I know the reason why.
My boyfriend just broke up with me on monday.
I haven't had anything since that morning.
I can't even force myself to eat.
What should I do?
My heart is too broken to eat.

Eat. Screw your boyfriend...he probably hasn't missed a meal. Don't do this to yourself over some guy.

Just keep drinking fluids until you get your appetite back. Your not going to die from starvation. You'll get your appetite back long before that's an issue.
Try drinking a Starbucks Frappuccino, or a milkshake. Or even a slim fast. Maybe toast or crackers and broth.
When my mother died, I didn't eat for 6 days. Even when I could eat, it wasn't much. Then when my brother died 5 months later, low appetite was the least of my worries. I'm still here, healthy, and doing just fine. As will you.
I do know, the second your able to eat a decent meal, your appetite will suddenly come back. Your grieving right now, so give yourself some TLC. Talk to your friends, and try not to allow yourself to feel isolated. It will only make it worse.

I understand your hurt all too well. If you feel like being company you should surround yourself with family and friends to take your mind off the hurt. If not, (most likely you won't), do some things that has made you happy in the past like maybe listening to some upbeat music or watching your favorite program or movie on t.v. Try to stay away from activities that will remind you of him or the past relationship though. Encourage yourself to move on. YOU will be the best motivator for yourself and only YOU can control your feelings. You can't live life in the dumps because of the way you feel. Wrap up that pity party and move on. Sooner or later your ex will realize what a mistake he made (they all evenutally do) and by then you will have found someone else who will appreciate your greatness and you will tell your ex to "kick rocks"!!!!!

I know broken hearts hurt a great deal but you are going to be hurt a lot more in the long run if you don't start eating. Even if you aren't eating a whole lot, a little is more than none. Get out and try to get over the feelings of your ex. You need to know that this is your life, and you only have one to live, so if you want to live long and healthy you need to take care of yourself now!

Sorry for that. But why should this cause you not to eat. Eat please and have patience in this matter. If you went this way for too long you will grow weak and even loose your beauty, a chance of your man admiring you will also be down. It is the time you ate well, became smart and had fun. You are yourself even without this man. Why underestimate yourself for a man who broke up with you? You should live to overdo whichever other lady he went for and wait he must be on his way back to you give a time for reconciliation if he comes but is you continue this way, who can go back to something which is deteriorating? Grow better and more admirable under all circumstances may be you deserve a better one than himself. It is all your fault not to eat my dear, from today I advice you to change and realize your better chances in life.

At least keep the fluids going. Milkshakes, pop, water, juices, etc.
Also, go to the dr., if you still cna't eat in a couple of days-see about depression.
Is the guy really worth you not eating, etc.? I don't think so. It's his loss, and your gain he broke up with you. There is someone better for you out there.
Take care. Start eating. even popcorn, toast, something.

I know how you feel. i lost a lot of weight when my ex and i broke up coz i wouldnt eat but i eventually got over him and i was engaged 4 months later so it all works out in the end. If you cant eat try and drink something like soup...i found it helped.

Go to your room. Have yourself a good cry. Listen to sad songs. Watch sad movies. Cry some more. Feel sorry for yourself. Go to sleep. Wake up and have a big breakfast. Start healing from the break-up. Slowly you will start feeling back to normal.

Get out with your friends and try to enjoy life, there will be more than one guy in your life before you settle down, so don't make yourself miserable over one guy. It's not always easy depending on how long you have been together but just know that he is probably getting on just fine and you need to do the same.......you only get one 1 life make it count :)

i know how hard this is. anytime my bf and i had gotten into a fight and he goes days w/out talking to me-i wouldn't eat either-i was so sad.
but eventually i had to eat b/c i started getting dizzy spells and even passed out once.
eat something small like a yogurt, bowl of soup (ramen noodles helped me alot), or some cereal.
you will end up in the hospital if you don't eat.
i know it's hard and your hurting so badly but i promise it will get better!!
