my gf and i broke up in feb 2011. we were together for 1.5 years and i was devastated. i used to come on this site 25 times a day looking for a glimmer of hope in a second chance story. this went on until about setptember of 2011. i was drinking tons, doing blow, and dating a girl i didnt really like to cope. i gained about 25 lbs and got up to 275. im 6'1" (a big dude for as long as i can remember). then one day i woke up and said i need to get it together, i had hit rock bottom.

 

i took all that negative energy, and turned into something positive. i started to eat healthy, drink alot less and run everyday. it was tough at first, but i did it, day in and day out. it gave me something to focus on. fast forward to now... i am an avid runner and lost 100lbs. im 6'1" 180, and happier than ever. i date many women and really enjoy myself. the best part is i saw my ex a couple months ago at a bar and she was shocked by my transformation. i talked to her for a min and said i had to go. she texted me like 20 mins later asking where i went etc. i jsut ignored it and it felt great.

 

moral of the story. what ppl say on here is right. in time it all fades, and you need to focus on yourself. i fought this for a long time and just focused on getting her back. its something you need to do when it feels right for you. but you guys will all get there. and the sooner you start the better. it took me 6 months of pity, hopefully it takes you guys less.

 

i jsut wanted to share this story and hope it inspires someone. this site helped me alot, but it was something i had to do on my own. keep strong, it all works out in the end.
