on 8/8/2006 Thanks to a heart wrenching breakup, I totally lost the will to eat. As a result, by the time I had gotten over my unworthy partner a few months later I had managed to lose 30 pounds and looked great in and out of clothes. Remember, good can come out of everything and that there is a good reason for this breakup to happen. Keep looking for it and you're sure to find it.

on 8/8/2006 Write down all the great things about yourself, then write down all the not so great things about your ex, read back and enjoy the story. Do not contact your ex to tell him these things, it could turn into a slinging match.

on 8/8/2006 I just broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years. It extremely hard for me because we are house mates, I can't move out now because I'll be finishing my studies in one more month.
The first thing I did was pack up all the things he gave me. Then it's time to delete his number from my phone and his name from my Yahoo Messenger friends list. I cried and still crying a lot now. It's okay to let out all the anger, only then I'll be able to release myself from the dysfunctional relationship. I also stop myself of thinking how bad he treated me throughout the relationship, because it won't help me forget but cause more heart ache when I think of my time and youth wasted on him.
I had no friends at all to help me during this difficult period, there's nobody beside me, no help, no support. If I can also work hard to help myself, I suppose you can succeed too! Believe in yourself.

on 7/15/2006 I was recently and unexpectedly dumped by my boyfriend of three years. The reason? He'd found someone else. The pain was, at times, unbearable. I spent much of my time feeling jealous and betrayed that he had managed to find a new girlfriend.
I couldn't let go of him - although I did not contact him, he was always on my mind, from when I woke up to when I went to bed. A few weeks later, I stumbled across him and his new girlfriend at the gym. Just seeing the other woman helped me to understand that he had moved on and so should I. It also helped that she was nothing like I had imagined. I felt sorry that he had let go of me for someone so inferior to me.
To get closure, I text messaged him to say good luck for the future and that I hoped he'd finally met the one. I then erased his details from my phone, threw out his pictures and took time to look after myself. I also changed my gym.
