You aren't alone!!! Look at how many people are on this forum!! We are all here because we all understand what it feels like to be overweight. Also because we want to receive and give support to each other. So, you have come to the right place!
My personal weight gain began about 6 years ago. I have been on EVERY diet known to woman. And when I recently gained weight on one of those diets...I came here out of desperation in hopes that it would provide me with the motivation to start over again. And also to see if somebody elses methods would be helpful.
I joined a week ago. First I was inspired...but still not motivated. I was still so disappointed and I was reading and eating at the same time. When I fall off the wagon...it's usually pretty hard!!
But then...I went to the calorie counting forum...which led me to some great websites! I'm especially liking thedailyplate.com. (There is also fitday.com and a few others). For me, this was exactly what I needed to get back on track. Being able to see my progress right in front of me and knowing exactly where i need to pull in the reigns is very motivating for me. In fact, so much so that I'm back ON the wagon just one day after checking out the website!
In any case...YOU CAN DO THIS, GIRL!!! I don't know what kind of job you have, but maybe it's time to consider a different one. Maybe your eating will actually IMPROVE without that stress!! Just a thought...
WELCOME AND GOOD LUCK!!!

ps DEFINITELY THROW OUT ALL JUNK IN THE HOUSE!! Also, as a flight attendant...when I'm home...I don't work...so that means I'm home all day. I have found that if I work out early...it sets the tone for the day and I'm much more likely to stay the course!
