It's been quite a week. Along with the no-shopping diet i have been on a 5 day detox which was very tough. I literally could not climb the stairs. However I feel so much better now. I am so addicted to sweet and carb heavy foods I had to do something to break the cycle. So apart from food and birthday presents for phil I have bought nothing. I also started my hypnotherapy. What a strange experience. I already feel different. Very strange!

Popped into Liverpool yesterday to see the giants and managed not to pop into any shops! AT some point today I get to buy food in Morrisons but will attempt to make sure no little non food extras slip into the basket!! I am also going back on my 5 day detox diet as am feeling so rubbish lately. Hope that goes ok too.

I have decided to set myself a challenge - a month long spending diet. I fear I am becoming addicted to buying stuff for emotional comfort! We aren't talking cars here or diamonds but things like a nice tube of hand cream when I already have enough or yet another lipgloss or nail varnish is all adding up.... Let's see how i cope....!
