bluewolf17 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Let's try and go in a positive direction. What have you done lately that you are proud of? Either in moving on, or in life in general. I will start Yesterday was the Ex's birthday. We have been NC for nine days now. It would have been more like 3 weeks NC, except for him calling at work and just "checking in". I don't want to Yo Yo or be kept on a string any longer. I successfully stayed NC throughout his birthday. For six years we have been broken up, we always saw eachother, had dinner, sent flowers, etc on eachothers birthday. But this year I decided to be done with leaving eachother on the back burner. What makes you feel good?
Mack05 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I weighed myself last Friday and normally totally dread it but this time I was excited. It turns out I lost 32 pounds since December. I have no excess 'fat' anymore or love handles. The hard training and healthy eating have really made me ripped. More then I could ever dream of. Last night I got asked on a date by a really cute 24 year old. I am 37! (she didn't know my age)..My confidence has risen through the roof. I have a healthy brown tan and I am making new friends by the day as the real me comes back (moved to the Algarve in Portugal). In work I am really upping my game lately. I am at complete peace with myself. After my last breakup I have gained acceptance that we were never right for each other. No matter how desperately I wanted it, we would never have worked. While I tried to get her back, I didn't beg and plead when she left (something I didn't manage in the relationship before that). I kept my dignity and class when she was saying hurtful things about me, when it would have been easier to give her some harsh truths. I rose above her behaviour and proved something to myself.. I love life for the first time in 12 years..I'm going to stay here for good. The Mack is back..
Author bluewolf17 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Great for you, Mac! Sounds like you are doing well! I can't help but thing of that mid nineties song "return of the mack" when I read your post. If you don't know it, google it.
Numb79 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I am proud of the fact that this Sunday will be 6 weeks of NC. What makes it even sweeter is that I have a broken foot!! Which means I was unable to keep myself physically busy for about a month now. I have sat around healing my foot and faced all the emotions of the break up. I feel as if I am in a better place..... even if its just for the moment!!
