Same thing happened to me. Gained 45lbs from boredom over the summer, moved to a new location, didn't know anyone, and my gf dumped me too (pretty similar except the fact that I gained a sack of rice to my gut. Oh and remember this quote from some guy, Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Hope you find the one that makes you smile. Also if shes trying to change you, thats a bad sign The beginning of love is to let those we love be just themselves and not twist them with our own image -otherwise; we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. Unless shes just one of those phases where you just do it cause everyone else is doing it. Same thing with me. Well take care, if you gained it fast, you can probably lose it fast.
