New.. and really down right now.. help

Hello all! I'm new to the myfitnesspal forums but not to using its tracker app or to weight loss. I just had a really bad week because of friends/social problems and that has affected my eating so far.. I feel like I'm getting off track and having less energy and pump in gym because of this.

Can anyone add me so I can regain my motivation and we can support each other? Also, does anyone have the phone version of the tracker app? It feels like a facebook for weight loss and I want to add some people

Also more about myself.. I was really obese at one point but now I got it down to around 177 lbs at 6'0
But my body fat % is still high (15+) so I need to keep toneing, although more slowly now.
My usualy daily calories taken in is around 1900-2200 depending on if I lift that day or not, and I usually walk 4 miles of cardio in between classes.
Lately I started buying diet sodas, deli meats, sugar free jello, and 100 calorie popcorn. Even though they are all low calories I still feel dizzy or sick after eating them but as Ive said, im kinda down so im kind of retreating to food for comfort (though this time im eating these artificial low cal foods).
so yeah..

You would be surprised at how much better you feel if you stop the sodas. They zap your energy.

I have the app on my phone. It works much better for me to be able to log what I eat and drink throughout the day. Feel free to add me. We all have a bad week now and then. Hope things get better for you soon. Keep your chin up and by all means use friends on here to help you stay motivated.

Yeah diet sodas do zap your energy but with the new stress I have I feel like this is my only way to calm down (while drinking it).
