I sort of remember trying to loose 5 pounds so I could fit into a ridiculously small bikini when I was 14 so I could "get even" with a boy who dumped me...now i laugh at how serious it all was back then.

Revenge weight loss seems like a fruitless (and childish) waste of time.

Lol ! Definitely scratching my head !

Sure id like to look hotter now that I finally got rid of the nasty ex :) but I don't give a hoot if he sees me ...actually I hope he never darkens my door again .

I think every word of that show is untruthful.. it actually amazes me that people can live with that level of self deception. But really we all do it a lesser extent - therapy helps peel away those layers and live a better more authentic and happy life .

So....I didn't even want to click on your thread because of the title. The thought process of "revenge" almost anything makes me scratch my head.

I agree 100%.

HA!! Silly. I took a chance on your words, not on YOU.

Nice to meet you. :)

I have gradually realized you guys are talking about an actual television show! "Revenge Body," yet another bizarro Kardashian production.

Jeez Louise. For someone who hasn't thrown up since VSG surgery, I actually feel a little nauseated right now.

What a stoopid concept!

It's more the reasoning in general... not necessarily about the show specifically. The reality behind the phrase is for someone else. I think that's what bugs me the most!

I did that for me. But the "revenge part" is like icing on a cake.

I was always fabulous... But my weight was something some people used to put me down. Now - I am also skinny. It ****** them off.. I just smile.

I can't have a real cake with icing. So I take that. I did not have WLS of lose weight for revenge...But, as a side effect... I take it... with pleasure...
