We broke up :-(

I always super deep clean my house when i'm mad. It seems weird but it makes me feel better (I'm not a neat freak normally so my daughter can always tell when i'm mad haha). if you don't want to go to the gym, maybe seek out alternative activities. We have a pottery painting place here where you buy a plate or something, then can paint it. Or maybe a painting class? Go to a play or a museum. Any way to channel your emotions. You can friend me if you'd like. I'm good at lending a good ear

I switch from comfort eating, to comfort drinking.

Haha :happy: Great. I'm not much of a drinker.

Great time to start. I suggest Skinny Girl mixers, and/or captain & coke zero. About 60 cals per serving and carb free!!!

It is always a downer to lose a relationship around one of the most couple related holidays out there, but all in all, vent. Don't intake, out take. Write it out, or draw it out, scribble out the stress.

When you get the chance, go walk. Walk, walk, walk. Get some fresh air. If you have a dog, they are your partner in crime and they can feel that you need it and will be at your side--maybe even do something silly to distract you; my dog likes to keep me on my toes when I'm stressed. He'll try stopping right in front of my feet to see if I'll notice or trip. lol

When you have time, go to a gym, and lift weights. Don't injure yourself, but push a little further than you've gone before. Use that pain and frustration to fuel it, and you'll find it leaving you along with your hard earned sweat.

Then you can finish it all off with water therapy. Take a nice hot shower to relieve the taught in your muscles, relax your nerves, and let the stress you sweated out go down the drain. Then, start focusing on what you want. Think of your goals and imagine reaching them. It isn't so hard if you put your mind and body forward together on it.

Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps they just weren't the right piece to the larger puzzle, but you learn a little of what you did or didn't like about them, and it helps you realize what is more important to you when finding your true other half. It isn't the end of the world, just the end of one single chapter.

Crochet a blanket. Your hands will be busy, and by the time you finish, you'll feel a lot better and have a lovely blanket!

this.

sorry luv. treat yourself to the chocolate. but log it and avoid bingeing. then go exercise or lift weights or take an angry class to work off some steam. and the chocolate.

That sucks! My suggestion is a chocolate herbal tea, like David's tea coffee cake flavour (smells like heaven!) or how about hot chocolate? Good luck

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?

Look at inappropriate things on the internet. Laugh loudly. *kitten* furiously.

I this post

Go for a run or long walk... and if you don't feel better, repeat everyday until you are happy again :-)

I've discovered I can't lift heavy weights and cry. I can walk and cry, I can run and cry, I can't squat heavy and cry. That's my place where everything melts away and all I can focus on is getting my *kitten* down and back up again. Find your place where you have to give your entire being to that and that alone. Afterwards you will feel fantastic.
