My kids have been in San Diego with their Dad since last Saturday and they won't be home until Sunday. Plus, I'm getting over a really hard breakup. I have never felt so lonely in my life. So, I'm spending every spare minute in the gym doing spinning, yoga, weights, you name it. I've lost the last 5 pounds and I'm now at my goal. It's driving xbf (who I work with) absolutely nuts - I love it! Yesterday I wore a mini skirt and tight shirt with my wonder bra (I'm lacking in that department - LOL) to work. I know, completely inappropriate, but a girl's entitled, isn't she? I've also been sweet as pie to exbf and I've even told him that I'm ready to start dating again. I don't know if he cares, but it feels so good to let go of that power he had on me. Plus, there's this really cute guy in one of my spinning classes that has started paying attention to me. I have no intention of dating anyone, but after being ignored for the 8 months xbf and I were together, it feels good to be noticed again.
Okay, so am I just the most petty person in here? Does anyone else have any post-breakup stories to share that made you get over that hump?

Yeah, it's petty, and heck, yeah, I think we've all done it. I sure as heck know I have!
It's awesome that you've worked so hard, and what's even more awesome is that you've done it for you. If you have do desire to date, that's okay, but I think when you do, you'll be even more attractive, not because you've lost wieght, or gotten in shape, but because you're more confident. That's what's attractive, no matter what your shape or size.
Good for you, and way to go!
When I lost a lot of weight after my last breakup about a year ago, I felt exactly the same way. It wasn't about anything but my feelings and healing, but it sure as heck felt great the first time a guy hit on me, even though I had no intention in going any further than that! Now, I've learned to flirt, and have dated casually, and soon I may even have another boyfriend, although I'm in no rush.

Yeah, it might be petty, but you deserve to feel good after how he treated you! You are doing a good job getting your life back on track! Your activities are alot better than what I did when I first divorced. (drinking, smoking and hitting some bars! LOL!)
Uh, what is spinning? Is that like spinning wool with a spinning wheel?

I think that you are doing the best you can with the situation - to get out of the house and do something for you. Working out is good - sounds like you will be in great shape.
Usually what I do is the same - to make a big effort to keep busy - and to try to see why the breakup was good. And to have faith that a better one is coming along!
Keep us posted on your week. I know it is hard since you have to see him every day.
