Yep that is right. Today is day 11 since I have had any fast food that I paid for. I have had two free meals in that time period. We went out to dinner last night for DD's birthday but my son paid. I paid for desserts since he was already looking at a $60 bill. I don't consider that breaking my challenge as it isn't fast food and it wasn't for a meal. It was for a treat.
Dinner for tonight is already cooked as I put a roast in the crock pot yesterday forgetting that we were going out for dinner. Just need to add some vegetables and some rolls and it is done.
The weekend is always the hardest for me to resist eating out. We should have plenty of food to prevent it, just takes time to cook.
DD is going rafting tomorrow for her birthday. So far she has 4 people going. She should have fun. I hope that the 4 people show up. She has a problem with people cancelling at the last minute. I feel so bad for her sometimes. She hasn't found that one true friend that she can always count on yet. I didn't find that friend until I was in my thirties. I hope it doesn't take her that long. Anyway, I already have the money saved for the trip and I should actually have some extra.
Day 11

The entire ride to the airport with my mom I was venting and crying about my entire life. I'm behind one rent payment, need to pay the chapter 13 trustee $500 by July 22, and I need food, gas, medicine, pet food (cat & dog) pay my phone bill, internet bill, the list goes on and on. So, I said to my mom, I have food at home and my son can eat what I make, because this is exactly how that small $20 spend unwisely puts me in the same financial stupor.
She insisted I get my son what he asked for because he's her only grandson and she's always been nuts about him. So, North Georgia Girl, I think if I could identify what steps I am taking every time I get money in my bank account and how I psychologically view my money and spending, I might be able to turn my thinking into a smart person's financial mind. Sounds like you are doing really good!
