      I switch from comfort eating, to comfort drinking.

      Get out there and be active and snag yourself a new man while out enjoying yourself.

      Sorry about you breakup. Maybe get angry and go punch some bags? Kickboxing? Don't eat and gain wait over it. Eat because you love the food and want too.

      Trust me, chocolate will make you feel worse! Find another way of cheering up like watching a bad movie (when I broke up with my boyfriend I watched 'Sharknado'. The name alone was better than ice cream.)

      Exercise is the best and 100% natural anti-depressant there is. Get out there!

      gotta agree, pick yourself up, bank this as motivation, find yourself a new one and then feel free to shove your new found hotness in his face with new boy toy in tow lol.

      It may sound stupid, but when having relationship issues, I lift weights. I picture pushing out the negative in my life with each exhale. Sorry to hear about your break-up, but food will NOT make you feel better. xo

      It doesn't sound stupid at all. That's a great idea but what do I do while at work?

      Getting in shape, looking the best you've ever looked, and having fun tends to be the best revenge in a breakup.

      Omg, do you realize what this means?! Sweet freedom!!! Go forth and live life. There is NO reason to seek out another relationship, right now. Break ups are THE BEST for finding yourself, again...and doing whatever the hell you want to.

      I know. I've been married, twice (currently married), and I just know that men and romantic relationships are overrated. Don't tell my husband that. haha! :wink:

      I agree with Hornsby. Go for a long walk., treadmill,.. or kick the hell out of a cardboard box until you are tired

      That's really good advice! I've been married before too, won't do that again.

      Exercise lots it helps with feelings of depression. Start with healthier alternatives, if you want something sweet find a natural recipe which is nice but without the naughtiness.
      I recommend thevedge.org for delicious recipes that promote a healthy life style. However there is no harm in having a small treat once a week, because it will keep you motivated if you allow yourself once in a while.

      Talk to a friend, have plenty of laughs and most of all enjoy the weight loss experience. Make sure you do it for you and no one else, don't give up just have the determination and will power to get through it. You will feel better, it is just now you feel sad but it will and does pass - you will just feel guilty after bingeing.

      Fun fact: Doctors in the 1800s used to perscribe chocolate as a cure for a broken heart.
      Have your chocolate indulgence for just a day. Then you better work that *kitten* off!!!
      Turn that sadness into anger and punch the hell out of a bag you pretend is his stupid head. Haha

      QFT == quoted for truth

      sorry to hear you're going through this. When I went through this last summer, it was walks....long, long walks with the dog. Gives you time to think things through, makes you body feel good and keeps you out of trouble with chocolate & alcohol :)

      Good luck.

      If you're a member of a gym, and want an amazing revenge bod but don't know how, seek out some classes. I always like the kickboxing classes so you can channel your inner rage! Also when I'm really mad, I go trail running (basically jogging in a forest). If you have any nature preserves nearby with trails, plug in your headphones and go running! It's a great workout too because you have to jump over stuff and you feel like you are an action hero in a movie.

      Going to the gym might help! That helps me whenever I'm going through something.. and I've always been an emotional eater but I've finally gotten that under control for the most part.

      I'm a man and I'll agree that we, and relationships, are generally overrated. :smile:

      As has been said ... get thee to the gym ASAP and wear yourself out with weights and/or cardio.

      As for chocolate ... indulging in some dark chocolate (80-85% stuff) is not terrible if you keep it within reason. And the chocolate endorphins are still there. It can be a bit high in fat, but there's just not as much sugar so it's a little more "friendly."
