  If you haven’t read part 1 of this 2 part post, then go back and read Confessions Part I or Did I Really Do That?   I know I’ve said in past posts that I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight, but I really haven’t gone much into that part of my life.  I’ve tried to strictly write about the spending fast and not go too much into the other parts of my life.  I figure you’re here to read about my spending fast and to get some ideas for saving money, not to hear about some of the other … Keep on reading —->
