I wanted to lose a few pounds

[tremolo]

But not this way

I can't eat. Can't sleep. Can't focus.

F.M.L.

Hey regardless of how you lose them it is a positive you are if you wanted to! Take the positives out of this experience. They are there if you search hard enough. Hang in there.

I don't know if you are into exercising - but either way, it does help with withdrawal symptoms of breaking up (will tire you up, increase your apetite, etc). Also can provide a venue to meet new people.

So think about joining a gym? And try to keep yourself busy in general with activities that you enjoy.

And above all: start building up a social network (recalling your post the other time)

tremelo.. you were doing so well yesterday.... but I know how you feel.. and there really is nothing I can say to help you... if you really arent eating... try peanut butter and put it on everything.. it will give you the fats and proteins you need...

This wont make you feel better but Im 6'4" and I shouldnt weigh less than 190..im about 165. i lost 30 POUNDS! so yeah.. dont get like me.

Actually, Nicholas, I am kind of a fitness fiend and work out on a regular basis. I had been stress eating over my PhD, so gained about 5 pounds between Christmas and now... but they are gone, so I guess I can at least thank the ex for that!

lol - I sympathise. Fellow phd-certified fitness fiend too. Unfortunately though I did lose a lot of good weight since December as a result of my story - what a waste...

Well, my (unconscious) response to getting dumped was to nearly double the amount of time I spend at the gym (in terms of sessions per week). It did help me feel (emotionally) better and kept me busy when I needed it.

But yes - being dumped and in a new city (in the middle on nowhere I should say!) sucks.

I recall when I came back home last month from school. Lmao! my family was just so shocked. I'm not a big person in nature so imagine me, a person who literally always look kind of small, loss some weight. Man I looked sick and messed up. I paid for meals at my dinning hall in school and I still had a bunch of meals left when I left for the beak. Waste of money and I put myself in danger.
