hero Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Just wondering what some of you guys and gals have done since your break-up that you're very proud of. Whether its finishing school, getting a promotion at work, losing weight, etc. For me it was losing a grand total of 40 lbs (the healthy way) ever since I had my heart shattered into pieces. Its been 5 months since my BU of 7 years and within that time I've gone from 220 lbs to 180 lbs and it feels great Definitely a confidence booster! So lets hear it people. What are you most proud of doing since your BU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Seeker Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 My first break was in late June or early July. My first breakup was in July. This is going to be a long list so bare with me. - Workoutholic - Got my a part-time job. - Got myself a car. - Having fun in my senior year in college. - Dating - Learned a lot about relationships from ENAers. - Under my signature are more goals I hope to accomplish before I graduate.

-Sanguine- Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Working out more, making more friends, volunteering Within myself, I've been creating more boundaries in relationships, not seeing everything with rose colored glasses, and doing things for me and no one else I'm actually content.

manicdogbert Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 My greatest achievement has been staying in NC for 3 months and not having the urge to contact him at all. I've been able to get on fine without him. I've done things on my own without being self-conscious about it (going to the movies, checking out plays, etc). Although I used to do things on my own before the relationship anyway so I'm not sure those are really achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lana111 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 HMMM. I would have to say moving out to my first place. Well, that really wasnt an accomplishment, but it made me feel like I was starting a new part of my life. Also, realizing that Im a "10". Not that Im really a 10 but that Im a great, beautiful person with all my ducks in a row and I should act like Im a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekgirl4 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I beat Angry Birds. Woah, I commend you for that - angry birds is pretty tough! Broke up on new year's day. Been working out like crazy and lost 8lbs (the healthy way, not starving myself because i'm depressed and broken up way). Hoping to lose 20 more and i'll be a knockout. Been applying to grad schools, hopefully I'll get in. Starting up a few old books I never finished. Other than that, I've been doing what I've already been doing - hanging out with friends, going out to have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterPo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Probably helping people. I always did but I notched it up and started building stuff and making lives a little better. Dont' know how many cars I fixed or badly needed house repairs completed, all gratis or if anything a hot meal. Kept me busy and even though I thought of her every other minute, it passed the time and made ME feel good about myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay_home Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Ehh, it's almost three years since my last serious relationship. But since then my most proudest accomplishment is that I'm so focused and so disciplined. I haven't fallen over in terms of letting the ghosts of the past deter me from looking for what it is that I still want. Even throughout high school and until now, I've always been very loyal to what's in my heart and maintain the same level of discipline -- so every year I just get smarter and smarter and learn more. Sex doesn't trap me; I've proudly turned away from women offering me only sex in hopes of finding something longer lasting and more fulfilling than just that. Peer pressure, my peers look to me as if I'm crazy giving up on all this tail out here. But by myself, by my will, I made the decision to do so to spare whatever's left of my soul to keep me sane. Not only to keep me sane, but to set an example. That I do care. That I will care and that means a lot to me. Despite the hardships I sometimes deal with when it comes to women, I never let that distract me nor disrupt the thought that I really do think that I stand a chance someday. So I can be hurt, I can be knocked to the ground, but I can't be stopped and I won't be stopped. Ever. My greatest achievement in life is not material. I don't care about the house, about the car, about the job as much as I do about the soul. I got a good soul. A good faith that helps me sleep at night and keeps me warm. I don't care about the woman's body as much as I do about the woman's thought. The thought of becoming something great and eventually giving back to a greater cause then yourself. The thought of being realistic and having realistic expectation; we are not on MTV. My proudest moment in life is a laugh to myself, because I hurt as easily as I stand back up. So I cannot stay down for too long despite what card I get dealt. And even when my time is up, I'm dreaming of going somewhere much greater than this place. So one woman, two women, three women, a hundred women cannot deter or disturb me from my destiny. Either way, I'm destined to be something, somewhere, someday.

JJHK Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 15 days after break up and 10 days of NC here is what i have been working on: ---> Started P90x 7 days ago, I started consulting a nutricionist, i am working out 1 hour evey single day non stop. I am determined to go back to the body i had when i was 21 (now 33.. and sedentarism no more!) ---> Moving out. I already got a new place to move in . I felt i needed to leave the place i share so many memories with my ex. I got a bigger loft.. 2 stories, in a great location in the city. It is brand new so i will have to invest money putting it together (painting, buying new furniture, decorating etc...) I hope it helps me a lot through the process of healing, and every day that passes by i am more excited about the whole idea of moving. ---> Work .. Work .. Work .. Here is the catch. I work from home. I have been doing it succesfully for the last 7 years. Now it is EXTREMELY HARD to work from home since the times i am alone is when i automatically start thinking, missing, wondering about my ex... so what i have done, i that i just take my laptop and go to a nice cafe with WIFI and sit there 4 hours a day drinking cappuccinos and working... it has done wonders so far for my working performance.... So yes.. I feel like crap AT LEAST once a day. I have a knot in my chest. But i have tried to stop and take a look back at this last 10 days, i have to admit i am not letting this ruin my life. I cannot allow that to happen. So i guess so far i feel a little proud of me. I know it is just the beggining, and harder times will come when i will feel hurt and bad... but at least i know i am trying ... and that is everything i will always ask myself to do .. TRY..TRY HARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeItCount Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not knocking out the guy I saw her with? Hahahah. Just kidding. Been hitting the gym pretty hard, every week I lift more and more, I'm in the primo-est (non word ftw) shape of my life and I feel great in that aspect.

HESJUSTSTUPID Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I did what he didn't expect me to do!! When he texted to see how I was I didn't respond right away he got upset and told me if I didn't want him to contact me he'd wouldn't and I responded with a ''thats fine, don't contact me". I'm sure that he expected for me to beg and plead once again BUT NO MORE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
