So I work with my ex girlfriend and I am over her...or am I? We have both moved on but since that time she somehow decided to go on a diet and lose weight. She has lost nearly 20 pounds (as she was bigger when we dated). She always was a little bigger but it did not bother me but it would have been awesome if she would have done so when we were together. I never made that an issue whenn we were dating. Why all of a sudden is she doing this? It kind of makes me upset and or jealous that she didnt do this while we were together. I've always been in shape and working out is one of my hobbies. I now learn that she is losing weight and is looking a lot better. Its like that line from the movie Knocked up..and not directly wuoted (shes getting more attractive and i'm getting less attractive since we broke up). I know i"m not getting less attractive but shes getting more attractive since we broke up. It shoulnt make me mad but I dont know why she is doing it now when she knew I worked out all the time and suggested doing so as an activity we could both enjoy.
I have come to a philisophical conculusion that it does not matter I should not care because I should praise her as a human being bettering herself. I am over her and I wish the best for her and I hope she wishes the best for me. If I was truly over her should I not care? Its just hard that we work together and I see her change and I cant drastically change like that becuase I am in shape. I'm not going to me Mr universe over night but she looks better in a matter or what seems days. Any advice? Should I just acknowlegde that she is bettering herself and I should just do something else that is better for me besides physical? I have never had any issues like that before mabye I should better myself mentally since she had that over me before? Thanks I know its a long post!

phew! That was quite a read.
I remember reading an article once that said if you want to get over a lost relationship, one thing you should do is to establish some changes in your life. Your ex is doing exactly the right thing, and you should make some changes, too. Don't just copy her and do the same thing... pick up some other new healthy habits.
Examples of things you can do (if you don't already do them): Smile more and become more social by talking to more strangers. Rearrange your furniture. Change the order of your morning routine. Commit yourself to a new hobby. Get a new job you think you'd be happier with. Get a new favorite brand of beer (especially if you drink that Bud Lite crap). The possibilities are endless.
