Divorce and weight loss
| Sat, 09-02-2006 - 7:47pm |
Has anyone else noticed that divorce causes weight loss? I have lost 20 lbs that wouldnt go away until now. STBX has lossed weight too. I wonder if it is a common? Just a random thought. I get these the closer it gets to D date. 24 more days. Hope you all are having a good Labor Day weekend!

Yes...I lost about 40 lbs or in reality about 200 lbs if you count ex's dead weight! I told my friends it was a combination of a broken heart because ex turned out to be a not so nice guy and terror. I was scared to death I wouldn't be able to make it on my own. About 6 months later I got my first promotion at my job (hadn't worked in over 12 years) and a nice pay raise. Next thing I know those 40 lbs were coming back and I couldn't stop em!

Just after my Xh and i separated and i moved out of our house into a tiny apartment... i just couldn't eat... became worse when he said he wanted a divorce... when i stress i don't eat... so i lost 12 pounds and at 5' 6" and initially 122 pounds i looked like he!!... but 19 months later i have put it back on... plus some... and just the other day a bunch of guys i work with told me i look much better with some "junk in my trunk!"... LOL...no there wasn't any sexual harassment...i've just worked with most of them for 10+ years... and my BF likes the way i look... so i try and eat healthy, exercise... but i never want to be that skinny again!!!

It is just ironic because I was so miserable in our marriage and he would always say to me, "go work out, be happy with yourself...blah, blah, blah..." He would always be working out...trying to stay fit....all I have to say is Karma is a b****!!!
