Let's balance our checkbooks!!
Let's say.. I make $100 today. Out of that $100 I have to put aside $50 for rent, $10 for gas, $15 for utilities, $5 Savings, $20 for student loans.
So now.. let's imagine that I see a purse I want. Ohhhh it's nice.. It's Cognac Leather.. Triple Zip.. Gorgeous.. How much is it? I dunno! But I want it... !! So I splurge, and I get it... Now... what happened to my budget? What do I have for rent? Turns out, that purse put me into so much debt... I'm screwed..
Now.. Let's say I get 1200 calories per day. My BMR is about 1400... I can have 250 for breakfast, 250 for luch, 500 for dinner, 200 for snacks. This is my budget. Now what happens when I see that slice of cake everyone else is eating at the party? Ohhh, it's so noice!! Chocolate.. with creamy chocolate frosting... How many calories is it? I dunno, but I want it!!
Do I want to ruin my budget and just take it.. putting myself in debt with the calorie police? or do I want to stay on budget.. balancing my checkbook...
One things for sure.. I don't want to be adding anymore savings to my fat banks...
