Answer 1

you shouldn't stop eating that's never a really good thing to do.

so go eat and smile =]

Answer 2

No you are not having heat attack ... trust me that will hurt you a lot .. and probably you won't be able to type this question.

If you got dumped, well that's find, it is not the end of the world.

Are you gonna die because you got dumped? ..

Pretty much NO,!

just get back to your habits, eat good food ... and do some exercises at home ...

if you feel angry, go to the gym and get it out of your chest ...

visit this blog .. you'll find some exercises and food tips ..

Answer 3

I totally understand.  I have been there, and lost a bunch of weight.  

Yes- it's bad to lose 10 pounds in 2 days.  Mostly cause this means that you are not getting enough nutrients.

The truth is that it is going to really suck for a while.  BUT you have to continue  living your life... you can't stop eating and sleeping.

You don't have to be scared.  It's not the end of the world.  When you are depressed, your whole body hurts.. and that is just the way it is.  

Just eat when you can, and take a multi vitamin to supplement what you are losing.  Stay hydrated too.. drink lots of water.  

I suggest making a big bowl of popcorn, watch some movies or an entire season of your favorite shows, and TRY to get your mind off of her. You deserve to be with someone who cares enough about you to not drop you for some other guy at random.

Get together with friends and family as much as possible.

Remember that the best revenge is to live well... so don't let her see that you are depressed.  

Answer 4

dont worry man... and dont stop eating

u cant really ever trust the scale. somedays u can weigh 5 or 10 pounds than the last because it might take longer for your stomach to digest your food.. dont worry though

Answer 5

Its just water weight, don't worry about it. When you feel better you will eat again and it will come right back. I feel your pain my man. Breakups are hard. I hope it all works out for you.

Answer 6

You can't really lose 10 pounds in 2 days.  That would equate to 35000 calories...  Anyway I'll assume you were exaggerating... you are just depressed/shocked.  Realize that you are not the first person and you will not be the last to go through a bad breakup.  I just broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years and it sucks.  It sucks a lot but you have to have the foresight and strength to see past it because the sun is going to rise tomorrow and you will look forward to new and better things.  For now I suggest talking to someone close to you because you need an ear to listen.  Talk it out, cry if you have to and then move on.  It's not the end of the world man, I've been there many many times and I promise you that you'll get through it but you have to help yourself.

Answer 7

dont stop eating.

even if u lost ur appetite you need to eat.

youll move on.

and youll meet another girl who will get you back on your feet.

but dont rush it, and dont just find any old rebound girl.

Answer 8

I'm sorry about the girlfriend.  Your symptoms are normal for someone going through a sad situation.  Don't worry, you will be yourself soon.  Heartache takes a little time to get over.  Make yourself eat though.

Answer 9

Yah, that has happened to me. I just tried to find things that might be appetizing like ice cream or oreos for the time being. You will snap out of it at some point. It sucks for now, but you will get through it, hang in there and stay strong.  You could be really dehydrated from not eating. Get some Gatorade and rehydrate yourself so you feel better. Or, you could be having an anxiety attack . Tell your parents so they can help you work through this. You dont have to be alone.You are young and there will be many girls, ENJOY it while you are young!  NEXT!
