There's nothing like heartbreak to speed up weigh loss

SA_80_2012

Between my gym routine and feeling so sad, that eating seems almost impossible, it's no wonder i'm dropping weight :-\

Not the best way to do it, I know.

Omg. I am so sorry but you will cope so much better if you just focus on caring for your body. My sister and also sister in law are dealing with the same kind of weight loss. 70 lbs between the two of them. Focus on healing mentally and physically you will feel so much better. Sorry

Weight loss that is conditional to a circumstance or situation rarely lasts. I hope you feel better soon. Working out in down times can be really therapeutic though. Best wishes on getting through this tough time.

true. i lost a ton of weight due to stress a few years ago. who knew that the **** job i had was the best diet ever!


gained it all back, and then some after the stress was relieved.

Sadly I never not eat when stressed. I have found today channelling my anger is great for my workout - I may have to take up boxing.

I can't name you all individually, but THANK YOU so much for all the encouragement, support and advice.
It means so much more than you will every know.

I'll keep focusing on moving on and getting fitter, healthier and healed.

Right now, I'm devastated at the loss of what I thought was the man put on this vast earth for me to love, care for and treasure... I don't believe in soul mates by any means, but for some reason, this guy's meant far too much to me for such a long time, particularly when I compare it to other relationship.

Again, thank you everyone. Knowing you're all there for me means so much
xoxo

This is true. When my ex-fiance broke it off with me is really when I started to get out of that comfort zone I'd been in for years. I don't even look like the same person anymore.

But another way to speed up weight loss: try passing a kidney stone for a week. I dropped 6 or 7 pounds by having absolutely no appetite for days on end, and throwing up almost everything put into my stomach due to the pain.

Hey, truth be told...that's how I've maintained my focus. She had to move, and I wasn't willing to relocate. So yeah...

Don't worry, you'll make 'em regret it!

I'm sorry to hear about the heartbreak. I know how it is. Do try to eat at least a little...weight loss is one thing, malnutrition is another.

I've been there. Heartbreak was the reason I originally joined MFP. Look what it brought me!! It takes time and you'll be back to new.

I don't know your challenges.
Nobody business but yours.
We all struggle, and so we learn, we fight, we make changes and move ahead.
Just set your goals, take the right action, and all will be possible for you!
Good Luck :flowerforyou:

I'm going through this myself,. so I know exactly how you feel. Last week we were moving in together and this week we broke it off. It's shocking and gut-wrenching and, I too, have turned to MFP for support. I'm sending you a friend request.

I have a tendency to not eat when I'm this upset. This just happened on Monday, so I'm definitely not in a good place yet, but I know when things dull a little bit I will work hard to get on a healthier eating schedule. I'm going to have to because the gym is all I've got to occupy me at nights now (besides work) and it's the nights that are the hardest.

Stick with your determination to better yourself. Lean on your friends and family. DON'T contact him. This time is about you.

Also, read the book "It's Called a Breakup Because Something is Broken." It sounds kitchy, but I read it in a day (yesterday) and it helped me feel just a little better.

Been there. Last time I lost weight was after a break up. I didn't eat for a WEEK...just drank milk or juice once in awhile. Its awful.

michellekicks

I once lost 18 lbs in 3 weeks by living on coffee and cigarettes after a breakup. Gave myself wicked hemorrhoids. Totally don't recommend that.

I'm sorry you're going through some stuff :flowerforyou:

I know. I got hit hard within 8 hours three times. A very good friend died,my neice and nephew put in very bad situation with no way to help ( mom locked up today for meth and boyfriend for murder so kid's safe now) And the third thing I can not talk about to strangers. I am not a stress eater. I got queasy feeding the animals, gagged on my food and toothbrush and threw up a couple of times. I just kept trying. My cals went down and I just focused on eating. Not numbers because it upset me even more. Every thing felt out of control and not being able to eat the right stuff in the right amount made me feel like I was failing here also. I could eat tortilla chips. Not great but still.... Do what you can. Eat a few bites, put the food away( smell or sight added to the nausea) let your stomach calm down then eat a few more bites of that or something else. I'm sorry for your hurt. it will ease up.

wish you and all other heartbroken or those with losses from death the best!!!I
I know how hard it is and I feel so compassionate for you-as ive been there and done that, but it is truly better not to be in a bad relationsip than to be in one that hurts.

my advice would be to try to take vitamins protein smooties and jice at least. and if it lasts too long get soem antidepressants to get you thru it.myself, and ive watched so many friends suffer thru it without medicine and it takes so much longer. yeah meds are bad for your liver, thryroid, but short term its worth it n will do more good than bad.

PRAYER HELPS TOO!

Thank you.
I've had to re-assess my goals because most included a future with this person, but change is what makes us evolve and become better versions of ourselves...

Thank you for the advice and sharing what you can about your personal struggle. I'm certainly eating when i feel like i can manage. I've been crying less in the last 24hrs, so I can only hope that the healing process has begun

I have to agree... Prayers may help too.

Thank you for the advice. I'll take it onboard.

I've spent the last 24hrs without tears so hopefully I can keep it that way.

Let the healing begin, right?

That's awesome. The longest I've gone so far is like, 5 hours. Keep it up!

Oh doesn't it. Sometimes I wish I weren't so happy with my current relationship so that I could cash in on that sweet sweet depression appetite suppression. ..

... Hmm no, i reckon I'd much rather be in a steady, loving, respectful relationship, with a good partner who doesn't take you for granted and actually wants to be with you, than to go through misery and the devastation that can sometimes come with break-ups.

We can work on our physical appearance at any stage, but we can't force anyone into wanting us, or seeing our worth enough to want to make things work and hold onto us.

So sorry to hear the news. In time things will get better. I hope the time goes quickly for you. Hugs to you!
