From journaling about his perceived flaws to transforming unhealthy fitness obsessions into balanced routines, his systematic work on himself challenges stereotypical notions of how men handle emotional pain.

Okay guys, welcome to the Break Up Diet. Today we have a really exciting guest and someone I've known for like 10 years because we just worked this out, Jacob Price. Sup guys, how's it going? So who are you, what's your story? Where do I even start with my story though? You've just gone on a dating show.

It's all about being honest. So dating show, all about being honest. You go into this honesty box. Yeah, it didn't really work in a lot of favors for a lot of people, because people were compulsive liars. Was there any time when somebody genuinely didn't think that they lied, that it came up as a lie? I think people got lost in their lies,

because I think, we didn't really know, because obviously it was meant to be a high tech, like sort of lie detector, but they were generally like saying I was 100% telling the truth, and it'd come out as a lie. So it was a bit hard. So I don't know, either they're just trying to bullshit their lie

or yeah, deep down, we didn't know, we couldn't read it. We couldn't understand if it was reading you or if it was how it was actually working out. So what's the premise of the show actually? So the premise is basically everybody lies in relationships these days. Like everybody lies, even if whether it's a white lie or not.

And this one is about basically trying to be honest. Well, you have to just be honest because there's money on the line. And every time everyone's honest, you'd win money. So the grand prize was a hundred grand in total, but yeah, there was a lot of lies. And every time someone would get caught out, the money would just disappear.

Buckle up bitches. This is gonna just disappear. Buckle up, bitches. This is going to get bumpy. This is the breakup diet. A big favor that we want you guys to do is basically, could you please, wherever you're watching this, be it YouTube, Spotify, Apple podcasts, anything, could you please follow us, subscribe, whatever, because it really helps. We're a growing podcast, so every bit of support helps.

We really appreciate it. So you do come in with your existing partner, or are you paired up with someone else? No, so you're paired up, so you're technically paired up with what is meant to be your ideal woman. So I described what was my perfect girl. So someone who was active, not very materialistic, adventurous, sort of throw herself in the deep end sort of person.

And then, yeah, that's how I got basically matched up with that person. That's how I got on the show. Oh, so you're already matched up and then you can't switch or you can switch. You can switch throughout, but realistically you don't because everyone gets coupled up and obviously attraction and shit, so everyone was quite attracted to their partners. Were you attracted to yours? Oh yeah, not so attracted to mine. Oh God, is this what you got called out on?

No, no, she was a lovely girl, we're just very different people. I think from the beginning we sort of friendzoned each other. We knew nothing was gonna come from that. Was this like a said thing or this was like a thing that you know just kind of... No, no it was very obvious from the beginning. I made well I made it very clear. So what could imagine you go on it and you're like oh... Well you have to yeah I was a bit I did do a bit of a white lie as soon as I entered because obviously I had you when you get revealed who you're matched with you get given an envelope

and you have to read out three things about that person and obviously then you read it and then you get told who you're matched with. And yeah, I was like, wow, I'm blown away, which technically is a lie, I was not blown away. She's a lovely girl, but I just, when you're on TV, you can't just go, oh well, oh gosh.

You can't do that, can you? So you have to, in that sense. Yeah, I had to lie. Have you ever lied in a relationship? Oh yes, I've lied lots of times. Like a white lie or more like a bad? Done both, I've done both lies. What's the worst lie? Well, when you cheat and you don't tell a partner.

Yeah, fair. That is, I think you can't get any worse than unfortunately cheating. Yeah, fair. I mean, if they get any worse than unfortunately cheating. Yeah, fair. I mean, if they didn't ask. No, Elmer. They did ask as well, and I was just obviously denying it. Because it's the moment you shit yourself,

you're just like, yeah, I didn't cheat. And then you're like, yeah, fuck. Did you ever have to, did you ever confess to the lie? Got caught out. Okay, but did you say, yeah, that happened, or you just to the grave? I mean, not now, but to the grave. No, I did eventually have to, yeah that happened, or you just to the grave? I mean not now, but like to the grave. No, I did eventually have to be like fine yeah,

I did cheat, and then that's when I called it a day. Then I was the one like, right let's call it a day, rather than try to continue a relationship, because obviously it must have been dead in the water. If your head's looking elsewhere and you're able to cheat, must mean there is something wrong in the relationship, so that's why I was like right, let's call it a day. Really?

Yeah, I didn't wanna fight for it, because I knew I've done wrong. What's there to fight for, you know? You've done it wrong, you've done the wrong. But do you not think sometimes when you've, I don't know, been together a long time and then it's exciting to get talked to by somebody else, like that type of thing?

Or is like you only mean it when it's cheating if you have sex with someone? Yeah, but flirting's innocent. I think if you've got some other people here. I don't think flirting's innocent. I think flirting's very innocent. If it's just words. I'm also you've got some other people here. I don't think flirting is innocent. I think flirting is very innocent. If it's just words. I'm also so.

If it's just words, listen, that's how most people end up in relationships, by the words and not the actions. I'm so comfortable with saying my partner, if she went out on night out, if she was talking to another guy flirting, that's completely fine for me. That is completely innocent.

As long as you don't break the rules off that you guys agree on or like give a number or exchange social media or something. So there's no contact. So then it's literally like right now we could all be flirty and then I go right goodbye and never see you again. Like no one will know. And go home to your wife.

Yeah and then it's completely innocent. There's nothing to it. Because there's no boundaries crossed. Okay I get where you're going with that purely for the if there's nothing being like no number. I get where you're going with that purely for the, if there's nothing being, like no number, no- If you do that, then that's cheating. That is straight up cheating

because then you're giving that other person the opportunity to reach out to you and potentially convince you, persuade you to do something else. Yeah, that's basically you're opening the door for your relationship without your partner knowing. What if you're like out and you see them and you have a little flirt,

and then you see them again and you have a little flirt, and then you're like Oh I don't really know about that one I've not thought that far ahead because I did I know I guess then yeah That person has to lay down some ground like some rules and be like look I have a partner And what if what if they um asked you if they asked you if you have a girlfriend at that time What would you have said is this back when I cheated? No, no, no when you were flirting with the people at the bars or whatever.

Well, it depends which relationship you're in. Like in my last... I like the honesty I'm living for. It's more, if you're in a comfortable relationship, then obviously you should be saying, yeah. But at the time when I cheated, I definitely, in multiple occasions, I said, I'll single. So I cheated on all grounds, like did the physical

to the flirting, to the exchanging numbers, to entertaining. Would you not be scared like that she would know or you just didn't actually care? I guess you're a bit scared, but you're deep down, probably don't, you don't really care because you've checked out of the relationship. You must have checked out,

because if you did care about that person, you would not be doing that. Yeah, fair. And you learn from it once you get caught out because, oh gosh, the grief you get from it, not worth it. Really? Oh yeah, it's fucking horrible. Did she do anything that was like, like, like-

Nothing really. You need to know so that I can do it to whenever I get my next boyfriend, I'm gonna- Well, hopefully he won't cheat on you. Yeah, I know, but we live in a world where this happens quite a lot. Yeah, no, I, she didn't do anything too major, but it was more just the speculations all the time

and whenever she'd go out, all the girls would talk shit. And it was just, every time, every night, she'd go out for drinks, I'd get the phone calls of her crying and blowing up my phone. It was just long. And I'd say the breakup was longer than the actual relationship. That's wild.

Because it was just constant having to reassure her and just to make sure she was okay, but then I was just like, I've completely tapped out of the stage, but I'm still trying to make sure she's okay. But then I was just like, I've completely tapped out the stage, but I'm still trying to make sure she's okay. And so you're a better person than I am because I would have blocked. I'm sorry. I'm not dealing with someone else's emotional needs when I'm done. But I guess because I am, she was in that situation because of me.

Yeah. You know what I mean? I put her in that bad place. So I sort of needed to sort of comfort her until she was in a better place. But how can you really comfort somebody when you're just like, you're checked out and you just, you're cheating? You know what I mean? Like, what can you really say?

It's just hard. It's because she, well, the person liked to drink a bit. So it was, and she used to go out a lot. So that would obviously never help the situation. And being in this area, it's a very gossipy drama-filled area that that encouraged most shit as well. So I was like, gosh, yeah. So you think other people made your breakup also way harder?

Oh, 100%. Actually to the point on social media, I outed myself. No. What do you mean? You just put up a post being like- I put a post up, right, guys, basically let's cut the bullshit now. I did this, this and this. Please leave this person alone. So then there was no way any speculations could come about. I fully just out on myself and then all of a sudden, do you know what the funniest thing is though about that? The amount of girls that messaged me being like, you're amazing, oh my gosh.

And I was just like, somehow that worked my favor. No. I came across so good to all the girls from saying I was a cheater. Ladies, stand up. You may know. How cool is that? That's what I saw. But it is cool, because it's somehow me saying

I was a bad person made every girl go, you're a great guy. I was like, thank you. Thank you, I'll take you out this week. See you later on. I can also treat you very bad. So yeah, until you see what you get can also treat you very bad. So yeah, until it's useful, you get. That's why. Yeah.

It just shows how everyone's so messed up. No, truly. Like it just sums up how messed up the world is. What? So they would just slide in being like, oh. They're like, oh my gosh, you're so everything. That's so amazing. You're such a nice guy.

You're so honest. Like so many lovely messages. And I was just like, maybe they just didn't really read what I posted. You're so honest, but you like lovely messages and I was just like maybe they just didn't really read what I posted. You're so honest but you're like no. Yeah I was like fine. After the six months of consolation after the breakup what's been the breakup diet for you? Well actually I went straight into a new relationship. Oh the rebound. But I was with her for two and a bit years. Was it with someone you cheated with? No. Okay. Whole new girl, wholesome, awesome girl.

Did that end badly, the next one, or not really? We ended in two different ways. Well, it was very confusing. So we ended because she went to Mykonos for a season. So obviously I was like, that can't work out. You're doing a summer in Mykonos. What if you went to visit at her? I actually did go out, but luckily she had left by then

because we had already called it a day and it just didn't really work because realistically we all know what those sort of places are like. It's sex, drugs, and basically rock and roll, isn't it? And a lot of house music. And I was like. A lot of house music, I like that, the small little details.

Yeah, so I was just like, yeah, you go do you out there, let's call it a day. Then she actually came back and then she was, like she said, on the hunt for me, because she wanted to get back for me. And then we actually just ended up getting back together, but then she sort of disappeared and she went and did a TV show. Oh, which wasn't so pleasant because I thought we were getting back together and we were having chats about kids and stuff. And then one day she just disappeared and went on a show. And I was like, ouch.

Have you ever spoken to her about it? Yeah, because when she came back from the show, we got back on, we got back together again. Watch her, watch her, watch her. She went on Too Hot to Handle. Stop it. We were. We had someone on.

Yeah, we had someone from Too Hot to Handle on. You were in the Dazzle, it was her. No, it wasn't her, it was a guy. We had someone on set. What season? Yeah, we had someone from T.O.T. to handle on. You were in the data, it was her. No, it wasn't her, it was a guy. Oh, fine. Yeah, so she did the last season. But did you like break up and then like a week later? Because, or did she film it when you were dating? No, so basically, obviously she went away to do,

she did a season of Mykonos and then while she was there, she must've been doing like all the applications, she was single, so doing all the applications to get on the show and they must have got accepted. We kickstarted up again, started fully dating, so like full on relationship, gifts, dating, everything as you do. I was like, fuck yeah, this is it, we're on now.

And then I remember it was literally a Monday morning we're in bed cuddling, talking about stuff, talking about kids, Christmas together. Next day I was like, hmm, no messages, don't know where she is, bit strange. She said she was going to Saudi for some work, I was like, hmm, no messages. Don't know where she is, but strange. She said she was going to Saudi for some work. I was like, fine. Obviously it's not filmed in Saudi. And then I was going down like the Stalkerish route and I was like, this is fucking weird. Nothing's delivering. So then I went through her Instagram, all the casting agents

of 2 Out of a Handle following. I was like, oh, so then I did the digging. I was like, right, let's see what film, what shows being filmed at the moment. So two other handles being filmed. I was like, oh gosh, this is really adding up right now. This is not cool if this is the case. And so obviously for six weeks, I'm in bed. And I'm like, sweet, she's in bed with another dude right now.

And then you have to watch it. Did you watch it? No fucking chance. It was not fun. Oh, I'm sorry. That was six weeks of fricking hell. Is it too hard to handle like straight away, it comes out or it goes up?

No. So it came, so then she came back from it and then it came out in July. And what, when she came back, did you ever run into her? Did you ever hit her up? She appeared at my door one day and we just got back together. Again?

Yeah, I know, so stupid. Why would you get back together? You were just heartbroken. I guess because I just wanted to be with her and then started dating again and then we just called it a day, like five months after. Mutually? Yeah, and then that was the best decision we ever made.

That's when like full freedom kicked in for me. I was just like best year of my life. Because you came to it mutually, so you had a nice breakup. Are you friends with her now? Yeah, ish, like. Friendly, like if you pass. Yeah, friendly, like whenever I see her, Because you came to it mutually, so you had a nice breakup? Are you friends with her now? Yeah-ish. Friendly, like if you pass. Yeah, friendly.

Whenever I see her, I'll always go say hello. I'll happily give her a hug and have a chat with her and catch up with her. Oh my gosh. That's quite a nice civil breakup now. Although she did message me whilst I was in America last two weeks ago, being like, can't wait to watch you on Honesty Box.

And I was like, what do you want from that? That's a weird message. Yeah. Maybe she meant it in a nice way. Really? That kind of thing. Everyone else thinks it was a little bit of a calculated message.

Why? To do what? As in either to sort of keep tabs on me or to see if she can still get me. Or, cause obviously me going on the show is a bit like, she is always, she was the limelight girl. And that's like, oh, potentially. You're like, bitch, it's mine now. Yeah, I've taken the spotlight.

So, so I guess we all think it's more in the sense of, she was like, oh, trying to get the upper hand on me. What are boys actually doing after a breakup if it's like an abrupt one though? Are you going out straight away? Oh, it's reckless. Yeah, if it's an abrupt, unhealthy breakup, it's reckless. It's a lot of going out.

And then after, do you like process it later? Then you process it, then you're depressed, then you hate yourself, then you guys, it's reckless. It's a lot of going out. And then after you've like process it later. Then you process it, then you're depressed, then you hate yourself, then you guys, I feel like. Straight away. Straight away feel it, we go and fuck ourselves over and then we regret it and then it's like, oh damn it, too late. And that's when you start dating loads

or try to just distract yourself even more, which is realistically not what you even wanna do. No, I actually think that that is the best, not to necessarily have sex with somebody else, but I actually do think the best way to get over someone is to get somebody else. And this is a new recent thought, because of the situation, right?

I'm not seeing anybody else, but it does just distract you. 100% distracts you. And like, and I'm not saying going and sleeping with somebody else if you don't want to, like whatever, but it's just the talking to someone because I think that's what you miss. There's a comfort.

It's the comfort of having someone to sort of, yeah, at the end of the day or whenever, just before going to bed to be like. It's also weird to break up because you go from like knowing everything about this person or like the every day to day and then you go to nothing. Knowing their whole lives to not knowing

what the fuck they are or who the fuck they are anymore. Where they are. Yeah, it's very strange. That's the thing, you're mourning someone who's very much alive, who's very much kind of like in your vicinity of life, like in your friendship groups or stuff like that. It's weird.

The transition's nuts. It is strange, but I guess it's part of life. And it's fun. I enjoy it now. But I've, but I guess it's part of life. And it's fun. I enjoy it now. But I've also, what I've learned from all these different breakups and from like the last one, I've become so cold now with girls. So I do-

Because you're traumatized. Which is because I just don't, yeah, I don't want to let anyone in anymore. Yeah. Yeah, everyone's very guarded now, I've noticed. Everyone, but I guess because everyone just thinks everyone's gonna cheat on everyone. Like everyone's got such a bad picture of dating

and relationships. Everyone just goes, oh, someone's gonna cheat. Which is terrifying to think that that's everyone's mindset now. Yeah, it's true, isn't it? Well, that's why the show's like, you're when you're on with the lying. To be honest, yeah, I was definitely

the most honest on the show. That goes without a doubt. Fair. Like, yeah. Well, I'm not afraid to be honest and tell people what I think, which ideally I was hoping I'd be then matched with someone that I'd actually want to be with, but that didn't happen.

Yeah, but now you're gonna find somebody else, or you said already kind of have... Yeah, sort of dating someone right now, but also that's got like an end date to it, which sort of makes no sense. She's moving back to Australia, so we're sort of dating, having fun, but then it's like I'm now going through the mindset of do I want to get attached to her? Because if I get attached to her then what then I have to just go fuck it now. It's good buys Yeah, Australia's very far. Yeah, not so I'd move but it's also nuts to me for someone realistically I don't think that's the right decision right now Only, you know

Do boys go and talk to other boys when they're going through a breakup or do they not even like discuss it? Guys aren't very open about it. It's quite strange. I'm very reserved anyways. I wouldn't really go and speak to anyone about my stuff. Well my dating life I keep it normally very private. I'm like right now. Dating show, dating partner. Yeah so it's changed recently. I'm normally very private, but that's gone out the window for some reason. But no, with guys, we don't really communicate about it. I've got a few friends who will definitely phone me up when they have arguments with their girlfriends

and sort of tell us what's going on, but. Not the breakup, not the actual. No, they never really go into details. They sort of try to just move past it. And they all actually speak really highly of their girls, even if they break up. That's nice. Which is quite refreshing.

But then I'd say my friends are just very nice guys so they wouldn't, no matter what happens they're never bad enough anyone. They single? Yeah. A few of them are. Yeah. They go real well. I was gonna say they go.

Oh no, no, no. Yeah, they're still traumatized. Yeah, a bit fresh I think. Oh, fair. Yeah. And we're like waiting for you to do that kind of thing. I'm just like, yeah, you're the one that's like, oh, it's nice to have a distraction. No, yes, yes, listen, it is, but.

But what? Come on, distract yourself. No, I'm okay. I can always introduce you to this. No, no, no, it's okay. We can do like a three-way date. Are we allowed to bring the cameras? No.

The aftermath. Yeah. cameras. No. The aftermath. We're sat here all depressed from our breakup, our situationship breakup and I'm like, I hate Jacob for introducing us to his friends. They're not nice. If they do, we'll Jacob. Fuck you, Jacob. Yeah, what have you done? But yeah, okay.

So you've had a breakup when it's been nice. You've had a breakup when you've kind of gone in and out multiple times. Does it just get easier when you've done like, you've broken up a few times? Yeah, it gets easier, but also now I'm in the mindset I'm not gonna get in a relationship until it's the one. Same.

I'm having that as well. I'm at, well, I'm not at that age, but I am at that age now where I do wanna think about it a bit more and not really, I'll date, but not take it seriously until I know she's actually the one. And then I'll fully put all my eggs in one basket. And then hopefully that will lead to no breakups.

I think you should put your eggs in lots of different baskets when you're first dating, like, and spread yourself out. I always find that too hard. It's too stressful. I'm like, I'm obsessed. I'm like one person. I'm like, wow. Depends how early on are we talking to, about. I'm like, as soon as I meet them. Oh yeah, that's too stressful. I'm like getting obsessed. I'm like one person, I'm like wow. Depends how early on are we talking about. I'm like as soon as I meet them.

Oh yeah, that's way too soon. I'm very much, yeah, at the beginning, yeah, spread. Talk to lots of girls. Not just at the beginning. Should've been under a relationship. But yeah, no, definitely I'm a believer in, you should be talking to loads of people at the start just to sort of make sure that she's the one who stands out.

It really shows that she is. It's like a job interview. It is. May the best candidate win. But it is if she's gonna be, or he is gonna be the one for potentially the rest of your life. Yeah.

You wanna make sure, you don't wanna just jump and biddle that one person thing. Yeah, for sure. That's gonna work for no reason. Ever regretted something after a breakup? Like, actually. The way you've reacted, maybe. Yeah, the way that you've reacted.

Obviously you've regretted things, but I mean like, you've said something or you've done something and been like, oh, I probably shouldn't have done that. Or you should have been like, I wish I did it worse. I don't actually know. I don't think I've ever regretted anything. I don't, I try not to regret anything anyways in life.

Fair, that's the best way to be. You do everything for a reason. Unless you're very drunk, which then obviously takes a bit of control of you. But no, I don't believe in regret. So what would you do if you couldn't let go of someone? If you can't let go of someone, well, that one's a lot of work.

Then you gotta self-improve and work on yourself. No, that is literally like therapy. Yeah. Like deep therapy. Yeah, then you gotta self-improve and work on yourself. No, that is literally like therapy. Yeah. Yeah. Like deep therapy. Yeah, or you just find a passion or something that you'd like to do. Like a lot of people's gymming, like I turned to, yeah, I turned to the gym

after my breakup and just fell in love with sport. And since that's all I really, that's all I seem to care about now. Like I'll prioritize gymming over going on dates and talking to girls. Cause I think it's just so much it's such a better way to release yourself. It's better for your body because you're not drinking.

So much. Yeah, just better in every single aspect. You feel so good after you work out. Yeah. So I would just 100% 100% recommend sport. But that's for me. People go to people go to alcohol, people get food. So yeah, it really depends. What would you say to somebody going through a breakup right now? Oh, gosh, good luck.

I'm not jealous. Good luck. It sucks to be you. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes right now. Fair, fair. Sorry about that. Out of all your relationships, what's like the biggest takeaway?

It could be about yourself or it could be about how you see other people. Biggest takeaway from it would probably be you gotta love yourself before you can actually fully love them. Just because if you don't, like now I'm in this place where I could probably find the love of my life

because I'm so comfortable and happy with who I am. Previously I wasn't. I had so many insecurities that I didn't know of and flaws that I didn't know of. So obviously I put them on them and which obviously- Oh, so destructive. Yeah, it just doesn't work in a relationship because then you put everything on them and then unfortunately they receive the shit end of it.

Don't you reckon the second you love yourself, everything just seems more clearer and you seem to attract the better person for you? Yeah, recently I've had a lot of attention. But you can easily say no to the wrong people kind of thing now, as opposed to just saying yes because for the sake of them being attractive. Yeah, you don't just entertain anyone anymore.

You can be a bit more selective with, loving yourself attracts the right people. And I've had that recently. And obviously, like I said, I'm sort of dating a girl. And on paper, I think she's perfect to a T for me. So the only flaw is with her, is she fricking moves away soon. And it is so that's where I'm sort of- Maybe love will take you to Australia.

Oh, I would consider it, but it is just like, that is a big move. Yeah, but you don't have to decide straight away. No, I've got a bit of time, but it is, yeah, you got to fully be comfortable with who you are now to make sure that person gets the best side of you. Cause realistically you don't want that person to have a shit side of you. And then the relationships is gonna be toxic. Absolutely not, they don't deserve it.

No. Yeah. And it's vice versa. You sort of hope the person you're getting with or dating is also in love with themselves. That's actually something now, like my ex-boyfriend, still hard to say, but like my ex-boyfriend, still hard to say, but like my ex-boyfriend, like I didn't love myself before I dated him, and the moment I started to love myself, I like met him.

So it's like funny, isn't it? You do, you just attract the right people. And I've even just first like social media, but I've noticed that a lot more girls are showing attention. But do you think this is the TV show? I don't, well, I think it's- A mixture. Just a mixture and just, I'm living such a nicer,

better, more active, fun life. Do you have any dating red flags? I mean, you sound a little bit like a red flag, but not a little bit. I was, I was. A little bit, you're changed. I'm 100% changed. Cause he loves himself now.

I'm a walking huge green flag now. Okay, okay. What's green walking huge green flag now. Okay. What's green? Give us the five green points. Loving, super caring, super self-aware, very chivalrous. When you walk on the side of the road, I'm always the one on the side of the road. She's on the inner part. That is good.

That is a big point. Yeah. I'm holding another good flag, some green flag. You've got two more. I love to cook. Okay. And like very much the one wake up in the morning, make the bed, coffees, everything. It's obviously great to wake up next to. I don't know, I'm just gonna, I don't know. You're nice and you're fun.

Yeah, there we go, thank you. You're welcome. The meal breakup diet. Gymming, sobriety. You can not get hungry, because girls are normally for a lot of the time, like the first day of- We lose our appetite after a breakup. You lose your appetite after a breakup. For me, no, my breakups have all led to

all different things. The first one was a lot of alcohol, second one was just about fitness, and sort of became more self-aware of myself, and more, I guess, vain in the sense that I was like, fuck it, I'm gonna improve and I'm gonna come so much better. And try to, I sort of journaled in a way

that I just wrote down all my, or what I thought were my flaws. And I was like, right, I need to change as many as I can of these and improve as many of these. What were the flaws that you were focusing on? Well, a lot of them were, my main one was actually financial. I was, my last relationship, I was very uptight.

And then soon as it ended, I was like, fuck it. I've got lots more cash now so I can just have fun. So I actually just ended up spending a lot more and not really caring and being less frugal. And then working out, I got so addicted that it became unhealthy. But so I transformed that into more of a healthy obsession, not an unhealthy one.

Same with my food, I had a calorie count, which wasn't balancing to the amount I was working out. So I sort of changed that and just relaxed on food. So sort of, yeah, just everything and just be less stressful and just more go-over-the-flow sort of person. That's so nice. Yeah, that's very inspiring.

Yeah, and it's so good that you're so self-aware and like actually are taking the time to reflect your previous relationships and hopefully take it as lessons for the future. Yeah. The thing is you sort of have to, to move forward in life, you can't sort of hold on and begrudge what's happened. And obviously there were flaws in both parties of the relationship.

So can't blame it a hundred percent on the other partner. So you got to realize you had some, so you might as well try and change those. Absolutely. You've only got control well try and change those. Absolutely. You've only got control of like how you act. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I did. Well, thank you. My God.

It's been so insightful. Yeah, so good. We really appreciate your wisdom. I know. It's been so refreshing. It started a little bit toxic and then it's gone full circle. I'm like, wow.

Yeah, you've won us at the end. I know. No wonder all those girls are sliding in like, oh, let's go. I'm next. Yeah. Thank you so much won us at the end. I know. No wonder all those girls are sliding in like, oh, let's go. I'm next. Thank you so much for being on the breakup diet, Jacob. It's been the best. Yeah, it's been brilliant. you
