I just reread my post from last week to make sure that I
wasn’t changing the rules on myself. I
didn’t really make it horribly challenging did I?
So this week I managed to not buy a single
croissant from Pret or a single candy bar.
I did a bit of math on this one.
Not eating these save about £8 a week or £380 a year. Considering that its food and you need to eat
and all that, it doesn’t seem so bad, maybe?
I mean, if I gave up food I’d be dead.
But for food that I don’t need and doesn’t do anything for me that money
could really be spent much better.
This wasn’t just about the cash
though. My little treats equaled 2500
calories a week, or 122 thousand calories a year. This isn’t only what I’m eating this was on
top of it. 122,000 calories is
equivalent to 38 human pounds. If I lost 38 lbs I’d not just be thin, but
skinny. Every time I thought about just
having one I remembered the math and put it down.
I’ve also managed to not buy a single pair of
shoes or any clothing. This is the
easiest and hardest bit. I want to shop
at my favorite places in the States.
This makes it easy to say wait.
On the other hand I’m losing weight and even my work clothes are
starting to look comically large. My
husband says that it’s not too bad and I’m going to hold out. I have ended up in some, um, interesting
outfits though. Hopefully it won’t get
me in trouble! Shoes are also hard
because I want these:
And these:
Will I hold out for another week? I don’t know.
As for my eBay habit (obsession). I’ve only bought one thing and it was off of
the allowed list. So no broken rules
there.
Over all I think this week has been a
success. Let’s see if I can repeat it
this week!
