Medical student dumped for being 'too chubby' becomes professional bodybuilder (and now his unfaithful ex wants him back!)
A trainee doctor who was dumped by his ex-bish-girlfriend for being 'too chubby' has become a professional bodybuilder.
Jack Darby, 23, from Wolverhampton, was made to feel ashamed of his rounded 14.5 stone build and decided getting into shape was the best revenge.
The medical student at Leicester University has spent the last 18 months bodybuilding to achieve his muscular physique - and can now lift one and a half times his own body weight.
'I've been walking around campus and have definitely noticed girls looking my way,' he said.
'Before, I was pale and podgy and I felt uncomfortable taking my top off, but now I'll happily walk around naked.'
Four years ago Jack, who is 5ft 11in, felt embarrassed taking off his shirt in public, and was worried that his rounded belly and love handles were a turn off.
He regularly ate fast food and developed a beer belly after boozy nights out.
Happily loved up with his long-term girlfriend, Jack, then 19, became uncomfortable when her eye began wandering to other men with toned physiques.
'She never told me I was fat, but she kept dropping hints about going to the gym and I noticed her looking down at my gut,' he said.
'She seemed really put off by it and we became less intimate.
'We'd be sat drinking in a pub and I'd see her eyes following fit, muscly guys. She'd also swoon over men on the TV saying, "You could be like that if you wanted to be".'
But things were going to get worse: while Jack was hard at work studying for medical exams, his girlfriend was cheating with another man.
Jack discovered her infidelity when he found private messages on Facebook detailing their intimate encounters.
But after confronting her about it, she still continued to deny the allegations.
'A mutual friend told me she'd cheated and I was heartbroken,' he said.
'The messages were so horrible to read and I could tell she was lying - she blushed when his name was mentioned.'
Depressed and stressed, Jack began over-eating to deal with the break-up and put on over half a stone in weight.
Looking down at his sagging belly, he was determined things could change and started doing weight training in his room.
After six months of pumping iron and doing cardio at the university gym Jack transformed his average midriff into a ripped set of abs.
He was so proud of his sculpted new body that he decided to take it further and began bodybuilding.
'I knew I was shaping up and my friends were amazed,' said Jack, who now boasts just six per cent body fat.
'I'd been watching all these videos of bodybuilders and fitness models on YouTube and decided I wanted to be just like them. My friends laughed at me, but I knew I could do it.'
Instead of scoffing on junk food, Jack cut out the carbohydrates and began training every morning before going to work at Leicester Hospital.
'All I wanted was to get rid of my tummy at first, but it's become so much more than that,' he said.
'Girls who usually wouldn't even look at me are all over me now. I even got a message from my ex trying to get back together.'
Soon, Jack will be working as a full-time doctor, but he also hopes to become a personal trainer in his spare time. He has lost three stone of fat and replaced it with pure, raw muscle. He now weighs in at 14 stone.
On the hospital wards, people even compare Jack to muscly Dr Christian Jessen from TV's Embarrassing Bodies.
'It's so flattering being compared to Dr Christian,' he said.
'He has a great body and with my bleached blond hair and tight shirts, I can understand the resemblance.'
This May, he will enter his first major body-building competition at the Body Power Festival, the UK's biggest fitness convention and he's also looking for love.
'When I told people I was going to become a bodybuilder they'd laugh in my face. Now I hope I can meet a nice, intelligent girl who's into fitness like me,' he said.
'My ex left me feeling like half a man...but now at least I'm a muscly one.'

Good on him
"So there I am sitting in the waiting area of the hair salon with my niece and Keanu Reeves walks in. I was nervous as ****, but too scared to say anything to him. Then my niece started crying, and I’m trying to quiet her down because I don't want to bother him. Pretty soon he walks over and asks what's wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry. He put down his magazine, picked up my niece, and lifted up his shirt, and breastfed her right there in the salon. Chill guy, really nice about it."

Inb4 I'm nagged for this but if my fit girlfriend started falling out of shape my eyes would wonder ttoo.Im not saying she should have cheated, she probably really did like his personality, but physical attraction is a very real thing. If I'm not physically attracted to you, I'm not going to want to fuk you.
EDIT: she was also dropping hints about his weight, trying to get him to change. Meh
How many threads have you seen on this site about people trying to get their lovers to workout...=/Last edited by apolloman; 01-09-2014 at 10:51 AM.
To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, because without it - who are you?

She was right to be concerned he was getting fat. Fat people rarely stay stable, They tend to just keep getting fatter and fatter because they eat more than they maintain on every day. He's gone from one unhealthy extreme to another using celltech.
Still, he's going to be a doctor so he wins.
edit: He looked like a natural lifter in the beach pic.RIP mainsqueeze530
