In other news it’s fast approaching the end of Live Rich: Live Poor and so far I’ve stuck solidly to the $30 a week, and for a couple of weeks it went into about $15-$20. Not because I was trying to put the pressure on myself, but because SOCIETY PUT THE PRESSURE ON ME, with the bills and the… bills. Sultana Bran has become really good friends with my stomach, and in the words of my ‘BFF’, Jess, “Sustain can only sustain you for so long” – so true… so true. I like the way I can freely say “I ate cereal for all meals for 5 days because I was that dirt poor” and she can wholeheartedly relate. I have to be honest with you all, $30 a week is not out of my comfort zone. It’s nothing new for me. When I took on this challenge I think my biggest hurdle was stopping eating out. Which I have to admit right now, I’ve fallen from the tower a couple of occasions. mainly one particular day where my friend, Megan in Tasmania*, came up or.. back from her trip and I felt very self-concious not eating anything as a way of socialising. So I had a couple of cupcakes and a jelly tea. It was silly and if we do this again, I’ll have to be more diligent about this. Eating out is just far too tempting… even just snacking. And on things I’m not allowed to eat! Pathetic.
