Revenge Weight Loss....

My ex's didn't break up with me because I was overweight. We split for a number of reasons - my weight having nothing to do with it. But even if it did, it would never be the reason I'd want to lose weight. Why would I want someone back in my life who didn't love me for me?

The flip side of this is hey...whatever it takes to motivate you to be a better you - go for it.

I think this would definitely be a bonus!

I wont lie, being a sexy little young thing in front of my husbands ex wife thrills the crap out of me.

Im doing this for me firstly, and for my boyfriend secondly who really always tells me I look sexy but is attracted to me even more so when Im fit because I was totally ripped when we first started dating

BUT revenge is SWEEEEEET Im guilty of looking forward to a friends going-away party at the end of March, which my ex and his new squeeze will be at. (BTW, my name is Niamh aaaand guess what his new girlfriends name is...lol. Niamh! HEHE)

It still bothers me that he said some pretty ****ty stuff about me when we broke up, told people I was a waste of space, had no prospects in life and would end up unhappy and he couldnt wait to rub it in my face. I just would like to make it clear that the joke is on him now!

He will see that I have an awesome bod, my own business, and madly in love with my boyfriend and our little family we have made for ourselves! Ive never been happier

I think that it is a stupid reason to lose weight. I rather lose weight for myself and be healthy. I read somewhere that someone posted on their profile their sole reason for weight loss was to make their BF's ex more jealous then she already was. But how does she know that person is jealous. Maybe the person losing weight has self-esteem issues and is having problems with her BF and cannot admit it so cast the blame on someone else. I just think revenge weight loss is stupid. But that is my opinion.

I don't think it's stupid because it's a motivating factor. Whoever has different motives for starting their weightloss journey isn't dumb. It's a good thing because after you start losing the weight it does become less about your original motive and more about yourself. Whatever starts you off is great!

PS. I have done this before but my current journey to health and fitness is for me. I'm living alone and mostly independent so it's nice that that isn't my motive anymore.

if it the motivation you need to get healthy i say go for it. Personally for me I hate my exes and i would feel like im doing it for them and not for my self. Just my 2cents but like I said if that what you like then go for it.

I'm totally in this for me (all the countless reasons), but on the days when I'm tired and don't want to care it's a good reminder to think of how everyone else will perceive me when I'm done. Particularly my (soon-to-be) ex; I kept trying to get him to go to the gym with me, to help him feel better but he just wouldn't have any of it. Some days it's easier to push through the pain when you think of that sweet revenge.

I dated a Florida Gator cheerleader when I lived in Florida years ago. Not facebook friends but, I've made it a point to send a message a couple of times to check on her family and such and I make sure my profile pic depicts my healthier side....and for the record, damn she's packed on the pounds!!! lol

My favourite thing is randomly seeing that my emotionally abusive ex has put on a ton of weight (he has moobs now!), and even though I put on weight after we broke up, I've lost most of it since he last saw me! It's an awesome feeling, I'm not going to lie!

It was never a factor but it was sweet when he asked me what I was doing so he could tell his gf.

I wish I could rub it in the face of my high school bullies.
