Wow, we dated the same bastard! Mine told me how unhealthy I was being so over weight. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life with someone unhealthy. Shoot, I didn't even have any comorbities then. Now I am the exact same person, just much smaller. He well......he is still the diabetic, who drinks more than he should. And smokes as well.

Now he wants me back, big time. I loved him then and sadly love him now. But my heart can't forgive such harsh words. Reality is, I was too good for him then and too good for him now.

Bittersweet...........

Why go after him? Why give him the knowledge of knowing you care enough to be angry, even if you do? Keep that to yourself. He doesn't deserve the gift of knowing what sway he held over you, and honestly, now that you'll be in a better place and feel and look better, you wouldn't settle for HIM would you?

The best revenge is to feel good, look good, choose well, and enjoy your life so much that he eventually fades from daily memory. He'll never fade completely (my bastard didn't) but the urge to come after him and show him "how I turned out" has long since passed. I don't care if he knows how I turned out. The reason why, is simple:

One day, sometime, somewhere, I'll turn a corner and walk down the street, and so will he. And we'll be coming toward one another face to face, and maybe he'll recognize me, maybe he won't. I hope he does, and a shock registers on his face when he sees that I'm not the "fat chick" he had to hide from his mother ("she wouldn't understand"), and, once I was NOT the fat chick ... I wasn't interested in coming after him or winning him back.

WLS wasn't for him, it was for me, and, I don't need to settle FOR HIM anymore. He'll realize that I improved everything in my life, and, his absence from my life is part of that improvement.

And so it will be for you.

Consider how delicious it would be for YOU to look up at a table in a bistro, with him saying "Jane... is that you?!" and you reply "John? My, I hardly recognized you. You've ... changed. Are you feeling alright or stressed or something?"

Leave him to wonder that the hell that means.

Then go back to your iced tea and forget about him.

You've got better things to do with your time and your revenge is simple: HAPPINESS.
