Shoving Your Body In Their Faces

these are all awesome!

A year back, My ex-boyfriend dumped me for gaining weight after being put on medication for rectifying a hormone defect I had. He was really mean about it. He told me that he wouldn't introduce me to his parents or acknowledge me as his girlfriend if I won't lose weight. He also told me that I was too lazy to do anything about my weight because other girls my age would kill to look thin. I must say that at this point, I was starving myself and still not losing weight. My ex knew that I had a medical condition but made it a point to constantly tell me that I was taking it as an excuse and not doing anything about my body. Now that I look back, I can see that I sticked with him because I had zero self-esteem and needed his approval.

I was taken off medication about 2 months back and now, I have started losing weight quite nicely:happy: So, ever since I have started appearing leaner and prettier in my FB pics, I have been getting lots of compliments from my friends and *ahem ahem* mutual friends of my ex. Few days back, my ex started messaging me. It included "Dudette, You look different" "Have you lost weight" "I wish I could turn back time" "I wish we were together"....Long story short, Let's say that my ex is pissed because I have been turning him down ever since :laugh:

That's my favourite 'Shoving Your Body In Their Faces' Story :happy: :devil:

I got teased endlessly in high school - but some of those people have already seen me in various stages of my weight loss. Some, however, I'd love to see the looks on their faces when I show up at like... a 15 or 20 year reunion, looking positively amazing.

And all the guys that never gave me a chance because I was too heavy (you know the ones, it's the "friend zone" that guys do to girls!). I'm planning a Spring Break 2013 trip with some friends, and I can't wait to be on a beach in a bikini - standing next to 20-something girls, and looking just as attractive!

<accidentally posted twice>

I already got hit on by two of the boys who were flat out cruel to me since 3rd grade. I was so disgusted by one that I let him have it. 10 years of pent up rage and 6 classes on writing and speech culminated into this masterpiece:

"In the four years since high school I've gained a college degree, lost weight and go on to be a doctor. All you've managed to do is continue to be a shallow troglodyte with the intellectual dept of a kiddie pool. That must hurt to be so woefully inadequate in more ways than just what your girlfriend complained about in the girl's locker room."

Spiteful? Me? Never.

I don't generally have a list of folks, but it's always gratifying to tell my mom to back off on the weight comments - she's overweight and trying to lose, too, so it gets old, fast.

I would like to build more muscle tone and then run into my ex. He did a fabulous job of being emotionally and physically withholding, not to mention sabotaging any weight loss efforts I made. (Then again, that whole family needs a whole lotta therapy.) So it would be fun to show off the fact I can wear skinny jeans now, and in another few months, I'll have a bikini physique.

[Getting hit on is weird, though - I have never quite mastered how to respond to unwanted advances with anything more than flustered good manners. But that's a topic for another day.]

My ex's wife- he was horrible to me when I gained weight after our daughter was born- a few years after I left him he met her, she was the same size I was after having my daughter and she didn't have kids (she has $$$- my ex is very very shallow) she commented once at one of my daughters school programs that she would never let herself gain and keep on weight when she got preg- two kids later and she gained weight and kept it on- i gained more weight with and after my second child so we were still about the same size- she would constantly say snide things to my daughter about my weight and how I looked- it's only been 16 pounds but everyone has noticed- including my ex!!!!! And best of all- he asked me to share my "secret" weight loss tips with his wife. I don't really care how what anyone thinks of me or how they see me BUT every 2 weeks seeing the look on her face is great- a week ago was THE best my daughter made a HUGE HUGE deal of me needing to buy new smaller jeans. I know I know I am so not nice.

There is no one I would want to do this to, but no one has ever been unkind to me because of my weight.

Once again, I will quote The Buddha: "Holding onto anger is like picking up a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who gets burned."

I understand that these people have hurt you, but taking the high road and being the better person always makes me feel better than being smug or petty.

This X 1 million. While I have been teased about various things most of my life, I have zero interest in revenge. Revenge is not something that is part of my mindset. I'm not like the people who teased me, and I'm quite happy about that.

Being an a**hole today to people who were mean to you yesterday only shows that you were an a**hole before you lost weight. Now you're just showing it.


Let's be honest, we all have been teased, slighted, marginalized, etc. How we deal with it when we're no longer in that state reveals more about our character than we care to let on.
