They say it only takes your body a week to break a habit, but it takes your mind three weeks, 21 days, to make the change complete. Well, tomorrow, I will be at day 21-when I will officially be over any tie that I had to the fast food industry. I still don't miss it and I love having more money in my pocket.
Unfortunately, I do have a problem. My fridge is freezing everything-its awful. I miss breakfast most days because my milk freezes over night even though it's on the lowest setting. You never realize how bad frozen things can be until you try to eat salad with frozen lettuce, make a sandwich with frozen lunch meat and frozen pickle chips, and drinking frozen apple juice to wash it down. Ugh.
On a more positive note. I love Bless the Mic...of course because I'm over them-but I have never missed one since I started college. Anyways, Michele Singletary came to Philander today and she was great! It was all about money management so that was cool. She was funny but delivered a solid message that is easy to implement into daily life. So I, being the crazy person I am, decided to take up her challenge-in addition to my current challenge- to not use a credit/debit card, shop at a mall, no fast food(which I was already doing of course), and only buying necessities for 21 days. I'm down. I can do it. I can do anything-plus the no fast food thing is slowly becomming a way of life so I needed something new to stir into the pot.
I was already saying that I was going to put away my cards and have a cash allowance-this makes it even better. I am good.
February 10th will be day 21.
Yeah you can do it. Anyone who can give up fast food can give up spending money for 21 days. Good job! I was right, your pledge is rubbing off on your friends. I have only eaten at a fast food joint once this year hmm, I can't believe that
