    I'd love for my grandparents to see me happy and healthy.
    When they died I was 19 and 22....not happy or healthy. They were, and still are, my everything and I would love for them to see me as the strong, can do woman they raised.

  • my ex husband

    3 years ago he made fun of me being over 200lbs when we split up (a month after I'd had my daughter). He also said I wouldn't be able to support our daughter on my own, working some crap job for minimum wage.

    I'm low 170's now, and I put myself through nursing school. Graduated in Dec, working as a nurse now.

    HA!

    Although I see where you're going with this.. you should be doing this for yourself, not for someone else.

    The guy I had the BIGGEST crush on in college....he actually told me I wasn't his type cuz I wasn't thin and blond. Of course, later he pronounced that he's gay. I guess he didn't elaborate that the thin and blond dreamboat was a man. But still!!!!

    I'm still working on getting to that healthy stage. But when I do, I'll be strutting EVERYWHERE. I'll drive places just so people can look and be jealous. I might even unblock my ex so I'll pop up on his Facebook and he can see what he missed. The confidence and pride to be able to strut is a major motivation for me.

    Not really anyone from the past...especially since in the past I was a lot thinner and hotter...and younger...hahaha

    Soooooo, I'd just like to strut myself in front of my fiance's teammates in the summer!!!!!!!!

    His whole team is full of buff guys who are gym obsessed. Their girlfriends that I sit on the bench with are all super hot too...one was a brazillian model (she's a cougar now, but still a hot cougar), another is a fitness/bodybuilder model who wins tons of competitions, one is a personal trainer, and another plays competitive soccer....and then there is me...lol

    So, I'd like to show up in the summer looking SMOKING HOT when Baseball starts up and be able to sit confidently with all those ladies on the bench! LOL

    Yes, my old college bf. But the funny thing is my current bf and I went back to our college town for a football game last year and ran into his best friend. So it was the next best thing ; )

    Thank you, that is incredibly sweet :) Thanks to all of you that commented - I did this for myself and my daughter, not for him. Disproving him has been satisfying though :)
  • My ex bf and ex best friend; they've both gained weight since I had to remove them from my life haha. I strut it in front of my family everyday hoping they will catch the healthy fitness bug!

    When I get where I want, my ex. He should see what he threw away.
  • yes...me 5 years ago

    I agree with both of these comments. I never belived that I could come as far as I have. I wish that I would have realized my capablitilties earlier!

    as a full fledged man, let me apologize for our behavior. there is no reason why all of you lovely women should have ex's. we really are shallow and blind. it appears we lack judgement as well.

    you really are all beautiful :flowerforyou:

    These two mother****ers from 3rd grade. I probably shouldn't carry that with me for so long, but that was probably when getting picked on really stuck with me the most.

    Honestly...no one. I was a lot skinnier in my past but I gained weight from my first pregnancy for my baby. The only one I wanna show it off to is myself. Of course my hubs gets to reap the benifits too ;] I actually like that I have made impressions on friends/family to get healthy rather than change how they look. I will always embrace the me that was over weight because it made me who I am.
