We are giving up eating out for an entire month. Yes, a month of no eating out. This may not be much for some of you...but for me..it is a true scrafice! This means I cannot call and say "Mommy is bringing home chicken nuggets and fries...." and then zoom into the drive thru, place an order, pay and go home and get one hour of relaxation with no one bothering me....LOL
Today we went to a couple of stores and usually I would have wanted a nice, hot meal to go along with my day out...but no, I came home and ate food out of my freezer. Let me know if you have tried this before. What problems did you have with not eating out? Pray for me on my month of giving it up:)

Oh yes! Gave up eating out for an entire month. . . We started slow. . .No eating out--Red Lobster, TGIF, Cheesecake. . (That was easy) Then we, gradually moved into NO FAST FOOD. . and that included CHINESE! Wow, it was tough. We had to plan meals and change up the different ways to prepare CHICKEN!!! Fell off the wagon a few times, but it was well worth it! Now, we're a bit more disciplined and can "SAY NO" to eating out (every once in a while). Bargain shopping and wise choices have focused our team. Now we have certain times of the month we can fall into McD's, Wendy's and Chick-Fil-A. It's going to be tough. . .BUT IT CAN BE DONE>> Yes, one whole month. Praying for you and with you.
WOW.Yes, we kind of tried it last month and we were on a roll. Then family came in from out of town....GOODBYE CHALLENGE! We have discussed gaining the self control again of not eating out. I leave to California on next monday so I guess I will not be eating out for a month. Maybe when I return we may have a meal outside of our green box, but for the most part if we all put the effort in it, IT CAN BE DONE. About two months ago we did it and we saved a lot of money but not last month. So I pray that you continue down the right path. Love ya.
How are things going?. . . wtih the challenge?
The challenge taught me that I have a love affair with food. When I am not eating out...it doesn't bother me...but if I do it one time...it is on...I want it more and more...I think about it as I drive...I think about it as I work...Dang, I am thinking about it right now...LOL
