Doing 180, but Husband still researched D

[Phenix70]

DB,
Thanks for the encouraging words, it's just what I needed right now.

I sent in a offer to volunteer at the rescue that we got our dog from, they need people & I think doing this is a step in the right direction.
I told H about my offer & he got enthusiastic when I told him.
He said that volunteers are important because often it's easier to get donations than free time from people.
He also liked it when I mentioned it would be a great way to meet people who share the same interests as me.
It seems that he's happier that I'm seeking out new friends this way instead of through Meetup.
Could be he was worried what kind of people I would have been meeting?

I'm going to do like you suggest & not beat myself up over my finances.
My credit card debt is under control & I only have two years left on my car.
If I could just get a job & the opportunity to put a big dent in my other debt, I think for my own personal satisfaction I would be in an even better place.

I'm confident the weight will come off, I'm aware of my weakness which is talking myself out of working out, you know the whole "oh it's just one day, it's no big deal."
Nope, I have to do something active EVERY day or else I'll slip back into old habits.
Now it's only new habits, I'm tired of the old me, I want to change for the better.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my posts & to respond, just being able to post out my thoughts has been very therapeutic.
