love1336x Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Ugh. During a break up does food seem gross? I get nauseous when I attempt to eat.... It simply does not go well in my stomach, and I end up vomiting. I won't be crying and trying to eat. Does this ever happen to you?
LostConfused123 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Yep. It's weird too because sometimes I can eat with no problems and some days are like what you described. Hang in there. ((hugs!!)) 1
Author love1336x Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 I bet I'm going to lose weight.... Ugh.
Justaguy30 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Perhaps you should speak to a therapist, the upset thing makes sense but not puking.
lop98 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I was there early last year. The state of shock really prevented me being able to stomach food, if I was lucky I could eat about 1/3 of my usual amount of food and it would still make me nauseous and really sick. Combined with the distress I was in, I lost a lot of weight... I liked it until other effects showed up too: for most of the year I had breakouts on my neck (of all places ) and now I have a frown line and another next to the mouth that just won't go away. Watch out for that... remember to drink a lot of water, it makes a small but good significance emotionally... exercise (lots of cardio) and you'll see how you'll slowly start getting back your appetite. Also, do try to gradually get back to your usual amount of food and habits (times, types of food, etc) regardless of how you feel. It's about being disciplined... the pain is another story (it may stay with you for a long time) but that phase of shock can be defeated with the right steps. 1
Hello201 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I know what you mean I've lost 10kilos since may 12 , appitete slowly coming back , on the plus side women have been saying I look good . Excerise is so good I've restarted cycling , good for the mind as well as body Stay strong 1
turbo-p Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I lost about 6 or 7 kg in no time at all, couple of weeks tops. I was training and doing weights but not eating enough and before I knew it my tightest jeans were loose and baggy. It's ok to a degree but you get to a point where you have to be strong and positive enough to not skip meals and eat enough for the day.
Haydn Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Was normal for me. Didn`t really have any weight to lose but i had no appetite for months. It will change. 1
UK Man Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I have lost 25KG in 16 weeks . I look better but know it's not healthy
PachucaSunrise Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Ugh. During a break up does food seem gross? YES!! Big time YES! It's been a few months now and I STILL don't have my appetite back. Definitely normal. I've had break-ups in the past where I lost my appetite for maybe a few days or weeks, at the most, but this is the worst it's ever been for me, by far. I have to remind myself to eat, and even then, it doesn't go down all that easy. I get nauseous when I attempt to eat.... It simply does not go well in my stomach, and I end up vomiting. I won't be crying and trying to eat. Does this ever happen to you? Oh, man. That's awful. I feel for you. I do get sick to my stomach at times, but luckily (knock on wood), I haven't been vomiting. But yes, losing your appetite is most definitely part of the grieving process. Some people can't seem to even stand the thought of food (like me... It sounds like you as well), while others use food as a crutch. I lost around 20 pounds without trying. Definitely happy I lost it, just wish I had gotten rid of it in a much healthier way. Remember to take some multi-vitamins, and if you can, try drinking Ensure. I sometimes have a hard time with that, but it's been one of the only ways I've been getting some proper nutrients. Oh, LOTS and LOTS of water and maybe even some Gatorade as well. Good luck, and remember to be kind to yourself!

I try to take Advil yesterday for my cramps... and I vomit the water along with the pills... This is feeling pretty annoying honestly... I don't like feeling like I am wasting away. I've been drinking soda apparently my body likes that... I went to eat dinner with my mother... She noticed and sighed hard. I can't help it though... I really can't help it. 1
Author love1336x Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 I have lost 25KG in 16 weeks . I look better but know it's not healthy First relationship... I lost 5 pounds, but I weighed only 95 pounds at the time... So i looked so thin & gross.(i'm short girl) 2nd relationship... I GAINED five pounds haha. I was on birth control the shot. It made me SO hungry. Now... I'm eating little bits by bits. But I simply don't feel hungry. It's so force.
Haydn Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 My Mother did the same as i chased my food around the plate and tried to project the feeling that i was ok. Some people eat for comfort others starve for comfort in heartbreak. I remember feeling i deserved not to enjoy anything, including food. Try a little bit of `grazing`, grab a little something when you pass the fridge. Good luck. Thanks so much for your advice! I feel "normal" now sorta...
