OT - Financial troubles getting to me

Jan 18, 2012

I realize that this is as OT as it can get for OH but it's something that's affecting me terribly right now and endangering all my relationships, which MIGHT drive me to bad food for comfort and thus, weight gain. So...as you can see, I managed to make the connection! LOL 
Here is the short version of the story: Greece (where I live) is undergoing the worst economic crisis since WWII. People are out of jobs, businesses are closing, food lines are forming. Hubby underwent a substantial pay cut. My disability pension hasn't been effected - yet - but who knows? Banks are clamoring for their payments, money is scarce to non-existent, even essentials, like power, heat and yes-food are endangered. This is not a general assessement. I am living it RIGHT NOW!! I have cooked what might be our last meal, because once it's gone there is NOTHING - at least until I get my pension, which may be Friday or may be Monday. Hubby and I are fighting all the time about stupid things, my brother is angry at me for who knows what, sister is in worse shape than I am, MIL decreed she will stop helping hubby.
With all this going on, HOW am I supposed to focus on weight loss? (which may come anyway... no food, no gain!!)
Sorry, I had to vent.
