BlueKitten Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 So after my break up I lost 15lbs, not intentionally, I just couldn't sleep and had no desire to eat. I think I am getting better now but I am interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced this. I was dumped back in October so I guess its been about 2 months... 1. Dumper or Dumpee? 2. Weight gain or loss? 3. How much? 4. How long did it take you to get back to feeling normal about food? Link to comment

mylolita Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 1. Not a Dumper or a Dumpee - just a rocky patch in an long term relationship 2. Weight loss. 3. I lost 5lbs over the course of 2 weeks of stress and worrying. I was only 7 stone 9lbs to begin with so this worried people even more! 4. Instantly. A few days after I knew everything was back to normal I ate like I'd been starving for a month! I gained it all back within a week! Ha! Sorry I don't have an answer to your question as someone who's been dumped or dumped someone, but I also lost a lot of weight (10lbs) when I first met my fiance, just because I was so excited and had so many butterflies in my stomach that I couldn't sleep or hardly eat. I was literally love sick! Weight loss or gain doesn't have to be down to depression. Once you get yourself back on track, it may be in a month, it may be much longer, you'll slowly find yourself having an appetite again. Hell, I knew a girl who'd been on the 'Heart Break Diet' after loosing a guy she loved because his families religion didn't permit them to be together. She hated the break up but loved the fact that she lost weight without trying so, I know it sounds awful but that was actually a positive for her! Things will get better with time, Love Lola x Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 1. Dumper b/c he was a jerk 2. Loss 3. 10lbs or so 4. I'm generally happy after a relationship and jump into working out/being healthy so it was a good thing for me. Lost weight, looked fantastic and got myself a new fantastic bf. I gained about 15lbs when we were together, which doesn't sound like much but on a small frame, it shows a lot and everyone noticed. gringe. Link to comment
Hennie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 1. Dumpee 2. Weight loss 3. 15-20 pounds 4. My breakup was in the middle of October, it took me about a month to be able to eat without wanting to throw up. Now, I can eat, just not at as much as before the breakup and sometimes I still don't have an appetite when things about my relationship/breakup flood my mind. Link to comment
rocko123 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 1. Sort of both? She said she didn't know if she could do it anymore, that she would have to wait and see, so I broke it off 2. Loss 3. 17 lbs in about 2 months 4. 3 months or so. My problem was anxiety and it was tearing my stomach up. Once I got on a med to level me out, I began eating regularly again Link to comment

Minx2012 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 So after my break up I lost 15lbs, not intentionally, I just couldn't sleep and had no desire to eat. I think I am getting better now but I am interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced this. I was dumped back in October so I guess its been about 2 months... 1. Dumper or Dumpee? When I was around 18 yrs old, I was dumped by my high school sweetheart. 2. Weight gain or loss? Weight loss. 3. How much? 13 lbs. ( From 115 lbs to 102 lbs ) - I looked horrible. It wasn't on purpose. That's just how my body works when I am sad or stressed...it loses weight bc my stomach somehow doesn't want to take in food, no matter how hard I try. 4. How long did it take you to get back to feeling normal about food? I've always felt normal about food...but during that difficult time ( and now, as I am going through my 2nd break up at the age of 33 yrs ), my stomach just wouldn't take anything. It took around 1 month for it to become "normal" again. Link to comment
