For the last 7 years I have been too ashamed of my weight to go anywhere in my hometown where someone from highschool would recognize me..

Which wasnt a problem because I moved to Florida for several years..but I have been back in NJ now for 2 and a half years, avoiding restaurants, bars, stores where I would surely have a run in..
Pathetic, huh? Yes, it really depressed me.

Well a friend who I used to date was offering Philies tickets online, which I really wanted since the beginning of the season so my bestie and I could go..

In the past I would have 100% never dared to get the tickets because that meant I would have to see him..

But I said f*ck it and went and got those darn tickets-

This is HUGE for me. I am no longer hiding. In fact I put on a cute outfit and pair of heels and walked in to meet him like I owned the place.

I feel soo FREE 75lbs lighter, mentally and physically.

Amusingly, he offered for us to go to Vegas and get married during lunch...Ha! Sucker.

My value is not based on how others perceive me BUT I was ashamed of the way I looked, that my loss of control over food was proof by my appearance and everyone could see it.

AND he said to me, "You are one sassy girl!" and kept calling me Sassy...That's right, say my name!!! I AM Sassy!

I hope you swung your hips a little, too!
The best revenge of a failed relationship is looking so damn happy and confident, it makes the guy know he f'd up when he lost you!!
And all of us here that love you know the guy screwed up bad!!
