We broke up :-(

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

I agree with this. I was really depressed about this time last year, and put on meds, but nothing felt better than the runner's high I would get when I would jog. When you get done you'll feel like a champ. And don't let not feeling motivated stop you from giving it a try, break that negative cycle!

Sorry to hear about the breakup. And the cravings. I did a lot of comfort eating and became a bit of a hermit after my divorce. Wish I hadn't. But I did.
Once the greiving is over with, look at it as an opportunity to end up with someone better suited to you who will make you happy. And in the meantime, be kind to yourself and do the things you enjoy doing. Get your laughs in. Surround yourself with people whose company you enjoy. Spoil yourself with some quality alone time (bubble baths and good books/movies/music/hobbies). Get out and walk, don't give up on being active. And if you must fall on top of a chocolate treat, develop a taste for good quality dark chocolate . I find I can get my fix in a square or two rather than a whole bar. Have it with strawberries or a few toasted almonds. It won't break your caloric plan, but it might take the edge off the craving.

and all I want to do is eat chocolate.


I would love some help and support on avoiding comfort foods... please.

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!

LOL..I have to agree,married,divorced,currently married and some days I want to kill him!..seriously,,its not the end of the world,,its a new beginning for you!! take it and run with it!

^^Yup. We married folk are all jealous. Lol!

I'm sorry

Put that chocolate down (emotional eating will only make you feel worse...I know...easier said than done). Work out, girl! Seriously. It will make you feel so much better. Get out there...lift those weights and do that cardio There's nothing more satisfying than that sense of freedom after a tumultuous relationship. You are now a single lady woooo.... so get out there and do your thing!!! Do whatever it is you want that you couldn't do while you were together.

get some little healthy items in the fridge, Homemade Protein bars (lemon yuk), Turkey muffins etc.... BodyBuilding.com has some treats, like this ice cream...Jerrys and ??? but its all healthy stuff. A lot recipes, meal plans workouts and all free..

I have this pre bed time meal -- Non Fat Greek Yogurt, Almond Butter, Protein Powder. This mixed has consistency of icing, has a sweeter taste but not to bad. I actually place this in the freezer and its gives me my ice cream.

but don't need them, better shape you get in, just think of all them yumminess to look forward to!!

Just remember this is just a bump in the road and any road to success theres always a number of speed bumps.

No comfort eating allowed, BE STRONG.
When you go through a break up, focus your attentions on yourself, make yourself the best version of yourself so your ex is like DAMMMMMM!:smokin:

Hi I can really understand what you're going through. My fiance and I recently broke up and like the other posters said it's a great time to find yourself. I've been doing things I've been wanting to do for a long time and working out alot. Plus I am saving money. I wish you the best and it does get better in time.

So sorry...
