I’ve gained 2. Stone since I left my ex too. I was told in need to relearn to love my self before I can beat this isuse. Its not easy after (detail removed by Moderator) years of being told I’m a lousy person and mum. My family are helping me re gain confidence. It took me 6 months to start shopping for my self with out wanting to ask if its to expensive or feeling if I need to ask if he likes what I want to buy. Start working on your confidence and self opinion first. To get away from a person who was hurting you being mentally or physical takes a lot of strength so you have that already. Now go to a mirror look at what you can see and find one thing you like about your self “my eyes are a bright blue ” I love the colour I see the same colour in my children’s. Start with the one and try to look for someting new tomorrow the more you find you like about your self the better you feel the easier it is to make the small changes to improve your self. Make sure your doing this for you no one else. When you are starting to lose weight try to pick a habit like biscuits when stressed and find a healthier answer I have cotton candy grapes they taste like candy floss but are grapes (aldi) change one habbit at a time. You’ll get there there’s no rush good luck
