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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
