I can't tell if you're a guy or a girl. Most men are attracted to physical beauty and learn to love the woman inside. Most women are in love with the inner person and don't care about the looks as much. Theses are generalizations but I feel they are pretty dead on. I would expect that comment from a man but not as much from a woman.

I'd like to say one thing here, the person was being truthful with you. They were more attracted to you when you were thinner, there's nothing wrong with that. You shouldn't base your self esteem on your partners opinion anyhow, that comes from within. Now, the key is you need to lose weight, period. If you maintain this weight you will have health problems, forget beauty, forget everything else. Do you want to live a long, healthy, enjoyable life or do you want to be to be in a wheel chair or have limbs amputated from diabetes when you get older? Your choice....
