(Funny, but luckily not true. Thanks to my robot...)So, a few weeks ago, I gave J my credit card to hold for me. Partly, because I had spent my monthly limit already and didn't want to go over and have him have a heart attack. Yes, I have a monthly limit. He didn't set the limit-I did. Without it and I'd be burning a hole through that credit card with no end in sight. Sometimes, I've gone past that limit and have had to scramble to come up with the difference. Anyway, I also have been spending too much money during the week when I am at work on stuff I really don't need (aka lunch, snacks, other ridiculous stuff). So, I decided to give J the credit card unless I need it for legitimate reasons!
Anyway, the first week or so was ok. It was weird not having it and I did catch myself semi-panicking that my funds were finite and I wasn't able to just go buy something. But, the second week, it became kind of...normal. I still bought my daily 20 oz Diet Coke and I packed my lunch with enough veggies and snacks and stuff for the day. It was great.
So, I am entering my 3rd week of this credit card diet. J did allow an "approved visitation" (haha) with it so I could go to Sam's Club and Target with a VERY SPECIFIC LIST. I did ok. It was weird, I kind of felt nervous in Target. Target makes me crazy. I love that store and I easily spend hundreds of dollars there so only buying just a few things was awkward. But, I did it. I think it's good to have limits and it has really taught me something.
So, I think I'll let J keep the credit card from now on so I can feel free and without crazy temptation. It doesn't make me less of an adult because I don't carry it with me--I actually think it's very adult-like. I know my weaknesses and I now know how to control them.
Now, onto that pesky Diet Coke and sugar weaknesses... those might be a little more tough to control... :)

Hello Suzi! I was unable to leave a comment on the giveaway page so I left one here. I might as well get in on the giveaway with back to school only a few weeks away! Keep my fingers crossed!
I've fixed the comments on the Reviews blog.. Not sure what was wrong!?! :(
Maybe that is something I should do because I have a serious shopping problem. Then again it might be more dangerous to give the BF my card as he shops almost as much as I do. lol
What is not to love about Target? That place is great.
Popped in from SITS! That's why my husband won't let me have cash--with credit cards, I'm stingy. But cash just dissapears...
Stopping by from SITS. Cute blog.
