I mean, they could have been rude and said the person would never be healthy and maybe this is the person’s way of being like: hey, I got healthy without you.
Even though I don’t agree with revenge bodies, I do see where you’re coming from.
From my situation, it will be about friendships because I have been insulted many times by my former friends that were males telling me that no man would want me if I’m this big. Too bad I’m not listening to their nonsense that I’m only doing this for myself.
Don’t forget there are feeders out there that would make you huge and not care about you or your health.
I’m not sure what to say. It’s good for you to move on from your ex and start being healthy, but it’s unhealthy to only start losing weight after a breakup. Stay healthy for yourself, not for anyone else.
Medium bump
I honestly think it’s a stupid concept. If you want to lose weight you should be doing it for you, not another person.
I agree. It’s just attention seeking if they do that! Also, people need to stop assuming that people only lose weight to impress someone.
There was this guy I liked before @ChaoticDeluge who told me he wanted to know me better, kissed me and then never spoke to me again.
Then just under two years later, he shows up to my mum’s wedding iN cYpRuS with his girlfriend, who wasn’t invited. Just to rub it in my face, I guess. I didn’t bring @ChaoticDeluge to Cyprus, even though I’d have more of a right, since it’s my mum’s wedding.
I feel like if I were to get a revenge body for anything, it would be to spite him. Because if he want’s to be petty, I can be petty too, beach
I didn’t get to go to Cyprus but his basic white girl did
Feelsbad
I’m so petty though. I kinda just wanna look great because I can show off, too
I mean, you never make me feel like I need to get fitter for worse or for worse
Hehehe
Cyprus is a beautiful country btw!
It’s really hard to get fit when you’re in a loving relationship. No petty feelings to work off at the gym, only a supportive partner who likes you no matter what. Ugh, I know what I sound like when I complain about it but sometimes I wish I could motivate myself to do kickboxing by imagining the face of an ex on a punching bag! Unfortunately I no longer care enough about them. Love feeling indifferent towards my exes, but spite is so much more motivating than unconditional love!
It really is! Deluge is all “I love you no matter what size you are”, which gives me warm fuzzy feelings, but warm and fuzzy just makes me wanna cuddle! Not work out!
Actually I get this too, I used to be ridiculously fit (But underweight) because my exes used to say they liked lean, muscular guys.
Now Shannii won’t let me get rid of my belly
To an extent, I get it.
I think a lot of us hope that when we run into our exes we look better than we did when we left them so it can be a kind of “look at what you lost” thing
But of course, losing weight/getting into shape for someone else isn’t healthy. But if it’s something you want to do for yourself and this is the push you needed then by all means
My bf and I go the gym together when we can and he trains me
Smart! My husband loves to run but I hate it. I like the gym but he hates it, so we’re not great workout buddies unfortunately. That reminds me, I need to find a gym where I live now!
I need me a gym boyfriend that’s if I can find that guy on Instagram or Twitter (the guy I danced with at the Neffex concert).
There are many other things that can motivate you to do something. Don’t do it because of an ex, do it for another reason.
A few things that could/ have worked for me are
•Doing it for someone who has passed away. I had a cousin who was always really supportive about me and my sisters swimming. He practically did sport through us because he was in a wheelchair his whole life, and when he died I kept thinking about him in a race that I did. My mindset was basically “I’m doing this for you.” And I went 53 seconds faster than I had previously
•a charity. If you’ve pledged to run a certain distance for a charity then you will probably put in more effort than if it were just for you.
I could go on but I made myself start crying so…
I find them ridiculous! Lose weight for yourself and for no one else.
Honestly I can kinda get understand why someone would do it, but I don’t think it’s a good thing cause I agree with this…
One of my close friends always gets a revenge body when her on-again-off-again boyfriend and her break up. She gets her exercise on with so much ease and she just tones up so quickly that I’m like “If it’s that easy for you to do it without him, why not just keep it up?”
It doesn’t really seem like revenge if he knows she’s just going to let herself go when they get back together anyway
