Hi everyone,
Just thought I would post this here because no one else IRL seems to get it. I have been feeling so down the past few days. Today is payday and I *thought* I would have an extra $70 to split between EF and debt. Well I realized that I forgot to include house insurance ($30). Okay, so no worries, I have that covered. Then I find out that the shirts that the team wanted for dodgeball are $25!!! I have to pay it because its custom made! The last time we had shirts made they were about $5. So now I have $15 left. Well wouldn't you know the power cord on my laptop died. BF found another one on ebay for . . . you guessed it . . . $15! So now I am budgeted to the penny! I guess the only positive is that NOTHING has gone on my CC (BF paid for the cord on his and I am giving him the money today)
We are going home this weekend. It shouldn't cost too much (we are splitting gas between 4 of us, with mine coming from the gas cards

I can relate on the weight gain issue. I am already overweight and not actually gaining but know the one med I take for chronic pain DOES cause a craving for carbs!!!
Thanks for the kind words and wisdom Mary Ann. You're right. Sitting around worrying and moping won't make things better. I have to get up the energy to meet my goals and make the hard choices. They may not be the most fun, but they will make a better me in the end. I'm just really sick and tired of being sick and tired :(

Thank you all again for you kind words. It means a lot to me! It helps to know I am not the only one facing these problems! I think part of the stress is that I am a planner. I need to know and plan for all possible contigencies

I get it. I have been the same way. Keep your chin up,
Awww Bex - I'm so sorry!
I applaud you for freaking out at 10 lbs and realizing it's best to do something NOW...even if you're feeling overwhelmed by everything in general. As someone who has fought with her weight her whole life, let me tell you I *wish* I would freak out about 10 lbs. If I were wired that way, I wouldn't have this long road ahead of me. Your family is simply wrong here.
Actually, the way I see it, the crazy money stuff that pops up is pretty much out of your control, but the weight thing is within your control, so it's the *perfect* thing to focus on. And, finding time to move more will help you feel better about the other stuff.
Please know you're not alone. I've had some post-holiday meltdowns here regarding money, weight, work, you-name-it. Plus all the lay-off news every night. Not good.
Hang in there.
