Patricia, you continue to AMAZE me! Please don't be too hard on yourself as you pay off debt. Not to be morbid but a friend recently died unexpectedly after a three day illness. That impressed upon me how important it is to live every day noticing the small things, smelling the roses and having something to enjoy each and every day. In my case, an icecream cone can be my highlight of the day. Budget items can and do often fluctuate like weight gains and losses. As long as it is trending on the losing side I don't beat myself up about the unexpected 1-2# gains every so often. Be safe.
