So i have made fake pages in the past to follow him and see what he is doing and the majority of pictures he likes are girls who are very fit and with nice butts and it makes me feel very insecure. I am a full time mom and i work full time so by the time i get home im so exhausted to work out. any feedback ??
Wait, I'm a bit confused here. So, you're cyber stalking your ex and your baby daddy (for lack of a better term... or were you in a relationship with him at some point? ) who's a fitness guru who likes pictures of women who are super fit? Were you super fit when you were together or something? IME, guys who are into uber-fit women/bodybuilders are really specifically into those types. I think it's more a common hobby/obsession than anything... but that's here-nor-there.

And your ex (who I'm assuming is an ex for a reason) sounds pretty sketch like he might have been untrustworthy / looking to "trade up", and the personal trainer dad is into gymrat ladies which like I said... pretty normal. Why worry about what either is into today? I mean it's always tough when shared custody is a thing, but I'd say minimize interaction where you can. It's all about the kid and not the least bit about either of you at this point.

I'm a huge proponent of seeking out partners with a similar lifestyle so you can appreciate the same joys and struggles. Personally, I try (and generally succeed at) eating right and stay healthy and trim, but I'm far from being a ripped gym nut, so I tend to mesh with ladies who like me, are in somewhere the middle: Who like to stay active, but not to the detriment of other things in life. I have a few uber fit friends who spend A LOT of time on being active, and they've paired up accordingly.

As for the social media: IMO, just get off it. I quit everything besides LinkedIn and haven't looked back. It's just drama and time-wasting nonsense that could be spent doing better things.
Thanks for this!
