down??

So my family from Ireland just left after being here for two weeks. Those two weeks consisted of eatin out almost everyday. I was stressed to the max. Eating all that food led to everyone talking about how much weight they were gaining, or what they're going to do to get rid of the wieght. Needless to say it was quite stressful to listen to them all piss and moan about it. Somehow (MIRACULOUSLY!!!) I've managed to lose almost 5lbs in these 2 weeks. I wasn't even trying. I was planning on getting ack on track once they left. But maybe cuz I was so stressed about it I was subconsciously NOT eating as much as everyone. Is it possible that not stressing about it and not constantly counting my calories has acutally worked to my advantage?!?! Has it actually helped me to gain control over my eating and lose weight? What a crazy concept? I'm not sure how I feel about it .....
