Ok. So we're all in the boat together, 20-somethings, where you have a job (some of us have better jobs than others!), but something goes awry and you have to make financial sacrifices in order to pay bills... (and, yeah, I realize that this happens to people of all ages.. but
still..)
So, here's the deal... I'm on WW, but the boyfriend isn't, so we have "boyfriend food", and "Kat food". And typically it works out fine, but the boyfriend also likes to eat out a lot, so I have to do more "Kat Shopping" more often... (again, this is fine..until recently)
So we have a kitten, and she went to the vet for an emergency, lots of things happened (this post shouldn't get TOO long!), and needless to say, we had to pay THROUGH THE NOSE to get her feeling better!! (and she might be sick AGAIN... ugh
)
In addition, because of lack of work for me, and a change of job for him, finances have been RIDICULOUSLY tight since January. We're literally spending money ONLY on gas and necessary groceries.
So, I looked through my pantry, and there is mac & Cheese, mashed potatoes, soy milk, hamburger meat, a buttload of ramen, and a huge package of corndogs. (notice fruits and veggies missing? Yeah.. me too.)
And I looked in our bank account to see if I could go shopping, and that won't be happening. And I can't justify going grocery shopping if there is still something edible in our house... So what do I do?
I was off plan last week because of all the kitten madness. And I'm being forced off plan this week because we're not rich enough????? This hardly seems fair.
Kind words, suggestions, or anything would be nice
I'm just so sick of feeling full of cheese and bread. (which I NEVER thought I would say!!!
)
