There's a trivial conversion (best viewed with fixed pitch font):

                                 BOOL bBreak = FALSE;
while(..)                        while(!bBreak && ..  )
{                                {
   ...// text1                      ...//text 1

   if( condition )                  bBreak = condition;
      break;                        if( !bBreak )
                                    {
   ...// text2                         ...// text 2
}                                   }
                                 }

I'm not saying that right side is prettier, just that such conversion is 
always possible. In face, you can write such a convertor and run your 
"breakful" code through it just before code reviews.
Enclosing the loop in a set of { } brackets would localize bBreak.
