    replace revenge with self-respect. You can do this.

    Doing something to get back at someone is very negative. You don’t want them to keep affecting you, do you?

    Do it for yourself. Positive attitude lead to happiness.

    Before you actually take any steps to lose weight, take some photos of yourself, and keep them somewhere ‘out of sight’.

    If you’re making gradual improvements to your own physique, it’s hard to notice the day-by-day changes.

    Once you’ve been some time on your journey, and are getting down because you don’t seem to be ‘looking any better’ check in on those old photos and you’ll see how far you’ve really come.

    replace getting back at them and doing it for that, instead doing it for yourself and it being for thyself. don’t worry it’ll shift in time and it’ll be just for your growth best of lucks and sorry that you know that pain but you’ll be stronger

    The best revenge is to move on. Build a wonderful life and never think about them again.

    You should have lost weight for them before they dumped you so you don’t have to be so negative and vengeful.

    Why would you want to give them more energy and live rent free in YOUR MIND! They won’t care, won’t feel hurt back if you lose weight. It won’t change your hurt, you need to deal with that and be healthy mentally and then physically for yourself.

    If it’s not for you, you’ll fail and feel even worse about yourself. Seen it so many times. Losing weight and keeping it off never works as revenge like long-term and bouncing up and down is awful for your metabolism.

    You already lost the weight of someone who wasn’t for you.

    Don’t try to “get back at them”. Most times it doesn’t work, and you just end up worrying about revenge more than moving on with your life. If it’s revenge you truly want, then showing them how happy you are without them will work way better (especially if it’s a woman you’re trying to get back at)

    Frida Kahlo to Marty McConnell
    by Marty McConnell

    leaving is not enough; you must

    stay gone. train your heart

    like a dog. change the locks

    even on the house he’s never

    visited. you lucky, lucky girl.

    you have an apartment

    just your size. a bathtub

    full of tea. a heart the size

    of Arizona, but not nearly

    so arid. don’t wish away

    your cracked past, your

    crooked toes, your problems

    are papier mache puppets

    you made or bought because the vendor

    at the market was so compelling you just

    had to have them. you had to have him.

    and you did. and now you pull down

    the bridge between your houses.

    you make him call before

    he visits. you take a lover

    for granted, you take

    a lover who looks at you

    like maybe you are magic. make

    the first bottle you consume

    in this place a relic. place it

    on whatever altar you fashion

    with a knife and five cranberries.

    don’t lose too much weight.

    stupid girls are always trying

    to disappear as revenge. and you

    are not stupid.

    you loved a man

    with more hands than a parade

    of beggars, and here you stand. heart

    like a four-poster bed. heart like a canvas.

    heart leaking something so strong

    they can smell it in the street.

    You need to mend your heart, not get revenge. If you want to lose weight, do it for yourself, not for some loser. I hope you find happy in your life again.

  25. dohbriste Avatar

    Anything you do from here on out, do it for you, not for anyone else, especially not whomever broke your heart. You didn’t lose them, they did you a favor by making room for you to find someone right for you. If you direct your energy at someone in your rear view mirror, you’re not using it to look at where you’re going next, and that’s not the way to respect yourself or your future. Don’t waste energy on the wrong person; spend it on yourself! Good luck OP.

    diet change

    quick dirty way

    take your current weight and multiply by 10

    ie: 200lbs x 10 = calories so 2000 calories

    you want to lose weight ?

    Subtract 200-500 calories (500 being the most drastic )

    so 2000- 300= 1700

    that’s how many calories per day you are allowed. do that and it will drop you to 170lbs.

    If you wanted to bulk

    200lbs x 10= 2000

    bulk +300-500

    2500 calories worry about that later

    Also when you get more advanced (been lifting 20+years )

    you can do it off 3 numbers

    protein
    carbs
    fat

    For me

    210g protein
    300 g carb
    60g of fat

    done

    weight lighting regiment

    3-5x week

    Mon Wed Friday push days

    military press , bench press and another favorite of your chosing (squat maybe )

    Thurs Sat pull days

    row , deadlift

    5 sets I like to go volume so id go about 12-15 per..look into push pull routine

    quick response hope it helped

    PS: Diet is absolutely the most important thing to losing weight – id say 80% diet, 15% training and 5% steroids or insert fav “supplement here”

  30. Financial_Cry28 Avatar

    Eat 1500 a day while getting plenty of low intensity activity like walking. It will melt right off. You have to use a scale for your food and a calorie tracking app, I would also recommend whey protein and collagen peptide shakes. You have to let yourself be hungry. So many people today act like hunger is going to kill them. But it is so important for hormone regulation. You should also do light weight training for full body to help with loose skin. Just take it easy with a deficit that big, muscles can’t recover the same. After you get near your target weight increase calories with sources of protein and increase weights to get the shape you want.

    The ultimate best way to get revenge is to work on yourself, become the very best you possible, and COMPLETELY IGNORE him forever.

  33. BraveWarrior-55 Avatar

    First, you should plan get fit for YOURSELF. If it also fulfills a revenge of sorts, fine. But do it for you. Start with eliminating the worst offenders in your diet (soda, sugar, alcohol) and taking at least a 30 minute walk each day, briskly. Once you see success with this, move on to more strenuous exercise and a deeper overhaul of your food intake. Never deprive yourself though. If you need a piece of chocolate, eat it. Just don’t eat the whole bar!

    Get a pair of roller blades. They’ll have you using muscles you don’t normally use and doing cardio at the same time. Plus, it’s fun to glide around and have a low impact on your joints. Helped my sister immensely after she couldn’t lose her pregnancy weight for almost 5 years.

    And I’ll echo what someone said above, do it for you and your health. For your self-esteem. Not to show some bone head how wrong they are. You’re worth the effort. They are not.

  40. LordMegatron11 Avatar

    Work on yourself mentally. Get yourself to a more positive mental state. Then work on your diet. More protein and vegetables, less carbs, and sugar. Drink water instead of soda, tea, and lemonade. Finally, after you get these started, try being more active. Simply taking walks and eating healthy will make your body healthier.
    Edit for clarity. Focus less on low calory diets and more on what you are putting in your body.

    “to get back at them” well that’s the first thing to focus on. Don’t pin any happiness on such a thing.

    Do it for yourself and you’ll end up looking AND feeling better. Burning them is a by-product of your success, not the focus.

  46. Soft_Enthusiasm7584 Avatar
    1. Take photos, record your weight, and take measurements of your upper arms, bust, waist, hip, each thigh
    2. Set a goal weight or size. (I go for size because If I lose too much weight, I look sickly)
    3. Set a sustainable plan to include a healthy diet, daily exercise, and self-care. Make sure your workout includes weightlifting. If you can afford it, join crossfit. When creating meals, focus on proteins, carbs, veggies, and fruit. In that order. Drink water, hydration packs, and protein shakes
    4. Allow yourself to make mistakes

    Good Luck!

    Do it for yourself, not for revenge and you’ll have better results.
    Hit the gym go for long walks, start jogging. Try hot yoga. Kickboxing is a good one for stress, discipline, burning calories, and toning up.

  48. Distinct_Lifeguard77 Avatar

    You gotta do it for yourself. But if you want to “get back at them” I think the healthiest best revenge is loving yourself. Pour all the love that you gave to them back in to you. You will naturally glow and sometimes ppl do not like to see that you’re happy on your own & that you love yourself.

    Cut all refined sugar, walk half an hour daily and visualise yourself standing on the scales at your goal weight. Worked for me 115kg to 84kg. Add in other practices as you go.

    If you’re going to lose weight, do it because it’ll make you healthier, not because it’s some party of your revenge tour. Whoever broke your heart shouldn’t be living in your mind rent free.

    How is losing weight gonna get back at them? Wouldn’t the best thing to get back at them is to move on and be happy without them?

    You need to understand that they don’t care. If they cared they wouldn’t break your heart. So just maybe, let them go rather than making the next year or so about them too.

    I lost 40lbs in less than 5 months by eating less calories than I was burning and fasting from 6pm-12pm every single day.

    There is likely emotional trauma to unpack here with self-image. Please prioritize yourself and work on finding happiness from within and your next chapter.
