Whilst there's nothing inherently unique in this approach, why had I never been able to get in shape, despite having been to the gym over the years? What I think happened was the reason, or my why I wanted to get in shape became a driving force that was a pushing factor."

It's a well-known fact that breakups can take a serious toll on our mental health, as rejection can often lead to feelings of depression and low self-esteem. However a breakup can also take its toll on our physical health, since an unhappy parting of ways can often make us feel apathetic towards exercise and a balanced diet, in favour of alcohol, nicotine, junk food and lethargy as coping mechanisms.

One person who knows this all too well is Philip Moore. Philip was depressed after the end of his long-term relationship, and turned to comfort eating, ending up weighing more than 25 stone. He gained over five stone after splitting with his partner two years ago, and at his lowest felt suicidal.

He was prescribed antidepressants to help him deal with his mental illness, but medication seemed to have little effect on him. However, his GP then advised him to sign up to the NHS-funded Live Well Scheme; a fitness programme for anyone with a body mass index (BMI) over 45.

Despite having never set foot in a gym before, Philip took to the fitness programme like a duck to water and now believes that it helped him save his sanity. So far he's managed to shed six-and-a-half stone, finding new confidence and new love along the way. Philip now wants to become a personal trainer himself.

Commenting on his weight loss in a recent interview, he stated: "I was worried about my state of mind at the time, but my physical health was just as bad. I got on the treadmill and just began walking, but even after a few minutes of that, I was pouring with sweat. I realised that my body couldn’t do things that it used to do since I was always active as a child, but I decided to persist, even when it felt impossible."

He added: "My mental health deteriorated as my weight ballooned within a year of splitting up with my partner. I went up to 25 and a half stone, as I was scoffing pastries from the bakery counter at work and taking home junk food to eat in front of the TV. Things got so bad that I started to think about ending my life. But, after discovering the gym, I started doing hour-long sessions four times a week and even joined spinning classes and did cardio work-outs.

"It was incredible how much exercise improved my state of mind, too. It worked far better than any drugs. I never thought I would recover or find myself again, but so much has happened in a year. I now weigh 18 stone and, while I do want to lose more weight and get down to about 15 stone, I’m still beyond happy with my progress, as I’m healthier than I was even before the break-up ... I want other people who are struggling mentally and physically to know there is a way out, no matter how hard it gets."

When you go through a bad breakup, there a few ways to heal the heartache. You could gorge on junk food, go out with friends and get wasted, hire neurobiologists to erase all the memories of your ex like in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. But a healthier method is to hit the gym. After exercising regularly, you'll feel better about yourself. (And if your ex sees a pic of your totally ripped bod, they'll know what they're missing.)

Professional wrestler and actor John Cena recently broke up with fellow WWE star Nikki Bella. The pair dated for almost six years, and John proposed to Nicki at Wrestlemania. However, they called the marriage off at the last minute, and the relationship fell apart shortly afterward. One major source of conflict was having kids - Nikki wanted them, and John didn't.

On the most recent season of Nikki's reality show, Total Bellas, viewers watched the relationship fall apart. At one point, it seemed like they might get back together. John told Nikki he changed his on having kids, and that he was willing to get his vasectomy reversed so he could become a father. But in the end, Nikki decided separating was for the best. She felt like she "lost herself" over their the years, and compared their relationship to a "fairy tale" that "you just force yourself to believe."

August 9th would have been John and Nikki's six year anniversary. Nikki marked the occasion by posting a sweet message on Instagram: "You've changed me forever. And I'll never forget you." However, John marked the occasion by posting a shade-filled message on Twitter: "The promises you make mean nothing compared to those you keep." If that's referring to Nikki and their promise to get married, he still had major heartache.

Well, don't worry about John, because he's been hitting the gym, and got ridiculously ripped. He shared a video on Twitter talking about wrestler stuff - nobody's really listening to the words, or looking at his face. Fans are stunned by his transformation, and can't look away from his body. As one Twitter user commented, "It's like his veins have their own workout routine." (See what you're missing, Nikki?!)

On October 6, John Cena will return to the wrestling ring to take on Kevin Owens at the WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia. That may be what he was talking about in the video, but I can't be sure. I was so distracted by his veins and muscles he sounded like the teachers in Peanuts. The last time Cena wrestled was last April, when he defeated the legendary Triple H at the Greatest Royal Rumble.

And John's movie career continues to heat up. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cena is set to star in an action-thriller with martial arts legend Jackie Chan. So, it looks like he's doing just fine.

"Going out in the mountains has made exercising so much better for me, I definitely couldn't have gone to the gym in the morning, then back at noon and the evening," he said.

"I'm on a keto diet, there are a lot of aspects to it but I have a diet that's high in fat with lean protein and I've cut all carbs besides vegetables."

"Since going from fat to lean it's made everything better, my hair and skin look healthier, you can see my jawline instead of chubby cheeks and I have abs," he explained. "I'm really proud of my stomach, my belly used to be a real beer gut but it's going down and even my waist is slimming down too."

"It's the difference between looking like a dad and a son, I get told I look 15 to 20 years younger," he said.

"When you see the results, you get so much more motivation week by week when looking in the mirror, it's made me want to continue to try harder."
