Get a Real Lunch

After one bologna sandwich too many, you've lost all faith in your lunch-making abilities. Fill a Thermos with leftovers, toss veggies with last night's chicken or saute artichokes with garlic and oil for imaginative, quick and (cheap) healthy lunches.

It's All In My Mind

Moonflower

My break up was hard for me.  I moved across the country from him.  I felt lost and wish I was with him again, but in reality it was all in my mind.  I could not get him out of my mind.  I was back with him and not living in the now moment.  I was starting a new life and I just would not let go of the past with him.  I finally just had to give it up that I was not going back.  He is just a memory and not in my world that I live in now.  Going back time and time again in my mind, only hurts me and keeps me stuck.  I know  this to shall pass, and once again I will be happy.

I too am lost. My gf, someone I chased for 10 years, dated for 1 (btw I did not know we were bf / gf until she broke up with me) told me I was not the one. I can't get her out on my head. It's been 7 weeks since, she wants to be a friend. She was / is the only person I truely loved. I am lost with her, and I know it's wrong for me to be. I've lost 20 lbs in a month, can't eat, sleep. work, or do much of anything. This hurt... I don't think I will ever recover.
