Money's too tight to mention

I hate how my emotional state is so intrinsically linked to my poor eating choices. If I'm happy, I eat.  If I'm angry, I eat. If I'm fed up, I eat....you get the picture. It does seem to be mainly negative eating that spurs me on to make bad food choices, and this week has been pretty cruddy.
To cut a very long story short, my husband has lost his job unexpectedly. So, as Simply Red sang...'Money's too tight to mention'. No fault of his but because of this we have both been on an emotional roller coaster this week (despite hubby not 'doing' emotions!). Don't worry, I'm not going to get a tiny violin out for you all to play me sympathy tunes...things could be so much worse...but, once again we are in, what seems to be our default position in life....stoney broke. That is of course unless we won the Euro millions on Friday.
On the food front,  I have craved sweet stuff, bad carbs, chocolate, crisps, and despite not actually being hungry...I have still eaten a lot of bad choices this weekend.
Although I had a respectable 2 1/2 lb loss this week, but I was a bit miffed it wasn't more. I had tried so hard on the plan last week. I have to keep reminding myself that I have lost 52.5 lbs in 20 weeks....that's 2.6lbs a week average, which isn't bad going!
What I am trying to give myself a bit of a break on though is that I've spent 30 years making poor food choices, and only 20 weeks in to a complete lifestyle change, I am bound to have the odd slip up, but it's ok, I can just draw a line under that not so brilliant food choice and make sure the next ones a good one!
In sw group we have set ourselves. another mini challenge..In 8 weeks time, I would like to have lost 1 St 2 1/2 lbs....I would be holding up my 5 stone award then!! How fab would that be?

I'll keep you posted :-)
