I find that I am like many of you----some areas of my life are in far better control when I am eating better, other areas stay out of control, or I use them as a form of escapism (such as shopping, but I am broke, so shopping is very limited, which makes staying on my food plan hard---does that make sense?).
So, while I have lost 7 lbs in almost a month, I probably overspent---most of it on healthier food to be honest. I told myself that I wouldn't be picky about my budget for this month, and just buy things that will help me stay focused on my goals.
Today, I thought I was going to see the ex (it has been a whole month), but we may be meeting on a different day. So, I am having all of these sorts of emotions---sadness, anxiety, etc. Again, the small budget thing is there (I didn't pay a bill I should have this month, so, next month i will deal with being short, which isn't such a good thing, but I will try and make it work.)
I know I should probably just go home and work on a much needed home project, but there is that whole escapism thing, and I am also trying to avoid overspending AND overeating. Sigh.
