Pizza makes very bad break up food. To harsh on the tummy, and not very healthy.

Hang in there. Things will get better. I know that doesn't really mean much right now, but it's the truth.

Got it...sorry. I will just eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water. I'll exercise and...nevermind...I won't...

No, you won't. You won't exercise and you won't really care what you eat on the days you do eat. I was there, I remember it and I know how low and hurt I felt.

You have to try and take care of yourself at least a little. Even though you aren't going to be living with your children, when they are spending time with you, they need their dad to be as healthy as he can be under the circumstances.

I wasn't trying to down play your pain. I just know from my experience, there were times when I would eat and it wouldn't stay down. So I had to think practically, what will hurt the least if it comes back up. Of course there were sometimes when I would go for days with eating no more than a yogurt or potato chips.

You're not just hurt, your grieving, and that's the worst kind of hurt.

Use the journal here to express your feelings, when you need a hug, post a thread that says "I need a hug." We'll be here to give it to you. You will get through this and people here will help. We've been through the pain, so we know how important having support and people to listen, can be.

I really agree with Gaelyn - this is the place to let it out and get support. We've got your back.

your avatar reaches us all. we have all been at that point, and some are still there, while others may be returning there, just keep talking it out, it helps whether in a thread or journal. some of the more prite feeling you may want to put in a journal. , but hang in there , we are here with ya..
Your avatar strikes a nerve with me, In a good way, feeling the same some days.. good luck..

You can't cook? Take a class in cooking (heck I was always a better cook than my ex anyway ;) ). Actually DO take a class, or exercise or do anything that will keep you busy, so you don't end up sitting around thinking about "stuff" all of the time. Staying busy is one of the best treatments for grieving and/or depression.

Don't let your depression lead you to drugs or alcohol. That's a one-way trip downward! Hang in there! Things WILL get better for you! There are many people here who have been through the different phases of grieving and are more than happy to give you advice or recommendations.

Best of luck! (hug)

At least you're eating! Pizza is one of the healthiest of meal choices, actually, in the fast food category of fast foods ~ all of the four basic food groups in one. (ask for whole wheat crust)

Seriously though, this is going to be a tough road to travel but, step by step, with the help and encouragement of others around you including this sight, you will see a tiny flicker of light at the end of that old proverbial tunnel. Many of us before you have been through much of this madness and fortunately enough, I believed them, I stuck around and things miraculously, have been better. It takes work and self perseverance. Never, did I think for a moment, during the worst of the storm, that this would occur.

Do the smallest of things that you can for now. Those include eating, hydrating (water) and everyday tasks that we need to perform. Be good to yourself.

(((((((((((hugs)))))))

Well, no matter what you choose to eat (pizza is not so bad), at least remember to eat, even if you aren't hungry.

Many of us dropped lots of weight on the "divorce diet." I, for one, needed to drop about thirty pounds so it was a good thing for me, but not eating can make you very unhealthy.

Take care, R-man. Keep talking to us here.
Hugs!

Go ahead and order the pizza for now--at least you're eating. I don't know how to cook, and frequently forget to eat until I am shaking!

Hang in there!

Hi there R. The others are correct that Pizza is not so bad. We have one member here that I think lived on it for a few weeks, eating it cold for breakfast. It is ok, whatever you eat, but that was an excellent suggestion to take a cooking class, It will give you something to do, other than concentrate on how awful you feel. Cooking isn't all that hard, once you put your mind to it.
The main thing is to eat a little, sleep a little , and exercise a little. That helps the mind so much. Keep leaning on us here, reaching out, and in time, you will notice that you feel a little bit better. healing hugs to you, Kimmee

"Actually, I could eat pizza everynight"

Brother !

Do you have the other half of this pizza tatoo on your arm?

Seriously, pizza is fine, I have eaten tons of it in the last 6 weeks. Just ask anyone here.

Look at it this way. Pizza is cheap, easy, and now you can order any toppings you want (it's just you now buddy - go nuts ).
And the leftovers make for a quick and awesome breakfast.

Eating pizza is a damn site better than eating nothing, so go nuts on the comfort food.

By the way, I was like you just 7 weeks ago. Now there are entire hours where I feel normal. Hang in there.

Here is a good variation: order Chinese! Between pizza and Chinese (they have good variations of food that are heathy) you will be ok. If exercising is something that you enjoy and keeps your mind afloat, go for it. Otherwise, now is not the time to start something that can make you sore on top of the pain you are experiencing. You are not alone!

Hugs,

This thread is making me hungry.

Pizza and beer. mmmmm good.

I think regular frozen CPK pizza is great. Thin crust.. (healthier too).

Add on to it but putting your own toppings ie: more veggies, onions, shredded chicken.. I do it all the time.

Tastes better then that soggy shit they end up delivering... and cheaper too.

Nothing wrong at all with Pizza.. and it's great that you still have an appetite. Keep it up :)

Mine has left the building...for now..
