Working out more? Working out less? Eating better? Eating terribly? Sleeping a lot/less? ETC...

    Drinking and eating awfully, but especially cleaning and tidying like there's no tomrrow. Thank God my house has been a mess for a while now.

    When my BF of 10 months broke up with me, I didn't eat much for the following 3-4 months. Then when I hadn't found anyone to fill the hole, I started eating pasta (and only pasta) for dinner for the next 3-4 months. Now I'm kicking my butt for being an idiot and trying to lose the weight I gained.

    The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. At least that's what "they" say.

    I have never had a breakup, but I would be damn sure I would make myself look as hot as possible so the ahole would be sorry we ever broke up

    Cry one time, and one time only (I think that’s a hormonal thing). Can’t say drink because I drink, no events required. If anything, I would feel sad and if that sadness worsened I would say extra prayers. Otherwise I would keep it moving, YOLO!

    Take a hot bath, drink a glass of wine, have a good cry, then conclude it's his loss and I move on. No sense wasting time on someone who doesn't want to be with me.

    There were two stages.

    1st stage was totally pampering myself and eating whatever I wanted
    2nd stage, diving into healthy eating and exercise head first

    After they take my "just break up" advice from here on the forums, I usually send them a FR and let them use me as a rebound bang.
  • Cry, have a good hard workout and take a long nap. Then wake up the next day and do something that makes me happy, and move on.

    Tend to work out more and eat less. I am not a stress/depression eater. Interestingly enough, my last break up was almost exactly a year ago.

    Only ever had one break-up but I became underweight afterwards because I got so depressed that my appetite just seemed to evaporate. Not the best way to do it!

    Lots of crying and chocolate.

    Drinking is an option but I feel it makes things worse. Nothing classier than a drunken phone call in the middle of the night begging them back OR telling them how much better off we are with out them.....then there is the whole hang over thing. It prolongs the pain because it numbs is and keeps us from feeling and experiencing the grieving process.

    The physical pain is real and it SUCKS! Ya know, the feeling that someone is choking us while kicking us in the gut and punching us in the heart. This is a reaction to a chemical being cut off in our brain that is produced when we are in a relationship. We have to physically detox off of that for a while, then the emotional healing takes place.

    I am very sorry for your pain. I have been hurt a few times and never EVER thought I would be able to love again. I thought it was all over for me and I had lost the only love I had ever known. Learn and grow from past relationships and they will prepare you for the greatest gift of the most wonderful relationship in the world.

    Until then, cry a lot and eat chocolate.

    Hugs

    For me it was my husband of 4 years and while I was pregnant last year, at first it was hard for me to believe someone I loved for 8 years could do me how he did me so I sunk low with depression but then realized I had to do what was best for me and my 2 babies, so now I workout and am working on going back to school. For myself I truly have found that the best healing started within.

    You guys should post the date of your breakup...so I can look for the most vulnerable.
    Uh. Don't remember the date of any.
    -erases that from mind-

    Had only one breakup and at the end i think i was glad it was over! I had piled on pounds stuffing my face at the end of the relationship and actually started eating better after the breakup and lost a lot of weight!!!

    Right under the G of "Legit" in front of the arch for the "M"...is that a sprinkler system on the cart? To meet fire code regulations?

    I just get back out there!!
    When my ex and I broke up last year... I think I took that super hard. I drank a lot! I ate everything and anything that wasn't nailed down ...lol!

    But after about 6 months of throwing myself a pity party... I just sucked it up... went back to the gym. And I am looking so good these days... I love it when we run into each other and he's all like... Whoa! You're looking great! ---- that's right and I am never taking you back...lmao!!


    <insert evil laugh>
    Make yourself look smokin' hot...and get yourself someone new... there's always someone else.

    Or as my momma always told me... "NEXT!"
