So, this summer has been rough and stressful. I said goodbye to my biological mother. She was beign so self centered that it was too stressful trying to please her instead of working on healing myself. The con to this is that I now have to pay my own phone bill. It's not supper bad, about $55 a month. So, during the school year I don't work. This summer was suppose to be saving money for hanging out during the year, and it turned into saving money so I can have a phone year around. Well, today I realized that that stress is over. I officially have enough for my phone bill through May and have a little bit left in my checking. The next month of paychecks can just go to saving for fun stuff.
There is, however, one more thing that is stressing me out a little. At the end of April I made a deal with my dad. He would repay me the housing deposit I put down for school if I lose 50 pounds. He wanted it by the end of June, but I managed to negotiate July 31st with a 5 pound cushion. The reward, double or nothing. The last two months, I've lost about 7 pounds. That's good for a nice, life long weight loss. So, I'm going to renegotiate with him.
Deadline, August 28th. If I manage to lose 45 pounds in 6.5 weeks, I get double the deposit. Otherwise, I would use this formula: Weight loss divided by 45 times deposit. So, currently, if I were to use this equation Iw ould be getting $54. I think it will take a lot of stress off me, and allow me not to go through extreme, unhealthy measures to lose the weight. All my dad wants is for me to be healthy, and I hope he agrees. I just know by not having this stress, I will be able to just relax and win.
