Age is no excuse.

Great job!! I actually have a judo sensei that is 77 years old and is in better shape than I am!

Age is my excuse and so is womanhood. If, before I reach goal, I run into my ex who I know also got fat thanks to FB. I will say "wow, I had a kid, 3 surgeries and am 7 years older than you....what's your excuse?"

That's my fantasy involving my ex.

I have an exhusband of 22 tortured years, who I hated for 30 years. Yep, I hated him even during our marriage. I wasn't until I became a Christian that I realized that 'the weight' of that hatred was a burden on me...not on himself. On the day that I let that anger go, I feel lighter. Now, all I can do is pity him. His life is more miserable that I would have wished on him, and he put it on him.

What will do you the most good is to change you fantasy. Think of him approaching you and saying, "You look great." Then, you say, "Thanks. So do you." Then, you walk away, while he realizes that he lost the best thing that he ever had.

He'd never say that, he'd slink away in shame because he knows he did some terrible things to me, and that my hubby can annihilate him in a hot second and legally come out smelling like a rose.:flowerforyou: Sorry he did unforgivable things and I actually get a little pleasure out of hating him, and I'm not uncomfortable with that at all. Some people in this world deserve wrath and he is one of them. I already did the forgive thing with other people in my life, but this one is in a class by himself.

On a side note I love your profile pic! I was scheming to get a photographer to surprise my hubby in our home to take pic's of us here since he's kind of private and I want him in his uniform which I know he won't put on at any studio or wear in public. Now I'm gonna ask her to make sure one of the pics is a shot of me holding his face against my chest.

Unforgiveable? Some folks (including myself at one time) would have said that my ex was unforgivable. I can only imagine what you went through, and I won't list the horrible things that my ex did. Let's just say that several people wanted to kill him. One person even volunteered to kill him for me, because they thought the world would be better off without him. I even thought about killing him myself. I considered a life time in prison worth it...at the time.

Yeah. I know how bad it can be. That why it took me so long to surrender the anger...the wrath. I spent 30 years fantasizing about his death in a fiery car wreck...that was a daily thing. After our divorce, I managed to tell everyone I met how much I hated my exhusband...and I mean everyone...and with all the details of his sins against me and our children. 10 years after our divorce, he was still my favorite topic. He was STILL a part of my life, by my own choice.

When I was finally able to forgive him, I could finally get my life back.

We were sitting for a portrait on our honeymoon cruise to Alaska, when Ed turned suddenly and grabbed me, which made me laugh. The photographer caught the impromptu shot, and it became my favorite photo of us both.
