I'm out of control

Fitdoge

Hi everybody! My name's Sasha, or FitDoge (I like dogs.) I'm 19, and I didn't grow up in good conditions at all, and I've been homeless quite recently, and all of it's come to a nervous, stress-eating head. It's super hard to admit it and I'm very embarassed but my stress-eating has gotten way out of control. I'm buying and eating 3-4 candy bars a day now and it seriously has to stop, starting with admitting my problem. So I'm gonna start eating healthier and way way less.

But I need a little help. Last time I tried this I lost 40lbs, but things have changed a lot (I don't have a workout partner, a gym membership, or transportation this time) and I don't know how much I am supposed to be eating!
MFP set me up with 1,700 calories a day but that sounds way too much. Last time I was eating 1,400. But I don't want to be eating too little at the same time. I was wondering if anybody could help me with this part. I have gone a "starving myself to lose weight" route before and it did not end well.
I'm going to start making my food diary public, so when I go to eat something and feel embarassed about putting it on MFP I'll be far less inclined to eat it, even if nobody is really looking there.

Good luck and feel free to add me. I post daily.
