Does Anyone Have Any Tips On How To Stop Eating After A Break-up?
December 27th, 2009 | 
Author: I lost a lot of weight when I met my ex-boyfriend, but now that we’ve broken up, I’ve realised that I’ve started to eat a lot more and go back to my old dietary habits.
How can I stop myself from doing this? I know a lot of you will say “easy, just stop eating” but it’s not that easy.
Getting My Ex Back - Things You Must Not Do Stop Break Up
Posted in stop a break up
I started smoking far too much after a break up and It was a comfort thing the same way I image junk food is for you.
After a break up you have your finger hovering over a self destruct button as nothing really seems to matter that much anymore because the thing that mattered the most is no more, The things you often had a motivation to do and the standards you often set for yourself drop because everything seems to be less relevant which also effects your confidence and you think, “well whats the point”?
You need to spend some time thinking about whats really relevant for you know and whats worth making the effort to look after yourself. I would always recommend doing something you’ve always wanted to do to make yourself feel a bit better and give yourself a wake up call that life does go on. Even if its intimidating research it now and just go and do it and make it a reality. It will really help.
All the best.
Find something else to do.
Go to work on your house; cleaning, organizing, moving furniture, repairs, mow your lawn, etc.
Do some volunteer work; help the elderly, bag food at a food bank, tutor kids with math or reading.
Do something fun; go for a walk around the block, go bowling, go for a bike ride, go swimming.
Once you are doing something other than sitting around dwelling on the past you will be much happier and find you are not eating so much.
Get out of your house and get busy. The eating may not come from “depression” as much as sheer boredom. Don’t blame it on the breakup. Get out there. Ask friends to join you when you eat- when I eat in front of other people, I NEVER eat as much as I want to. Also, SLOW DOWN. Do not eat with destractions like TV. CHEW SLOWLY and ENJOY the food. This way you have the time and the conscience thought to HEAR your tummy when it says “I’m FULL!”. Get extra crappy food OUT of your house. DON’T buy more “snacky” stuff. You won’t want to make a meal because it’s a lot of work, and DON’T allow yourself to call out or drive down the block to the convience store for chips or something. Eat ONLY when you are hungry. If you HAVE to sit at home, do something with your hands- take up knitting or something like that. Having your hands busy with a project that has an ultimate goal will help you not get up as much to eat.
GOOD LUCK
Exercise and when your exercising think about him as much. . . I bet you will slim loads=)
P. S. – You can still eat but as much as you eat balance with exercise, otherwise you will look like a pot=[
Also keep your mind busy, go out for a movie either alone either with a friend. If alone try to be social. x
every time you pick up food break it up and flush it down the toilet
you definitely cant eat it then
when my first boyfriend and i split up i piled wieght on. just go out with your friends more and try to forget about him, you’ll be alright! good luck
Get your glad rags on, ring up a friend or two and get yourself out there.
