Eek, first loves are the worst. In my experience, you never completely get over the person. I was with mine from ages 17-19, and now, over 10 years later, I still think about him sometimes (most often when dreaming). I've been happily married for 2 years now, and my ex got married a month ago (also to a skinny blonde!). Even 10 years, about 20 boyfriends and a wonderful husband later, his wedding got to me. It's just one of those things you deal with. Don't know if you have contact with him, but putting up a complete wall (not FB friends, never run into him, and do whatever possible to find out NOTHING about what he is up to) can help. That helped me the first couple years.
As far as eating goes, I'm of no help because I've never been able to control it when having intense emotions. I'll tell you one thing (as a formerly skinny semi-pretty girl)...the more weight I gained, the less men found me attractive. The dating pool gets smaller and smaller with every pound gained. I know, finding a significant other is definitely NOT a good reason to get in shape, but some people need different motivations.
Good luck girl...first loves SUCK for this very reason.
