I have felt like that lately and am turning things around. I was fortunate that my work gave us a pretty cheap rate for a local community center so I have been going to the gym every morning.

OMG.. Losing weight is exactly the same as paying off debt. You've got to get food undercontrol, compared with getting spending under control. The first three weeks of me getting off of sugar and junk food was crazy. I've lost 21 pounds in the last 4 weeks. Spending is the same. People buy needless junk and put it on their credit cards. That's the equivalent of putting on weight financially. Hey Hazzard,

What happened in the past is what we did, what we do now, is what we are (deep eh?). You might be creating a bit of a vicious circle, you do something, you don't like it, you get down on yourself, and then you do it again.. That's the way I get into these kind of funks too! --C8j Don’t beat yourself up. What happened in the past is what we did, what we do now, is what we are (deep eh?).

I've been frugally saving and paying off student loans for the past four months and BAM! I am hit with the urge to splurge. A part of it is probably contained urges over the past four months, and another is probably stress. I used to shop whenever I was stressed about school or family, and I kept a handle on it since I started working. I did cut my school loans by 60% already and the 0 debt is coming soon, but these past two weeks were hard. I went to the mall with friends and found some fabulous deals. I went out to eat with coworkers. I drove longer distances to meet friends, so spent more on gas. It's tough, but both you and I can get back into track. I'm also looking to lose about 10-15 pounds. I refuse to join the gym (more unnecessary costs), but focusing on my motivation and conscious effort to believe I can do it and I CAN make the better choice about foods and physical activity. Good luck to you! =) I totally hear you! I’ve been frugally saving and paying off student loans for the past four months and BAM! I am hit with the urge to splurge.
