I forgot how much the produce department costs. I spent atleast 1/3 of my budget there.

I know. And we just had to slash our grocery budget. I'm going to have to be super creative.

So I haven't posted here that much but I just wanted to say that I lost about 10 pounds since I last weighed myself. I don't have a scale but when I come to my friends house I like to use their scale when I use the bathroom lol and last time I was here was a few weeks ago and I weighed 146. Now I just weighed myself and I'm 136. Not sure how I lost it I haven't really changed anything yet besides not drinking soda as much. I'm just in a pretty good mood right now and wanted to share  

Quoting ℳary ℐane:" I wouldn't pay attention to numbers. I don't even own a scale. I rather see the changes. "

I'm addicted to weighing myself  

I can't help it. I literally weigh myself at least 3 times a day. I have literally been like this for the past 3 years or so. I weigh myself when I wake up, then after I eat before I go to work, then I weigh myself when I get home from work, then I exercise and then weigh myself afterwards, then if I eat something before bed I weigh myself right before I go to sleep

I can't help it!

Then our scale had broke a couple times and I had to wait until pay day to buy another one and I literally got depressed because I felt like I was gaining weight but I didn't have a scale to weigh myself or anything  

Yeah I am crazy I know

Good job K Bear with cutting out the sodas!

I on the other hand keep getting more and more bloated   I don't know why I am so bloated, it is seriously shocking me and depressing me. I have never gotten this bloated before. I feel like everything I eat and drink is going straight to my stomach and staying there

my son's b-day party was today so I had a cupcake and some fries at the bowling alley. Then my FIL didn't come to the party and wanted us to go out for dinner with him afterwards. So we went to a mexican restaurant. Had chips, salsa, cheese, dip, and 1 hard taco with some rice
