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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
