  • Hi mr B dont put so much preassure on yourself. Both moneysaving and weightloss are long long journeys. There will be times you wont go for a run or eat or drink too much and there will be times were you will spend over budget or fall into old habits. This is part of the journey! (Hope i dont sound all x factor contestant with my journey talk lol)>x

    Chin up Mr B, the novelty always wears off at some point. Perhaps try rereading some of your earlier posts for motivation? Or indeed find other diaries to read to perhaps remind you why you are doing all this.
    You said yourself that this is your most tiring week, keep that in mind before jacking everything in, you might feel differently this time next week. And if you are finding it all too much of a slog this week then cut yourself some slack. Hope you stick with it.

  • Don't give up or you'll throw many of us into misery - and you wouldn't want to worry about that as well as your finances and weight, would you?

    Just read BB and BTD posts - so true. My week from hell still has 2 days to go and I have been feeling just like you - CBA with it all including diary and was very close last night to turning my attention to other things but decided today that maybe I should give it the moneyside of things just a couple of hours of my time a week - somethings are already running without my constant monitoring - I just hadnt realised I didnt need to be thinking about them all the time! Its is a bit of a journey ( hate that word) thats not straightforward - hence my posting name - but it has to be worth it in the end and there are many on here who have done it

    Go teach 'The Boy' a new song...... "I'm not a chicken chucker I'm a chicken chucker's Son....'

    We all have bad days - don't beat yourself up let it pass because as someone once said 'Tomorrow is another day' (I feel like I need to be stood in a whimsical pose with the back of my hand pressed to my forehead for that line....)

    Anyway...... all together now 'I'm not a chicken chucker......
