Break-up

It sounds horrible, but I always listen to sad depressing music when I am sad and depressed. I don't really cry, but it is kinda like crying. Everyone says it makes you feel better, but while you're doing it you feel completely awful.0

I have had a lot of break ups..none where the guy softened the blow with choc. Lol.
I indulged...but i also did stuff totally for me. Shopping, manicures, pedi..allowed myself to cry and feel the pain/hurt. Listened to depressing music.0 -

A night (or 12) of romantic comedies always helps me. Somehow it restores my faith in romance. Also, Sex and The City. I made it through 3 seasons once after a break-up. Helped tremendously.0

Hang-out w/ your friends and family and workout. Keep your self busy. Don't turn down any invitations to do anything. Unless it's creepy or involves you eating too many calories!0

First of all.... what a d-bag for bringing chocolate when he probably knows you're dieting! Saboteur!
Secondly- besides eating myself into a coma, my friend taught me this- find a funny movie and watch it until you feel better. When her fiance left her she watched Big Mommas House every time she started getting sad. She brought me over White Chicks- I watched it... alot. If you don't have kids, go out with your friends! Girl time! Do things for you- including exercise, it will make you feel better in the end.
Depending on the intensity of the relationship, I always felt I needed a change- new hair cut or color did it for me everytime.
It all depends on you and what makes YOU feel good!0 -
Shopping, Mani/Pedi, at home facials, baths, watching my favorite shows/movies, working out and going out with the girls!
Just talk it out with family n friends, cry... but immersing myself with goood company and just putting myself #1 makes me forget0 -
Go out and do something special for yourself. Treat yourself like the princess that you are. Do something new with your hair, your makeup, anything, just so that you feel special to yourself.0

I recommend a punching bag it's a fantastic catharsis!0

I also go with the punching bag/hard running0

No man is worth over-eating. I used to eat an entire bag of cookies or some other junk when my first husband and I would fight. The only person i was hurting was myself!0

Excellent advice! And pampering yourself sounds good too. Remember by pigging out you are only hurting yourself. I was doing this not even a week ago when I was angry at someone. The advice I have given so many others came into my head and I stopped and said "what the hell are you doing?"... Never allow anyone or anything have that kind of power over you! Maybe you need to get angry... how dare he bring chocolate and sabotage your weight loss goal! Punch some pillows, scrub some walls... find something to use up that energy. Call some girlfriends and go out dancing! You are worth it and you are going to win this battle!0 -
You need to re-invent yourself! Do things that you want to do!! Put yourself first and immerse yourself with friends and family and cry out those emotions that you are feeling. It is ok to be sad and depressed about the situation and you need to get those feelings out because it is healthy! Someone once told me that women have a tendancy to define themselves by the relationships they are in so when the relationship ends we have this lost feeling. A feeling like we dont know who we are almost. I know that is what i did with my past relationship that ended a month ago and now i have been building myself back up and finding myself again. I wish you the best of luck in your adventures and if you need support I am here!0

Throw out the chocolate first off. Then make sure that you don't have any other junk food, or high fat food in the house. He probably is trying to sabotage your diet. Have yourself a good cry, then move on. Do something special for yourself, hairdo, nails, or whatever you like to do that doesn't include over indulging on food or alcohol. Find a friend, someone you trust to talk to. Then see it for what it is, over! He probably did you a favor by leaving. You are stronger than you think. You've come along this far and you can do this. Use this as motivation. You want to make yourself healthy and strong. That will be the best revenge ever that he can see you not just surviving, but thriving without him. Use your support group here on MFP to vent. I can look back at breakups I've had in the past and now see how fortunate I was that it happened. I wish you the best success ever.0
