Okay confession time. My husband and I have a sickening habit. It’s gross. I’m ashamed of it. But it’s true. It is the epitamy of lazy american. I don’t want to admit to it outloud. I think Ryan and I both kinda hoped we could keep it our dirty little secret. We hide it from everybody. Actually I’m pretty sure we just think we hide it from everybody, but the people who really know us know about it. Sigh…okay here it is: at least once every day we buy one meal that is some form of processed, overpriced, unhealthy fast food. McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, pizza, chinese food. It’s on an endless loop. Sometimes we pretend we’re eating healthy by buying Quiznos or Subway, but it doesn’t really count when we pile on the mayo and greasy cheese and buy chocolate chip cookies to go with it. It’s not just the unhealthy part of it that gets to me. It’s the money we throw away on this crap. $15, $20 gone every day on garbage. We spend stupid amounts of money every month on the disgusting habit and I’m sick of it. Literally and figuratively.
Last night Ryan and I promised eachother that we will not eat out for one month. I’m sure it sounds like a piece of cake to many people, but sadly for us it is a scary vow. This is something we do every day so it won’t be easy to change (i’m so embarassed to say that!) but it NEEDS to be done. There, I’ve said it. I’ve admitted to my dirty little habit and I am making arrangements to cure my disease. I know we will come out for the better.
Don’t worry, I know we can do this. If we fully commit ourselves I know we can do it!
By the way, lets start tomorrow because I forgot my lunch today and well, you know….
*rolls eyes*
sigh…
hahaha. so funny.
a vow! i love a good vow.
they are so transformative.
do it. you’ll be so proud of yourself, or your find out something about yourself.
either way…
The last vow we made was to wait a year after marriage before considering children. We were so close to making it too
i remember that.
eh. that was a vow worth breaking!
