I am so sorry to hear about the loss in pay. My heart really goes out to you. We are in the same boat right now, so you are in good company. The economy is so hard right now. I have found myself humbled in so many circumstances. I am needing to ask for "assistance," and we haven't struggled like this before. Fortunately, God is good and provides for us. We just have had to swallow our pride a little more as we tighten our belts and watch for His provision.
Carrie, I'm glad you still have a job but sorry you had to take a cut in pay/benefits. I also turn to food when I'm am stressed/upset about things. Just remember it'll make you feel good while it's going down but then you pay the price afterwards.
