You, like many of us, use food to subdue emotions. One thing I do for help when I want a comfort food fix is eat something still Atkins friendly but something I keep in moderation like pepperoni crisps with melted mozz cheese and pizza quick; or a few "shots" of whipped cream. I am learning that food is a temp fix. Stay strong, stay in control, and keep thinking of all the positives for you and your body and I know you are strong enough to do this!
Can I just tell you, from someone who has gone through some financial burdens during this economic hardships that you can not not control what may happen. I work for a financial institution and quite frankly, I hate the instability of my career. It is natural to worry but don't let it consume you. You simply can not change nor control what is bound to happen - but you can control how you react to it and how you handle it. What I do instead is cut back majorly on all spending and make a financial lifestyle change. I tell myself that I have my health and my famil; and money is a minor issue in comparison. I even think worse case scenario of what if I lose my house? What will we do? Well, we will stick together and down size our lifestyle. It isn't over, we are still here and we will still have health and love. Money is over, and even then, we can find a way to make it work so we can live with the basics. Hope it looks brighter for you soon - get back on, imagine how you will feel when you are in control of YOU! Keep us posted and good luck!
