Fatty McButterpants

Med check at the dr's today.  Usual long wait.  Blood tests are weird.  White count elevated again.  Platelets too.  Blood sugar and cholesterol ok.  Triglycerides high.  Blood pressure could be better

You have the right approach for the budget. Yes, don't trust it! And what do you do with something you don't trust: you have to keep your eye on it.

First off, the phrase "Fatty McButterpants" is really amusing. Words I never thought I would hear together.

Second, I would like to address this: "We have to make you believe you can do this". And that's the rub. Because if I believed I could do it, I would. I have no reference point for living life not huge.

I don't believe I can "armchair psychoanalyze" you into believing in yourself, but I'd like to put this out there: You don't have to believe that you can be rail thin or even "not huge" as you put it. Not yet, anyway. That's an overwhelming step to take, and I understand why you can't believe you'd be able to do that.

Yet.

What I do think you should work on believing is that you can lose ten pounds. Nothing life altering here. Just ten pounds

My only suggestion is to enter the expenses as soon as you have real numbers so you can start trusting your budget. Hopefully you will 1) either see where you need to adjust or 2) start trusting your budget!
