S.O.S. ... not the scouring pad but HELP!

I have attempted the H-E-L-L sweater twice now and ripped it out twice in desperation because, well, I S-U-C-K! OK, then I ate a 1/2 a bag of Lays and then some licorice and a couple of chocolates to wash it all down with. Knitting depression strikes and I turn to food for comfort. I was doing soooo well on "the plan". Will I attempt it again without intervention? Probably. Today? Dunno.

My wool is looking kind of mangled and so am I as you can see. Help. Pray to the knitting gods for me. No matter what I do, it doesn't look like the picture!!! Maybe if I screw it up the same all over noone will know it wasn't supposed to look like that! Now she rationalizing Folks!

I think I'll go see if I can poke my eyes out with my knitting needles.
