Breakups are like that. For a while you quit caring about ANYTHING. I'm sure a lot of us have been there. It may not be the time for you to actively lose weight, but rather to maintain the losses you've achieved so far.
Perhaps you can project yourself 6 months into the future. Imagine you've regained 50 pounds because you just "didn't care" from day to day. Then imagine that you've maintained your current weight. Imagine the feeling of satisfaction and self-worth from that accomplishment. Hold to that projection when you reach for a calorie-laden snack.
In the meantime, make a list of all the things you need to do and the things you want to do, and start ticking off the boxes. Get out of the house, even if it seems like a Herculean effort. It will not only speed up your emotional recovery, but take your mind off the fridge.
