16.From McDonald's to Sonic,fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget.It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat.It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase.For me,I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising﹩40 a week on fast food.This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers!Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures,I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption.Every Monday I placed an envelope with﹩20 in my purse.That was my fast food budget for the entire week.If there was anything left over at the end of the week,it was mine to save or spend.If I spent all of the money during the week,there were no more fast food stops that week.
The budget made me more mindful of my purchases.Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic,I would purchase a small.It was still satisfying but not nearly as pricey.Instead of eating a whole meal,I would pick the part that I actually wanted.Many days,the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food.I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.
Envelope budget kept me honest.I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases.I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week.It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.
Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget,but improved my weight.In the first month I was able to get rid of 5pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food.Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it.I am not upset,but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.
