simpsonic Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 - Been exercising more (done some cardio and have gone running a few times). When I was in my relationship we spent a lot of time on the couch. It feels so much better getting my body moving! - Eating better again; before I met my ex, I was eating pretty well. When we got together I fell off the wagon a little. Now I'm back on track. - Been reconnecting with some friends that I didn't have many chances to spend with during my relationship. - I'm more inclined to meet new people. Not quite ready to date again yet, but I think after I return from my trip overseas later this summer, I will more likely be ready. As of right now, as I said, I'm open to doing a variety of things with new people. I'd love to hear how your breakups have made a positive impact on you! 8
january2011 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Well done on your achievements so far! I also did something similar after my breakup - it really helps to focus on yourself and making sure you're fit and healthy. And meeting new people is great for putting you into new situations and to remind you that life still goes on.

Mr Scorpio Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I also started eating a much healthier diet. My ex considered a box of stuffing to be a meal. Beyond that, the breakup made me realize that I needed to get in gear career wise, so now I'm in law school.

This is the beauty of waking up after a breakup. Especially if it becomes and unhealthy dependency one. I'm in the same place right now, I'm looking and feeling better than ever and the confidence is following right behind me. There's nothing you can't do once you heal from this.
someone12341 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 this break up might have been the best thing that ever happened to me started eating right loosing wieght, getting out more quit my addictions, realized there is more to life then trying to please someone else always tell my self im the only one that can make me happy wake up less miserable sure i miss her but i am far better off without her constant complaining, about everything and nothing, made her happy for awhile then she turned into a person that it was all about her at the end of our relationship she stopped caring for me and was more worried about her friends
Sophie99 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Well done for everything you have achieved! I did similar after my breakup... -My ex and too spent a lot of time sitting around, I had never been one for exercise anyhow. But hey, I'm running regularly now and am doing a half marathon at the end of the year! -I have become closer with some friends who I never had much time for before (sounds bad, I know, but we all get consumed by a relationship sometimes). -Learnt some valuable lessons about love and life for the future me. -I have become closer to my faith. The last one has become the most important to me.
favoritepills Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Great idea for a thread! He and I were total couch potatoes, so it was good to finally get my butt moving again. I go for long walks now, love the endorphin high. I'm lucky enough to live close to the Potomac River, so lately I've discovered these gorgeous riverside walking trails which I never would have found when I was with him. I now finally have the time to start therapy (need to work out issues stemming from my dysfunctional family), which is good.
