Catherine, I know how disappointing it is to fall off the wagon YET AGAIN, and have to pick yourself up YET AGAIN, but try to recognize that you are NOT starting all over again. You have all the knowledge that you've already learned. You are starting from a different place. There are some people who do not turn to food when they are emotional, but many, many people do turn to food, so try not to think of that as a personal weakness. I turn to food, but I try to stay away from the junk-y foods...instead of donuts, I might have whole grain bread with peanut butter, sliced banana and honey. Or I make homemade macaroni and cheese (total comfort food), but use whole wheat pasta. Not to say I'm perfect, lol, because beer, wine and chocolate regularly make an appearance in my grocery cart! But, I try to mostly eat foods with nutrients, so I don't feel physically crummy on top of feeling emotionally crummy. I think getting your body back to feeling good physically is the first step in feeling better. Get through the next couple of days of working as best as you can, striving for fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. Know it won't be perfect, but it's only a few days, and then you can make it a priority to get to the grocery store. You definitely made a good decision by ending the relationship (you deserve someone who motivates you to do better, and who strives to be better himself), but major changes are always a stressful, even if they are good changes.
