You are not alone! I am happily divorced, and don't get much help with my 17 year old son. I know it's different than your situation, but it's pretty stressful dealing with him much of the time. I have found that when things are at their most stressful, that is when I wanted to reach for food. I am on a low carb diet. I started with dietdocor.com, and they explain it very well. It's a free, 2 week program, and I'm only on week 2, but my "desire" to eat has drastically decreased. Even when we have out "moments" I'm not reaching for something to put in my mouth. It's actually quite amazing, because I am a serious emotional eater.Good Luck! Hope this helps!
