The Struggle

Yesterday I didn't get the chance to post, but it was the hardest day so far. For several weeks I had planned to go up to Grand Valley to visit a few friends. The morning started out good. I went to work and came home to pack my things. I knew I couldn't buy any food, so I packed mac n cheese and a few snacks. Once I got up there, my friends wanted to go out to dinner. Of course I went with them, but I couldn't get anything to eat. I had to wait until we got back to her apartment. Not being able to eat was the easy part. Before we went back to the apartment, my friends wanted to run to the mall. This was a challenge. I have a shopping problem that if I see something I like, I will buy it. Of course every store we went to I saw something cute. At one point I had to walk out of the store. Even though this was really hard, it will benefit me in the future. I will be able to just walk away from something and save money.
