RubyRedSox's Journal, 03 May 2010

Well, I'm at a stand-still on my weight loss but will hopefully pick up soon. One reason is the last two days I had nothing for my lunches which was because I was running out of food! That's the breaks on low income that stalls many of us trying to make better choices BUT my food stamps are here today so I can go to the store yay!

I also live in a small town (farm country) with only 2 stores. The one has no food choices and the other is an IGA but prices are very high here. To get to the next larger town where they have a super walmart, kmart, safeway etc is almost an hour trip one way except the only way to get to these stores is by car which I don't have. Peopleforpeople take me to my dr appointments and the social securty office and that's pretty much it. But then to "hire" someone to drive me is at least 20$ for gas and an easy 20 more to pay for their lunch. So, with a big trip like that is about 40-50$ total cash. ummm.. can't do.

Well, better get around. Mom says she needs to go to town too!

We are on retirement income and I know what you mean, you have to make good choices. Our diet call for good wholesome food which is a lot cheaper then the processed and refined foods. We have found we save money eating Atkins way. Enjoy your shopping trip and good luck with your weight loss. :)

Glad you will be able to go shopping again. We all have challenges to work through in adjusting to this food plan - I had to adjust my diabetic meds because my blood sugar dropped really low. We just do the best we can in each of our circumstances. Good luck Ruby.
