It will hurt, and it will hurt for quite a while to come. Pets really are the one creature that love you unconditionaly, even when you screw up royally. They don't care how you look, what your love life is like, or what your job is. They just care if you give them a pet and some love. Don't turn to food for comfort. Having a sick stomach will only make you feel worse.

If cooking is therapudic for you, get in the kitchen and experiment with new recipes and keep yourself busy. If you just can't manage the gumption to cook, maybe make a soup in the slow cooker. Keep it turned on low, an dhave a nice comforting cup of soup when you feel hungry.

Sometimes focusing on things like what to eat can help take your mind of worries. If it adds more stress though, don't worry about food right now. Just have LC food on hand and eat when hungry, don't worry about carb limits and such. You might not feel hungry at all, or able to stomach food, but try to have a small bite. You may be suprised how hungry you are after having a little, and if not it will at least help keep your strength up.
