GivenUp0083 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 My GF dumped me almost 2 full months ago, been NC for most of that time, and I have to say it gets much easier with each week. Most importantly, I've lost 30 lbs working out. Instead of sitting at home missing her and crying myself to sleep every night, I went to the gym after work for 2 hours every day, and changed my eating habits slightly to include more protein and less fat....and wow. I don't mean to brag, but I look sexy with a shirt off! I don't think I've looked this good since college 7 years ago! Seriously, I had a beer belly which is completely gone, you can see my abs now and my obliques, my arms are well defined, and I'm 30 lbs lighter and that's all from lifting weights, no cardio! The 30 lbs of weight lost doesn't include how much fat I probably burned because I put on muscle weight as well. All this in 2 months. It's amazing what one can accomplish physically when you have the time and the motivation!
california15 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Its amazing what one can do when they take an active role in their moving-on journey instead of waiting around in sadness for the feeling to go away so they can be happy again.
radiodarcy Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 that's great to hear GivenUp! i was 60 pounds overweight for about 10 years before i started dating my ex. and while i maintained my workouts throughout, i really upped the ante when i went NC. i was not going to allow my being dumped as an excuse to get fat again. not only that, working out is a great way to release all the anger and frustration; it's a way of me working for ME instead of against me by holding everything in or hiding away from the world in bed. and it's also given me the confidence to further explore other interests i've either had or been interested in looking into.
Southofthebay Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Good post man! I just got dumped on my birthday, it sucked so much ass. Last night I made one more pathetic attempt to get her back. I realized there is no coming back, she's over me already. 5 years and she's over me in a week and a half? what does that tell me? I had it all wrong. It hurts like hell, and honestly I do want her back. But I know that is not going to ever happened, especially since her family is backing her up 100%. I felt really bad the initial week and a half, very dreadful. But last night I feel I had a slight epiphany. I mean, I needed to stop that "Bitchassness". Why am I sitting around here crying when this girl just told me that within a months time she might probably be with some one new. Today I woke up a bit earlier than normal. I decided to run a mile and do 80 sit-ups. It felt real good. It really sucks because I got a seperated shoulder so I can't weight lift, I feel like I'm being held back so bad.

I'm looking very good as well with my back, arms, and body in general ripped. I'm feeling great as well. I don't even miss my ex anymore.

I'm sorry but there should be a special place in hell for people who dump their SO's on their birthday, Valentines Day, etc.
Author GivenUp0083 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 I'm sorry but there should be a special place in hell for people who dump their SO's on their birthday, Valentines Day, etc. How about a place for those who break up with you right after a no hitter?
