Just dumped my gf of over a year, while we been together ive got fatter, lost my job and just generally got far too comfortable....she is heartbroken and im pretty upset about it, but I feel i need to get back in gym and go to uni which I couldn't do with her. Im ina lot of pain right now but I guess i deserve it, how do i stop these urges of getting back in contact with her?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Just dumped my gf...how do i stop myself from going back?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Why exactly couldn't you do that when you were with her?
Oh and, NO CONTACT!

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

No contact is the only way.

You can't stop them, but you CAN stop yourself from acting on them.Phoenixx said:
How to do that...if you pick up a hot pan and your hand starts burning, do you get on a forum and post, "Hey guys, I picked up this hot thing and my hand is burning...how do I set it down and not pick it up again??"
No, you put the damn pan down and don't pick it up again.
This is something you have to just do. The forum can't give you will-power. Finding something to do so you're not bored to death all the time can help.

You let yourself go and she noticed it. You practically became undesirable and the complete opposite of a challenge. You undid the reasons that attracted her to you in the first place.Phoenixx said:
It's not all lost though. A girl, is just a girl. Do this for yourself and make yourself a promise to respect yourself and body beyond any female and you will succeed.
Also, reading this thread entirely will help out you massively:

i would of loved to spend teh rest of my life with her but I just get too comfortable when im in a relationship I guess, She seemed to prefer me being like this and actively discouraged my gym routine which was pretty near perfect before we met. We have alot of good times together I just feel like I need this "change" in order to progress with my life.
The problem is not her it is me, if another woman came along would I be like this again? im not sure, but i guess now is not the time for a relationship. I don't really want to go out and bang lots of chicks as I feel I need to sort my future out first. Im pretty sure I could of stayed with this chick for a long time, got fat, had 2.5 kids with her and be stuck ina deadend job living at one of our parents lol but I guess i just want more and to sort it out now rather than later.
No contact is hard...really hard! ive been back at gym today and it seems like hard work and even though i was used to it before my brain doesnt like the thought of hard work now, guess i just need to grind through it which is alot easier without her as a comfort zone watching episodes of smallville instead of doing what i should be doing with my life.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
spending time with your friends will help.
looks like you identified something you didn't want in your life and took charge to make the change. Not many people would do that, they'd stay and be unhappy because they comfortable with it.
