    Yes! Heartbreak provided me with enough rage to lose 2 inches off of my waist and one off of each thigh. The anger phase gives me the most motivation.

    Has anyone used heartbreak as motivation to change your life and feel better about yourself?
    I've already started changing my life, but now that my heart just got broken I just don't feel like doing anything...
    I've heard of people who have used break ups as a way to motivate themselves to change, and was wondering if anyone else did that?

    Definitely! That's what I am doing right now, I am using the anger and heartache I have to push myself harder than ever before so that when I move on and leave him behind, I know hell be the one crying!

    It's strange....several years ago heartbreak led me to lose 70 lbs. Fast forward to my current relationship with my awesome, loving husband..........I am again overweight, however I can't get my *kitten* in gear to lose the weight for him or myself. He loves me and doesn't care (except for my health), but I'd love to be his arm candy. I'd love to feel better than I do for myself.
    It bugs me I got in awesome shape after the creep, but I can't do it for my health or relationship now.
