I think stress can definitely affect weight loss.

I also think weight loss slows naturally: http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2012/02/21/weight-loss-advice-may-be-unrealistic/

I agree with CallmeSbo. Continue to exercise and eat healthy as much as possible. I think if you see positive results and progress in one aspect of your life, it helps to alleviate stress and negative feelings related to other parts that aren't going so well.

Hey there fellow Mf'er

So...wow...you got a lot going on sister. That is directly affecting your weightl oss and overall health. Stress is a weight loss killer and a cortisol, hormone enhancer. Consider this:

"While the immediate . . . response to acute stress can be a temporary loss of appetite, more and more we are coming to recognize that for some people, chronic stress can be tied to an increase in appetite -- and stress-induced weight gain," says Elissa Epel, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco.

The problem, she says, lies within our neuroendocrine system -- a brain-to-body connection that harkens back to evolutionary times and which helped our distant ancestors to survive. Though today the source of the stress is more likely to be an unpaid bill than a saber-toothed tiger, this system still activates a series of hormones whenever we feel threatened.

"These hormones give us the biochemical strength we need to fight or flee our stressors," Epel tells WebMD.

The hormones released when we're stressed include adrenalin -- which gives us instant energy -- along with corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) and cortisol. While high levels of adrenalin and CRH decrease appetite at first, the effects usually don't last long.

And cortisol works on a different timetable. Its job is to help us replenish our body after the stress has passed, and it hangs around a lot longer. "It can remain elevated, increasing your appetite and ultimately driving you to eat more," says Epel.

Also this:
Following those stress signals can lead not only to weight gain, but also the tendency to store what is called "visceral fat" around the midsection. These fat cells that lie deep within the abdomen have been linked to an increase in both diabetes and heart disease.

The amount of stress your body is under might even go unnoticed by you since you have been living this way for a while. But the strain is there and your body is responding to it. The emotional turmoil of a relationship that is lingering can cause greater damage than one that has closure. Let me reassure you, your daughter will be ok. The hurt is gonna be there regardless, she needs the space and closure to be able to move on and heal herself. If you can change some things in your life, then take steps to do it. I would recommend relaxation and stress reducing techniques asap and while you are making changes. Keep a journal of your thoughts, exercise of course, yoga, a hobby or craft, meditation, counseling, support group, prayer. Whatever it is that allows you to have some peaceful alone time is what you need and DESERVE right now. I hope this all helps. You intuition was right on though....you got this...it is all gonna work out!

Environment effects everything.
Bad scene = bad vibes = bad diet

I figured it out, its amazing how much changes when u move out
