One Week!

I know this might seem petty to a lot of people... and I even had a "friend" once rip on me for doing it, but I haven't eaten at McDonald's in a whole week!  I have a really bad habit of going there after I get done at the mall, or even if I have an early day at daycare and can just pop on over there.  Oh sure, I make sure I switch up McDs, and hope that the same people aren't working, and pray they don't recognize me or my order from before.  I would tell myself, "It's ok that you're going to eat so much food, you've hardly eaten anything all day!"  Which, in and of itself, is not healthy either.. It's amazing the excuses I give to myself that I need to work on getting over.
One thing that made it easier was not having any money.  I have about $3 in my checking account right now, and that doesn't go very far.  I feel that my real challenge will be on payday, because that's when I'm the most guilty of stopping at the drive through.  It's the end of the month, I actually have money, and we are running out of food in the house because we need to go grocery shopping.  So, why not stop and get that Big Mac?

I am still working on cooking, and having healthy things around the house.  It's been really hard because with my old job, I got paid once a month, and even though I had a 2nd job at the mall, we really only got to grocery shop once a month.  I always felt bad having Cory go and pick up stuff that we needed, so I usually got by on what we had.  But, with my new job, I will go back to being paid bi-weekly again, thank goodness!  So, I am going to work on getting over that temptation of food on payday!
