"Don't lose your confidence if you slip, Be grateful for a pleasant trip, And pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again."
Okay, so the trip wasn't a pleasant one. But it sounds like you're meeting this latest reversal with a good, strong attitude. Working to improve yourself is a good idea -- as long as you're doing it for yourself, to make YOU feel good, rather than to please some unappeasable jerk.
The summer before the Ferrety One and I reconnected and started going together, she had gone to Washington D.C. to visit a guy she was somewhat interested in. It was a fun and entertaining trip, she says, but any interest she had in the guy was crushed the moment he said, "Y'know, you'd be a nice girl if only you lost a little weight." Thing was, she already HAD lost about twenty or so pounds that summer. Oops.
Shortly after that she looked me up. The rest is history. Or perhaps science fiction.

You are one of the most awesome people I know, and he's a complete and utter dick for not realising that!
