In the first couple of months after I found out about my ex-W's infidelity I lost about 20lb simply because I lost my sense of wanting to enjoy anything.

In the end I forced myself into a routine of eating at particular times - I have never really been a breakfast person so I skipped that - but made sure I had water or juice.

I found that preparing food nauseated me, but that I craved company - I solved both problems by walking out with workmates to get lunch made by someone else.

I tended not to eat in the evenings, unless I had my daughter at home (50% of the time) so I made food for her and doubled up.

Just look at food as fuel for a time.

Also - this may sound totally counter intuitive - burn lots of calories.

Take a run, or go for a swim, whatever - it ( a ) occupies time in focussed activity, ( b ) gets you meeting people, and ( c ) produces endorphins - which will raise your mood and may bring back your sense of hunger.

It's a shitty time for you, but if you keep yourself well, you will weather it better.
