I'm trying to make it a goal to focus on my self-care right now, partially because I know it is something I'll be able to take pride in while feeling better and partially because I feel like it's something that will give me a little bit of control of my body when I feel like everything keeps getting pulled out from under me. It seems like a small step that I can try to take care of myself.

Since my breakup a month ago I've dropped around 6 lbs. (I was around 5'10" 132lbs. before, so that's kind of a lot to lose that fast). My appetite has been near zero, even through the holidays, and I know that what I have been eating is very low on the nutritional scale, which is not helping me feel any better either. The loss of appetite along with the loss of energy overall has made cooking something I have no desire or patience for, which is frustrating to me because I'm usually very into cooking. But right now the whole process of spending tons of time making something I don't even want to eat just annoys me. Plus, cooking was something my ex and I used to often do together, and as crazy as it sounds, a lot of my old recipes and favorites seem to have "memories" attached to them too.

Since I'm not living in the US right now, the range of products and nutritional supplements available to me is pretty different, so I'm really looking for any ideas anyone has about simple, easy to prepare, and nutritionally balanced foods to try to start incorporating in my diet to hopefully help me feel better and get my energy/weight back up.
