the closer the friend the easier it is for them to hurt you...remember why they are your friend and try to forgive them 

I can definitely relate to emotional eating as I bet most of us here can. I am proud that you didn't give in and have a cigarette. Now that I keep only healthy foods in the house, I endulge in a snack like SF chocolate pudding with almonds and cool whip, a piece of dark chocolate, or cream cheese/cool whip/strawberries instead and feel satisfied. That's my new comfort food. If I feel like I'm really about to be out of control, I try to go for a walk, work in the yard, or get busy with some type of project around the house to get my mind off of food. You are a tough lady for committing to not smoking and losing weight at the same time. Don't trade what you want NOW for what you REALLY want...to be healthy! You can do it!  

Be SOOOOO proud of yourself for not smoking! Take it from someone who quit after 12 years - that really is your number one priority! Of course you want to watch what you eat, and recognize emotional eating and try to come up with some other outlet. But right now having a cigarette after 27 days would have been WAY more harmful and difficult than the pie and fries!!! Both food and smoking need to be priorities, but for the first few months not smoking really does have to come first. BTW, it DOES get easier, I PROMISE!! I've been quit for 2 years now, but that was after several false starts! 

The fact that you didn't even enjoy the pie and fries tells me you'll be right back on track pronto. Hang in there, try and forgive your friend, talk to them. Congrats for not picking up a cigarette.
