I occasionaly see this on teh forum. There are some posts where women talk about very unhappy relationships and how they will improve once weight is lost. Being thinner doesn't mean someone who has treated you with disrespect will suddenly treat you better.

What it could mean is you have the confidence to get out of the relation ship and find someone who will treat you with kindness and respect. There are some relationships where the other person is very insecure though and that is why they belittle the person. Sometiems when that person makes great self improvements such as weight loss or education, the insecure one will be the one to leave.
