He Won'T Touch Me Because I'M Fat

I gained some weight recently.
I've been exercising and eating less..
It doesn't help.
I looked into my family history.
I'm doomed to be short and fat.
I'm five feet tall.
I already weigh 135 pounds.
And I'm growing.
Out. Not up.
My boyfriend doesn't touch me anymore.
He says it's because we argue.
We don't argue more than usual.
But by the time I hit 125...
Nah, he doesn't touch me now.
I'm doomed...

Stephen Kilmer March 9, 2014 at 12:36 AM If he loves you he will touch you. lt is not what is outside it's what is inside. I just gained 30 pounds and my wife still loves me. You will see the light. Good verse. ~Kilmer Sierra Arnold May 18, 2014 at 4:52 AM Thank you for this. I recently lost a lot fifty pounds. I hit 160 before doing something about it. I weigh 113 and I love my body again! I ended that relationship. He just wasn't able to lol me like I needed to be loved.
