Well, I did it, one month without shopping apart from a couple of support things for my sports injuries. It has been an interesting experience. I am glad I was able to do it. I think it has taught me a lot of my shopping is impulse driven. If I can't buy it at once the urge goes away surprisingly fast. I think shopping is addictive behaviour for me in that I like the buzz of buying stuff more than I value the stuff itself. In the same time period I have given up sugar and processed foods, had hypnotherapy for anxiety and taken up yoga. It has been an interesting and rewarding few weeks.

I really, really want to buy a scarf! I have been looking at Alexander McQueen style scarves on eBay and REALLY want one! It would be so easy to just " buy it now" ....this is the first time I have been seriously tempted! Be strong Julie ....
