(multiply your weight times 10) You can have bigger meals. and in between meals have some small snacks. like yogurt or almonds or something. fruit is always good. also, drinking lots of water fills you up, and i've found drinking tea to be pretty filling to. try some green or black tea, (green tea tastes better) it has good caffeine and helps speed up your metabolism!! good luck! (ps, it sounds like your ex is a jerk)
