The first step

May 11th, 2008 at 05:59 am

This is my first posting. I need to be able to be accountable to someone or something, and that is what i am using this blog for. I need to get focused and get my finances in order.
I have the following c/c bills:
Emerge $1,422.87
Dell $1,459.34
Amazon.com $2,493.02
Capital One $985.96
B of A $5,036.77
Discover $3,235.20
Capital One $2500
I am so disgusted with myself. I was debt free (except for mortgage and car payment) only 2 years ago. I don't even remember what I bought with all this debt. I do recognize why I have gotten myself in debt. In the last 2 1/2 years I have been told I can not have any more children due to an extended illness, so I spent money and ate a lot of food. So not only am I in debt, I'm also fat. Plus, my husband and I have not been getting along. He likes to go out to the bars every Saturday night while me and my son stay home. I feel like I have at least figured out the reasons for the spending. Now the solutions: Two weeks ago I started walking, and going to the gym three days a week. And I feel I have come to terms with not being able to have any more children. I'm on the right track, but i need some help to get rid of the debt. So now I am blogging in order to come clean with the debt.
