I hear you! My husband and I used to love to cook, eat out and watch the Food Network. Now I avoid all of that like the plague (including the posts on MFP where people describe and drool about the foods they used to eat or want to eat). I really had to get it through my head "Food is fuel". That's it. Not fun, comfort, a cure for bordeom, my best friend etc.. For me I find that although the idea of moderation and still finding fun in healthy food is great for others - but not for me right now. I think my issues with food are pretty big though - so it is easier to take this approach.

I started using a mat and weights when watching tv, as it kept me out of the kitchen.
I made a big music play list and started walking my dog more
I got into gardening and have my own plot at a community garden where I (attempt to) grow vegetables and flowers
I listen to inspirational TEDtalks
I go out for green tea with girlfriends instead of dessert or dinner
I powerwashed the deck and took a load of stuff to the dump (the jobs my husband would do but didn't do fast enough for me!)
I try on clothing that I never used to be able to fit into (I don't buy that much but it is fun to try!)
