I've been unemployed for a little less than a year now. I'm home with the kids, so no pay check. This is the first time I have not worked since I was 15. Its weird to me not to have my own money.
DH is usually not the kind to make me feel like his money is his, unless we are fighting then he does throw that at me. But back pedals and says he does not want the kids in daycare (me to go back to work).
I have been trying to get my butt in gear to loss the baby weight but I'm really struggling. Over the years when I find myself struggling like this, I often find that I need some accountability or support. Usually I will join weight watchers, even if only for a few months. Once I've made more of a habit of my better lifestyle, I stopp going and I'm fine. I actually joined after baby #1 and baby #2. Just long enough to get out of my pregnancy rut. Its a rut for me as I slowly slip into poor eating habits each pregnancy.
Anyway, I am uncomfortable with asking DH for the money to join. He thinks its a waste of money for someone that already has nutritional knowledge. I've told him before that I dont need the points system, and I dont. I probably would just count calories, but go to the meetings, thats the part I need. I've looked in OA but that sooo not for me, no...and I looked into tops and the meetings night for our local group is the same night as my son's karate class, so I cant go. WW offers many different meeting times so I could go when its convenient.
I'm really annoyed because I'm a grown adult and I dont think I should have to ask anyone for money like a child. I hate not working and this makes me want to go back now!...I dont like not having my own money to do with as I please.
Any advice?
