Women weigh in on their Top 5 essentials for getting over a breakup…

Friends

Boyfriends come and go, but girlfriends are forever! Our girlfriends hold our hands, make us laugh, and see us thru even the toughest heart traumas. Let’s hear it for the ladies!

Comfort Food

Chocolate may top the list, but other must-have comfort foods include pudding, mashed potatoes, ice cream, wine, and cookies. Believe it or not, vegetables do not make the list.

Physical Activity

Maybe we’re just trying to work off all the cookies. Or maybe it’s the revenge factor. But nothing helps us heal quite like an intense workout regimen that kicks up our endorphins and trims our thighs.

TLC

When going thru a breakup, it’s important to treat your tender psyche to a day of pampering. A day at the spa, a relaxing bubble bath, or even just some snuggling with your 4 legged friends will do the trick!

Time

While there are no quick fixes, nothing works like good old fashioned time and space. So allow yourself to wallow, get mad, cry, pout, binge, and eventually, you’ll move on.
