance, so no, you wouldn't be destined to be alone. You would be rid of a shallow person. That's a GOOD thing.
And, not all medication makes you gain weight. Don't panic before you know.

Last, there are ways to avoid gaining weight, even with medication. Eat healthy, but exercise. Not heavy exercise, but enough to speed up your metabolism.

The world isn't over, and trust me, a guy who only likes you because you're skinny isn't worth it. A guy has to like you for who you ARE, not what you LOOK like. We all get old and ugly someday. It's inevitable, but look at the people who have stuck through no matter what.

I hope this helps. Do what is best for your health and well being, and let other people worry about themselves.

the meds that cause weight gain do it by making you hungry. if you don't give in and eat, or if you choose to eat broccoli and apples and carrots instead of chips or cookies, you won't be likely to gain much.

if you give the name of the med, i can tell you if it will even be an issue. private message me if you don't want to reveal it to the world. i have a PDR, which lists all meds and their side effects.

You'll be fine

Exercise and diet advice was correct, that should balance most of it out.

If you think he will leave you, then lose weight. Exercise and eat healthy - it's that simple.

@zxy8, That isn't a healthy response, it's not a healthy relationship if you have to lose weight so the other partner won't end the reationship. And she's talking about not gaining weight, she never said she needs to lose weight.

Everyone who has given advice about eating healthy and staying fit is right. Medicine can't make you gain weight if you aren't eating too much on it.

Why lose weight when she hasn't gained any?

She hasn't said she's gained weight. There is no health benefit to losing weight when you're at a healthy weight. What would be the point?

Alright, well, she's concerned that if she gains weight he'll dump her. She isn't saying she's gained weight, so what is the problem with her current weight if she's fine with it and so is her beau?

losing weight to be healthy is a plus. But losing weight to please a boyfriend is just not right. And basically eat fruit when you are hungry between meals and eat 3 meals a day and eat a lot of veggies too if you like them.
