My boyfriend pissed me off and now all I want to do is eat!

  • Okay, so today I found out that my boyfriend was flirting with some girl he knew from a while back through the website myspace.com. He claims he was just being friendly and joking around, but who jokes about strip teases, etc. when they're not flirting??

    I have been up and down in my weight, and recently I joined WW again and have lost about 4 lbs. so far. I'm down to 171 and up until today I was really proud of myself. But seeing what he did makes me feel bad about myself and our relationship. Is he bored with me or doesn't like the way I look so now he's going elsewhere?

    I want to do one of two things - eat like crazy or not eat at all. I didn't even set foot in the kitchen this morning because I was afraid of the former. I know that I don't want to ruin what I'm accomplishing over this, but can someone just reassure me that they also resort to feeling this way when something happens? Or offer advice?

    He says he loves me... men are such dogs.
  • im so sorry I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
  • yep, that's me!
    I can relate. I would either run to the kitchen and eat - or not eat anything. Either way I ended up feeling miserable. The difference now is that I make myself stop and resolve whatever is going on. If I don't resolve the stress, problem or fight w/my hubby , I end up eating until I feel full or much worse!!. My advice is this - bottom line, it doesn't matter if he was flirting or not. What matters is that he hurt you. If he cares that it hurts you when he flirts online, he'll stop. We should care enough to acknowledge when something we do (on purpose or not) hurts the ones we love. I send my best to you. Eat healthy, take it slow. Anyway - that's my take on it!!
    Take care.
