The best revenge...

Is LOOKING GOOD AND LIVING WELL! Especially the looking good part. After dropping 280lbs of dead weight (the ex), I've lost an additional 70 of my own and I'm fitting into the same size jeans I wore in high school (not that I was super skinny or anything but still, it's an acomplishment). He's been throwing his new GF in my face for weeks, they got engaged this past weekend, and the last time I saw them, they deliberatly made out at my DD's little league game while I sat behind them. Anyway, my DD gets out of the car tonight and while her dad was in ear-shot she says "OMG MOM! You look SO THIN!". Meanwhile, his new GF is about 70lbs heavier than I am, sitting there rolling her eyes at me.
I know it's petty but he spent 10 years trying to make me feel like the lowest peice of crap on the earth. Now that I'm getting fit, I just want him to roll in it. As my favorite comic would say, "Suck it, baby!"
Cheers to all of us that manage to pull ourselves (and our asses) up after being beat down!

Good for you, Laura!

Laura,
I think that's great. And your absolutely right. The best revenge is looking good and living well. Im trying to do the same thing right now, loose weight. Ive always struggled with my weight and self esteem. I mean when we met I was heavy so its not like I balloned up (lol) after we got together. So he knew what he was getting into from the get go. But I know he knows how much I wanted to be smaller and with all the things Ive accomplished since we broke up thats the one thing Im still struggling with. Well Ive got news for him, that is the one goal I plan to keep if it kills me lol. That I know will kill him. He's so bitter right now its not even funny and he has a skinny, young gf.
I thinks he's sees that Im surviving without him and he never thought I'd be able to do it. So hugs to us. We rock. Keep going girl.
I am proud of you taking charge of your life. Hugs,Brenda

Tell me about it! The best revenge is living well! :) I'm proving it too. Here's a picture of me the day after we got engaged (in 2000, I was 20):

It's become a running joke w/ my friends that I'm supposed to be devasted about my husband meeting me at the door w/ his bags packed and divorce papers.
I laugh and say "I'm working on it."

You are absolutely right! Congratulations on the both weight lost. She didn't just have the 70lbs you lost but she also got the 280lb dead weight. The best revenge is living well.
I am still healing from my husband leaving me for an ex-friend of mine but I'm think I'm going to start seeing what he did as a blessing. Now I can finally treat myself the way I should be treated. This phase in our lives are definitely the time that we should use to get to know ourselves and learned to love ourselves the way we should.
Right there .... well ... almost! lol with you!
I gained 70# in the 8 yrs with him .... & was called every fat name in the book by him the past few years.
Bren, if it helps you - Ive lost almost 50#.
