Poverty Challenge - Coping Through Food

Are you one of those people, like me, who uses food to soothe?  So I've realized before that I use food to cope with life's challenges, and today it's put to the test!  My car has been into the dealer for repair 4 times now for the same problem.  Each time they charge me a fairly significant amount, and each time I come away with a car that no longer run after less than a week.  Essentially, I have a $20,000 paperweight with only 60,000 miles on it and not even GM is able to help.  Today...it broke down again.  More than anything, I want a cupcake and a soda to make me feel better!  I decided to stick this through though, and what sense would it make to give up on the Poverty Challenge just because I am upset about something else.  Tonight...I learn to cope and soothe myself with something other than food...not sure what yet...suggestions????
