I'm sick of it!

I feel like I am budgeted and regulated in every aspect of my life. Granted I impose these restrictions on myself, but I'm getting sick of it. My money is budgeted, my food is budgeted, my time is budgeted...I'm feeling trapped. I am naturally a free spirit. I love being spontaneous. Anyone else feel this way?

    So you're sick of your self-imposed restrictions? If only there was a glaring solution...

    Yes I know it's in my power to change it. It's the goals of having these restrictions that keep me going.

    how about you can lose can many pounds as you want - literally, go nuts.

    You can save as much money as you want - whatever ever number you decide - you can.

    you can pay as many bills there are - just to be wild.

    you can spend time with working/family/home and STILL find time for weight management - pretty impressive.

    You're a half-glass full kinda of person, aren't you? :) Great attitude and advice!

    Haha..growing up sucks doesn't it? I think all successful people feel that way to some extent. Sure beats the stress of being unhealthy/in debt/poor, etc., which is the alternative!

    I think you're looking at this from completely the wrong perspective. What you call trapped, I call responsibilty.

    The money & time budget does upset me mostly because I am giving most of my day to work. How I see it is...I do my job & nothing more. I don't spend extra hours (not to mention no overtime pay) and really don't "go the extra mile" at work. I do what I'm paid to do and if that doesn't give me any chance for advancement...then so be it. I don't live to work. It's only a means to an end.

    Sometimes. Usually when I'm tired. Take a long hard look at the parameters you've set yourself. List the benefits and drawbacks, quantify the results of that structure you set in place. Are the results worth it overall? Continue on. Not worth it on a cost/benefit analysis? Restructure.

    In the meantime chill out a bit doing something indulgent just for you. Read a book in the bathtub or have a mani/pedi. :flowerforyou:
