Broken heart success stories?

PrincessMel72

YES! Was in a majorly abusive marriage and when I finally was able to get out after 7 long years, I began creating a new life for myself. I started eating less (well, because I didn't have a lot of money to spend on food), stopped drinking so much (he liked to keep me intoxicated so that when I woke up with bruises or a black eye he could tell me that I fell because I was so drunk) and got myself back out there meeting people. I successfully lost over 100lbs in 18 months, met and fell in love with the man of my dreams and have now been happily married almost 5 yrs!

I'll admit, I have trust issues since my former fiance cheated on me. After I broke that off, I realized I wasn't actually in love with him. I'm 37 years old and was only head over heels in love once (high school boyfriend). And that relationship ended on a good note. We are still friends to this day. Have I been into people and they blow me off, yes. Happened just last year. I was a bit hurt when he basically "ghosted" me. But that action alone helped me heal. Who over the age of 25 "ghosts"? I find it childish.

yea i lost over 100 pounds

still broken hearted but its fading into a dull "u will be alone forever just accept it" thing now

When you are ready to thrive alone is when you are truly ready for a relationship I found love in the last place I expected it, and in a person I never would have imagined, but it's perfect.

wellthenwhat

My heartbreak didn't really affect my diet or exercise at all. Just my view on life

Currently going through it and so far I'm the fitness is going great, I'm in the best shape I've ever been lol, I don't know if it will stick but it's been 3-4 months.

Honestly it didn't start as a plan to show her what's she's missing, or to win her back, I just didn't have an appetite and wasn't sleeping hardly any. I needed to fill my time with something positive to keep busy, plus I thought if I was physically tired enough I would actually be able to get some sleep. Then once I started seeing results it snowballed and I want to see how much further I can go.
