Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. There is nothing to worry about your current behavior. These are normal. Stressed body usually reject food, especially food rich in fat. In that case you should take rest for around one hour and then eat. You must learn to eat (drink) liquid food when you are stressed and mentally need food. Don't be obsessive. If you cannot eat food properly today, there is always a next time. Don't worry.

I can help you in this aspect. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
