If that doesn't work, stop eating breakfast (save it for lunch!).
. dehydration (most people are bad at telling when they are thirsty
. you are low on blood sugar and your body's trying to find something to fix that
. your stress / habits mean that your stomach chamicals aren't balanced.
Solutions:
. drink a couple of glasses of water.
. eat proper breakfast. Unlike this chap here (PBE6) it should be a whole grain cereal, with low sugar levels. Something with slow-release energy. I've no idea what's good in the US, but here it would be weetabix, oatmeal, oats, Shreddies, Shredded Wheat, All Bran, etc. Top this with some chopped fresh fuit - banana or apple or something not too acidic
. yoghurt is AMAZING. It'll settle your stommach and give you some energy. Low fat yoghurt is easy to find and really good. Even the stuff with sugar is not too bad, just as long as you get YOGHURT. Its real benefits are to your stomach and bowel. Eat it every morning for a week and you really will notice the difference.

Okay, so this started before the breakup, so it isn't completely emotion related. But nearly every morning, I am unable to eat due to sickness in my stomache. It could be the fact that I skipped breakfast before school for months, and now... I dunno. I'm sitting here in hunger pains, but also feel too sick to eat. Happens most mornings.
In addition, I haven't been eating much because I don't eat when I'm broken hearted.

Proper by whose standards? Show me a rural Chinaman who eats Shitabrix with bananas for breakfast and I'll give you $50.

Originally posted by CoconutHi Coconut. I'm so sorry. Hugs. Yes I have had this issue too when my ex upset me a lot and also when he played games with me all of the time with my emotions I mean and I wouldn't eat or drink much because I was too hurt and yes like you broken hearted. He was much older than me too. I am 35 and he is 57 and so it really really hurt. But I'm definitely way over that now because we don't speak anymore and I have a much better life for being away from him, got some more new friends and I don't mind at all being single. I feel too vulnerable right now to even think of having another boyfriend and I don't really mind if I don't have one for ages either. I'm much better off emotionally for now being single because it really really hurt. My heart goes out to you Coconut and hope you can heal soon. It does take time though. Bestest wishes Mary

Originally posted by CoconutWhat has worked for me is 1 or 2 slices of toast with honey every morning. If I wait too long, my stomach gets upset. Dude, every guy has gone through a break-up, so thick skin is the result. Do you think balance is focusing more on how you can help someone less fortunate than yourself? Trust me, my ex-girlfriend told me a week before my Mother died of cancer, that my life was too depressing for her. Be a survivor, not a victim! 🙂

I realized that when i did not sleep enough it get worst.
My advise is that you try to sleep enough, and try to eat something, gradually increasing the amount of food.
And dont eat too much at night before you go to bed.
Sorry if my english is not so good

Originally posted by MaryRoseI also wanted to say but didn't get a chance yesterday that what got me back to eating normally and feeling more right in myself after my break up with my ex was just getting out for walks all the time in my local township, and it didn't matter if I ddin't meet anyone I knew to have a talk to, the main thing was is that I got myself out and was with people. Didn't matter that they were strangers and sometimes I would get lucky and see someone I knew and chew the fat with them for a bit. Then started going to the library to look at books and check my emails and stuff and just having people around you sometimes helps an awful lot. I only learned through this that we are social animals and we get all depressed and everything if we don't have people around us. We need other people's presence even though they might be strangers, the main thing is not to isolate yourself. Anyway these things helped me and I got back to eating normally and sleeping normally and I'm 35 years old and definitely much better off for not having a partner at the moment. I'm more myself if you know what I mean. And besides I know that if I'm meant to I will find someone really really nice next time who will appreciate me for me and not try to hurt me. There are really nice souls out there just got to be really patient that's all. Hope what I say helps you Coconut. Bestest wishes Mary
