New lipstick, new lotion, new perfume.

New hobby or pastime you like that he wouldn't.

Call friends.

Troll these boards.

Join one of the weight loss challenges here.

Buy something in a smaller size.

Get outside and get some sunshine and fresh air.

Think of how much weight you lost when you got rid of the boyfriend!

I totally understand what you're talking about. I broke up with my bf of 7 years a few months before my surgery, moved out of my house, quit smoking and started my own business. Needless to say I have a pretty high stress level! Not being able to turn to food for comfort (nope, you just won't be able to stress eat anymore as hard as you might try!) has been a challenge. I replaced that urge to feed with walking/running. I bought myself a pair of very good running shoe and some Dr. Dre Beats. When I feel that stress coming on and that panic feeling that i need something, food, nicotine, instead I put on some really good tunes, my running shoes and just head straight out the door. It's working so far :D

Well this sure as hell stinks and will make things harder. But things happen for a reason and you should be glad that guy is gone if he wasn't prepared to support you. This is going to be one hell of a challenge for you and when you come out the other side you will be much stronger, much happier with the new you, and will have made new relationships with good people who will support you.

Look at it this way girl... Your new sexy body is on it's way OUT! My exhusband married our home wrecking "friend" the day of my surgery. 14 months later, she is as big as a house!!! She just delivered a baby boy. I have lost 129lbs +165 of a sorry ass man. He texted me telling me how good I was looking. NO food FEELS AS GOOD AS KNOWING HE REGRETS THE DAY HE LEFT. Stick to your plan and he will be the one eating twinkles and crying before long.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
