Lily had never been a slim girl. She was always chubby from her childhood but looked pretty and cute. When she grown up, she met a guy. He liked her though she was not slim like others. He looked at her with his impressive eyes. Soon, they both fell in love with each other.
And then at one evening, they went to a rooftop restaurant. It was a romantic evening. Soon the roof was flooded with moonlight. And they were gossiping. Just before ordering for dinner Jack knee down and proposed to her. They both were excited and then it began. She accepted him as she thought he would be a great husband for her.
Soon they were married and a luxurious function near the beach had been held. But soon after the marriage, everything changed. He was not loving anymore. In the case of Lily, she was just like before. She dressed like before and eat like before. But there was something wrong with her husband who always rebuked her and tried to remember her how fatty she had been.
One night Lily was truing her dress which she had bought just a while ago. She liked to buy dresses. So, wearing it she came to her husband to show him. She was sure that he would praise her. But what he told made her upset. He said to her that that dress made her look fatter. He asked her how she could choose such a dress. And then her hell life began.
She had never been so happy as she used to be. Sadness was her only companion there. However, one day she was cooking dinner. It was the food they had often eaten for dinner. He came to her that time and started scolding his wife. He said that those foods were the reason for her being so fatty. He mentioned that she should not have eaten them. Lily didn't say anything for the day.
The next morning, they were having breakfast. They eat egg poaches and bread and toasts for the morning. She was eating so and Jack got angry with her. He reminded her that she was not slim enough to eat like the slim girls. He told her that she should be eating salads instead because it was so disgusting to look at her. Lily was so shocked by his attitude. She still thought he loved her. And she could not finish her breakfast that day.
He didn't even hide the fact that he was attracted to other girls. When Lily and Jack went in shopping, he hardly looked at her. His all attention was grabbed by the slim girls shopping there. He didn't care if his wife was with him or not. It seemed that she was nobody in his life. But Lily learned to put up with this.
And then he did something weird. He started hiding food from her. One day she opened the fridge for breakfast. But there was no food there except onion and carrot. So, she ate them. She made a coffee for her. And thought maybe Jack was right and he wanted what was best for her. She also thought to listen to him.
Soon she started going to the gym. She wanted to change for her husband. At first, it was os hard for her and she was about to give up. But the trainee in the gym cheered her up and praised her. He said to her, "Come on, pretty girl, you can do it." She did work out every day and ate only healthy foods. She ate salads only while her husband ate stake sitting on the same table.
In the morning she went in jogging. She started feeling really better and more energetic. She also got her results in her hands. Her weight was lost day by day and she was turning into a slim woman. And when she was perfectly slim, her husband noticed her. He was stunned by her figure but didn't gather the courage to come to her. He only looked at her and didn't say anything.
One afternoon she wore a beautiful dress and left the home alone. Her husband was there but she acted as if she didn't notice him. She didn't feel to inform him directly of her going out. But she enjoyed it as he looked tensed when she started to spend more time away from home.
She returned at night and sat with her phone. She didn't feel to show interest in talking with her husband. And when she browsed her phone, she stood near her and wanted to get her attention. But she tried to completely ignore him. At least acted to ignore him. But she felt that his attitude towards her changed. And she liked that.
Finally, he gathered courage and came to her one evening. He hugged her and she didn't stop him. She smiled instead. He said that he was going to an office party the next day. Then he asked her if she would go with him. She was so happy but said that he didn't want to introduce her to his colleagues.
He replied that she had not got it. He further added that he would not have her meet his friends because of the way she looked before and at least then he was not ashamed to show her to people. She was so shocked and escape herself from his touch. She started crying for the first time in her marriage. And it was for the last time too.
She thought he wanted the best for her. But he only cared about his image. She packed all of her stuff and left the house the next morning because she could not stay under the same roof with such a man any longer. She could understand everything and didn't let her husband show any further lame causes.
And she didn't only change her looks but her mindset too. She continued going to the gym and she did it for herself first. She and the trainee became good friends and then fell in love. She realized that the man who deserved to be with her was ready to accept her just as she was and in actual he was ready. He was ready to support her and help her overcome difficulties.
An interesting story and I wish many ladies can see this and read it. Such partners could cause so much trauma in a person's life but thank God Lily never saw reasons to stop even when she left him and appreciated her new self.
You know, I was once chubby but I got a lot of demeaning words from my ex and when I fell sick one day and because of that, reduced I still got a lot of people talking about how slim I am and this got me crazy that I warn people never to tell me that because I already know.
It is high time we never let people put us down and love ourselves for who we are as long as we know we are healthy.
