Just was rejected by guy I was dating and I am trying not to emotional eat. I've been walking everyday to not dull and do something but the candy and wine is all I think about grabbing but haven't yet. Has any one else survived this challenge. Help!

    How much are you walking? Enough to feel the "runner's high" kick in? In general, when I get high from exercise, I don't seek it from food, but a realize a breakup is a special circumstance.

    Maybe you should schedule a massage or two?

    Aw man I am sorry!

    It'll pass eventually. Find something to keep you busy, like a walk or jog or get a friend and go to a museum. Make a poster of his face and throw darts at it. Listen to your favorite music and just keep busy.

    I emotionally eat when I break a nail :/

    txt friends.. take a bubble bath.. read.. brush your teeth.. scream (uses up calories).. don't let HIM be the reason you struggle..

    you can do this.. surround yourself with people who will talk you out of eating and help you do something else. do you have a friend you can go swim with?
