I haven't posted in a while, but today I felt like I should. I have been keeping track of my food spending and it is still too high. This past month (August) I spent about $500 on food, including groceries and eating out. Most of the eating out includes fast food and coffee shop purchases that add up quickly. I've really got to get this under control if I want to maintain my DMP.

The first of the month is when most of my money goes toward bills and the DMP. During the later part of the month I have more money because I only have to pay student loan payment, electric and phone bill and insurance. No credit cards because that's taken care of with the DMP. But I am having trouble budgeting well enough so that I have enough money left between the first of the month and the next time I get paid.

I know there is a connection between my food spending and my weight. I'm working to try and get both under control.
