I too made the decision that for me to fully move on I had to leave my ex's behind. So I actually defriended them on facebook. Not bc they were horrible people but seeing their new pics, friends, events, etc kept bringing up old memories. I want to move on and sometimes to do that you gotta be a lil selfish.

No snacking, no, no, no.

I've not snacked but I find it amusing that there's a word for this.

Girl, I placed my first order with Asos.com too! What a coinky dink. What'd you get? I got the Paul & Joe Alice in Wonderland tin.

I totally snacked on the ex in college which led to us getting back together before graduation which then led to several miserable years. Just say no to snacking!

it is so true. With ex's in the picture it is hard to be truly available to the new guy.

Ohhhh yeah. I'm an ex ex-snacker. Haha! As in, I used to do that. Then learned that it's just not fair to either parties involved!

hehe, "snacking" makes me giggle. I always tell my girlfriends that it's bad if they continue hanging out with their exes. They always end up going through more drama!

ASOS is a bit iffy. The sizing is really weird. I order and cross my fingers that stuff fits. My last order, 1 out of 6 things fit (and I'm not a crazy size, I'm a pretty standard 0-2). AND returning to the UK is a bitch and expensive. sigh. I hope it turns out better for you!

Ew, I don't like the "snacking" term. It doesn't seem to really get at what's going on — it's so clearly someone trying to start a new "label" fad. Anyway, I certainly agree with clearing one's life of toxic people…or even just people who are preventing you from moving on to bigger and better things.

Snacking on the exes is too messy- too emotionally involved and weird..

Asos though, is awesome! Love love love! I ordered a cute dress, see here http://www.obsessivelycompulsed.com/2010/03/in-my-closet-lady-in-red.html – It took about 2 weeks to get here (standard delviery). It fits a bit snug, but if I eat just one carrot a day, I'll be comfortably in it by Friday! Quality is good too!
