South Korea. What a great way to lose weight. Move to a country where it’s hard to find all the old comfort foods, and the new food is so strange that you just don’t feel like gobbling it all up. Then add in the too broke to eat out much factor and the no car, must walk everywhere part and VOILA! 27lbs fell off in 3 months! WORD.
I fear a plateau though, now that I’ve learned where to get the good food and I have more money…...must add more rigorous exercise to my routine.

As many of you already know, the rebound just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I don’t want to disregard the need for a rebound, but after you’ve been in love, casual sex just…isn’t what it was in college.
But now that time has passed I have succeeded in letting go of a lot of the bitterness and forced hatred. You can’t force yourself to hate someone anymore than you can force yourself to love someone…or stop loving someone. I loved my fiancee. I thought I could make a life with him. And all the hurt and bitterness and failure is okay. I don’t have to force myself to get over it at record speed anymore.
I’m focusing on my 43 things. I’ve been checking things off the list in this past six months. The most significant of which is that only a few days ago, I moved to South Korea to teach English. Talk about a clean slate.
And though he’s treated me with disregard and disrespect, and thrown away all the forevers we promised eachother. I’m no longer full of fury and rage. He still tries to keep contact. And I absolutely LOVE that he has no idea where I am now, that from the tone of his e-mails, he wonders about me. That’s petty I know. But significant growth is slow. If I live for every moment here, all of the things related to him will fade and I’ll be ready to wish him well and leave it at that. And maybe I’ll find love again. A much better, truer love, that doesn’t punk out when the chips are down.
