WI 1 Day Late...DISASTER!!!

After the past 2 weeks I finally caved in and fell apart.

The first of the two weeks I had my life turned upside down and inside out.
I was able to drop 2 pounds for that week. Now for the bad news; I had my
vacation and was overwhelmed by emotions and I paid the price of putting on
4.6 pounds. I did not write anything down nor did I try to eat right. I
did go for a run and play 2 rounds of golf. I thing that kept me from
getting 5 pounds.

I really cannot see beyond my loss of the girl I love so much. I cannot
even bring myself to meet others. I am trying and they all get compared to
what left.

As for the car disaster that occurred a few days after she left, it is being
resolved my another shop. I had to pay more, but It should turn out ok.

I am back on track as of yesterday. I wrote everything down and counted. I
am doing the same today. My goal was not to use any flexpoints this
weekend. As of 1:30pmEST I have succeeded. I have dinner planned and it
falls in my point range.

Is there any advice for a person to get back out and meet people?

Sorry to air dirty laundry, but I just can't seem to talk with people that I
know personally. The anonymous nature of this makes things a little easier.

Thank you all

Hi, Charlie, I can't help you with meeting other people but I can tell you
that my son had a similar situation. A girl he had dated for 4 years left
him for his best friend. He was crushed. A year later he met Emey, a year
after that, they married and now I have 3 beautiful grandchildren. I hope
you find peace.

You have no idea how much that means. Just the generous support of friends,
family, and sometimes strangers will get a person through anything.

Not sure if it is appropriate, pass on my Congratulations to him.

Sorry to hear about your loss. That can't be easy. Give ourself time to heal
before venturing out into the dating world. Maybe you could find a local
club - professional or hobby related that would get you meeting people. You
need to cultivate relationships with both men and women at this stage in
your life. Even a church group might offer you the companionship that you
are looking for.

Hey Charlie,

Love stinks that is one of the worst feelings. A good time to use your
friends for support, take time to grieve, be angry, sad, etc. before jumping
back out there. Only way through the feelings is through them,
unfortunately. Take care
