revenge weight loss

handeye

revenge is a great weight loss motivator for me because it turns a negative energy into a positive one. after a difficult breakup, which by the end my ex had made me feel so unattractive and i lost so much self esteem, i decided to really get in shape and "show him". (he had made me feel bad because i gained 20 lbs) now i'm losing weight and eating right because it feels good to be healthy, and i'd love to get back to the athleticism i had back in the days when i was doing sports and dance. i've lost 6 pounds in the first week.

I agree, getting back at an ex is great motivation!

I actually wanted to get back at my Skinny "Friends" from high school. Quiet a few of them were very rude and didn't include me in things because i was the "big girl" of the group, so i used to think, I'll get back at them, when school finishes they'll put weight on, and i'll loose it and be looking fabulous. But that honestly was never enough motivation for me. Right now my motivation is MFP, looking at all the wonderful peoples progress gives me inspiration to keep going :happy:

i had a huge crush on a friend of mine for a loooong time, we fooled around a bit near the end of 2010 and he couldn't come to grips with the fact that he liked a "fat chick" so he told me never to speak to him again. i spent the next 3 months working my *kitten* off, lost 40lbs hahahah now i do it because i love it.

This is a bit off-topic, as it's not really revenge, but turning something negative to your advantage can be so much more powerful! I know that I feel more motivated to carry on when I'm feeling particularly fat or ugly!

Having said that, I'm LOVING the idea of revenge weight-loss! When I think back to the kids who bullied me at school and how big they are now... HA!

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, aka yo yo dieting.

My older brother is motivating factor to me. We're basically estranged, because he's got a level of toxicity I don't want in my life, but we occasionally run into each other at unavoidable family functions. All my life he has made fun of me for my weight, among other things. He's gained at least 150 pounds since graduating high school but still feels the need to mock and ridicule me for my weight. Last time we both ended up at the same function, I was avoiding/ignoring him, and he started making mooing noises to get my attention (we're both in our 30s, btw). When that didn't work, he called me a "fat f****** cow c***." I generally only see him once every two-three years, and next time I do, I want to be at least 50 pounds lighter than I am now. He'll still treat me like dirt, because that's what people who hate themselves do, but I'll be standing a little bit taller.

I don't know if it is something or someone I am necessarily in need of getting revenge on, I just use it to prove a point. During Christmas break last year I went home to see my husband's family. During this time a couple of admiring comments were said about my brother n laws girlfriend who is naturally built to be 5'10, 120lbs. I don't think anything was said to upset me personally, however it still hurt. After leaving I vowed to work my best to get myself healthy. I joined myfitnesspal and was able to lose 18lbs. I was doing so well and then my in laws came to visit us. More comments were said that again were not completely directed at me but still hurt my feelings. IE: Mother in law talking about her motivation for herself to get healthy because my brother in law's girlfriend is very healthy (she is a marathon runner), or when there was slight shock in her voice that I hadn't had chocolate in the last 35 days (gave it up for lent), etc. After they left I got depressed and said to hell with the diet for a few weeks. I gained about 7-9 lbs back. Since then I have been trying to turn it all around to motivate my self to county my calories, work out and eat as sensibly as I can. I am back down 3 lbs from the weight I gained back and am determined to keep it up! I can lose the remaining 5 lbs and many more!

I am going through the same thing. guys from my past would not want to date me because I am a big girl. but I am going to start back my weight loss and lose at least 150 lbs by September 16, 2016 (1 year). I lost 42 lbs lat year in 2014 and gained it back when I met my boyfriend Shamarus and we have been together for 11 months. but I still want to lose weight to show the past guys what they lost.
