We've all heard horror stories about men wanting women to lose weight.
It's reprehensible behavior and no one should have to deal with that sort of harassment. What's rarer, however, is to come across a boyfriend who wishes that his girlfriend would gain weight. It's just as controlling and problematic, but it's fairly uncommon.That, however, was the unfortunate case for Christina Carter, a 28-year-old who struggled with her weight and wanted to do something about it. When she talked to her boyfriend about plans to get gastric sleeve surgery, he was furious. When Carter started losing weight, he became extremely jealous, which of course led her to dump him.
Christina Carter weighed 275 pounds when she started her weight-loss journey. Her boyfriend didn't approve, so she recognized that he was being controlling and broke up with him accordingly.
She underwent gastric sleeve surgery, which caused her to lose 50 pounds. With diet and exercise, she lost an additional 100 pounds!
She had a tummy tuck to rid herself of excess skin, and she's now living the life she's always wanted.
Not only did she dump extra weight, but she also dumped her awful boyfriend. Fitness success isn't the only inspirational aspect of Carter's story. The fact that she removed controlling negativity from her life is perhaps the most important part of all.

Don't let anyone dictate what you can and can't do with your life. If you want to do something that will make you happier and help you reach your goals, do it. Leave anyone who doubts you or wants to hold you back in the dust.
