Is there such thing as shoping addiction?

Yes! I was married to a man with a spending addiction. We addressed it in marriage counseling. He said that it gave him a sense of self-worth and made him feel important to be able to see something he wanted and buy it. Like a mini power trip. I guess that in itself wouldn't be a problem... but it was the fact that he didn't have the money to spend and used credit cards for the purchases that classified it as an addiction. Not having the self control to stop doing something even though it has a negative impact on your life and relationships makes it an addiction.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
