Ran into my ex-bf

He tried to hug me in the store. I almost screamed at him. Then I came home and cried, even though I was the one who broke up with him. We broke up because he's an emotional sink hole who can't commit and he'd rather lie to placate me than deal with an issue.

I managed not to eat the entire box of cookie dough, but I did eat four cookies worth. I should really go running, and grade papers, and write my own stupid conference presentation, but I'd rather lie on the couch and feel sorry for myself.

Feh. I don't know if I need a hug or a kick in the butt.

    If you need a hug... *hug*

    If you need a kick in the butt, I can do that too! :)

    Just think... maybe next time you run into him you can be even more fit and you can walk away knowing how much happier YOU are without him!

    You definately need a hug! Get over the cookies, you obviously needed them. Go did a run, not because you 'have to' just to clear your head. Then get on with your day. Stop stressing out over some emotional retard!

    I've been there and I'm sorry you had to go through that.

    My fiance and I split up about a month and a half ago. When she came home from school for spring break she showed up at my work and tore my heart out all over again.

    It's lousy when they feel the need to pour salt in the wounds all over again.

    Hang in there, friend.

    Good job! I know how it feels being an emotional eater. GUILTY!!!

    I say do what you want to do and then tomorrow start all over again with the program.

    Oh and he sucks. You're better off without him and sounds like you know it. You'll find someone wonderful when the time is right!!!

Cheer up girl it could of been so much worse! He probably hugged ya cause he thought you was looking fine!!!!!!!! He's probably already thinking why did I let her go?

    Both, kick in the pants to get out there and exercise off the stress, and definitely a HUG!! BEEN there! I used to go swimming, and swim non stop for 30 mins! Kicker is, I am not a swimmer, i was just THAT PO'd! By the time I was done each day I was so exhausted I didn't care, and would literally fall into my bed and pass out at night. I was in great shape by the time I got over him! Took me two years. Yes, I was that in love with him, but he was a huge liar too, and the trust was gone forever. Saw my Mom go through two divorces once when I was 3yr and then again at 8yr. I am so glad I learned her lessons and waited until I found the right guy! 21 years this past Feb!!

    Good luck, stay strong, and burn off that stress! That which does not kill us makes us stronger!
