I KNOW! With the D-day (discovery day...the day you find out your spouse is cheating) I lost 30 lbs! It really works...REALLY!

Same here I've lost 7pound in a week! I haven't ate or slept prop an I do look drained an pail. But yep this type of pain deffo puts you off your food. Big hugs hun

Being the same age as you I had to smile at your post it is true I've been struggling to take off these last 20 pounds ... and guess what they're almost gone in less than a month ... aside all this I'm so sorry for your situation ... try to keep pushing forward doing the best for yourself know that you've made a lot of the new very supportive friends that are in the same boat as you ... hugs

Beware i lost weight during the separation
And the divorce. I could barely choke food
Down without crying.

After the divorce and moving, i started buying
Ice cream for my bad uncomfortable feelings
And emotions. i would then eat some ice cream
And I gained back my weight back.

My suggestion don't be Like me, exercise or
Something healthy It out. There will be tons of
Bad F&E afterward. The Transition phase is not
easy either, many continue with therapy. HUGS

The stress diet. I don't recommend it but if you add some exercise to your daily routine it is beneficial to your health. I've lost almost 50 pounds in nearly 16 weeks. I do have no appetite, need to remind myself to eat sometimes. My mind is worried about 100 things...eating is just not one of them. But I'll be in better shape this summer to go out and to things. Makes you feel better too. Helps with the healing process when you see something positive. Keep working hard and stay strong. Positive attitude. Good for you. -HUGS-

I know...it's amazing.....down 25lbs myself.....lost 5" in waist and hips! Now....I don't recommend this diet to anyone...but damn....I'm gonna keep going with it and get down even more....,who knows....maybe I can get back to where I was before kids!

I lost 23 lbs myself! It is the only positive of going through a such an awful situation! Now I just need to add exercise for stress relief but hard with a crazy schedule and winter......still have done many walks in the cold.....gets me away from stbx for a bit since he is still living with us........

Yes I too lost 14 lbs and......... 13 stone worth of a cheating wife that's made my load a lot lighter,!, :-)

If I can't laugh about it, I'd be crying all the time! Maybe we should start a Biggest Loser - Divorced pool and see who loses the most! Thanks and love to all of you out there! We're going to make it and be sexy to boot!

Some lose it too fast and are not in a
Mentally or Emotionally healthy place.

Some need to walk excess miles just
to keep sane and maybe take meds to
get thru the day or night.

Exercising And watching what you eat
is much Healthier than not eating anything
and Some can't even keep food down.

Its really not a lets feel better about ourselves
diet most of the time. Most people going thru
Divorce have that pinched and haunted look.
HUGS

Well hell I'm nauseous and vomiting with a poor appetite and my fat a$$ didn't lose a lb! Lol not even water weight with all these tears! Here an idea let's all go to Mexico for cheap plastic surgery! Starting over would be nice with brand new boobs

I lost 14 lbs in the 1st 2 weeks. Went from 162 to 148. Im not a big guy and didn't have the weight to lose. Its been 12 days short of 2 months and i can't get the weight back. Going to have to start lifting weights so I can at least replace the weight with some muscle because I'm basically wasting away. I'm not an average doughy American, I'm a former athlete. I call it the Heartbreak diet but it is by no means healthy. For those of you who did need to lose that weight good for you but eventually it's going to come back when you emotionally stabilize. Is whole divorce break up situation we find ourselves in is a perfect opportunity to make some lifestyle changes and begin to eat healthy start taking walks and maybe start working out at a gym or even at home if you own some free weights. You don't have to get anything expensive you can pick them up used through Community forums and flea markets and things like that. Really try to take care of yourself and eat healthy foods. We all have to be our own best friends because the people we thought were our best friends have betrayed us and a lot of you are selfless individuals who truly loved the people who screwed you over and I am with you. We're going to get through this people.

I lost 10 pounds and now I'm exactly where I need to be. The first 5 were gained after menopause (lucky me, it happened in my late 40s) and the next 5 gained were the crappy-marriage-realization phase. I have been making efforts to eat much more in terms of veggies, essentially my dinner plate is veggies with some carbs and some protein. I'm more thoughtful about drinking my milk and taking my vitamins too. Trying to be healthy but not always successful. Snacking is tough. Tonight I snacked in lieu of dinner - chocolate and wheat thins.

You made me LOL :) Your post gave me hope, seriously I am counting on loosing weight now that my boyfriend dumped me. The idiot owns a restaurant (I'm calling him an idiot because I'm obviously still angry at him) and also he didn't want to use condoms because those are "uncomfortable" . Long story short I ended up taking the birth control pills and gained 10 kg. Now I can't wait to get rid of the extra weight and every memory I have of him. <3

i felt like that during mine.. but you got to force yourself to eat. drink protein shakes, and a vitamin.
