Shopping Addiction Support Group

Oniomania (also known as shopping addiction), is the compulsive desire to shop. Similar to other compulsive behaviors, sufferers often experience the highs and lows associated with addiction. The purchase generates a mood of satisfaction, gives their life meaning, and lets them forget about their sorrows.

A jacket
3 shirts
5 tops
2 cardigans
a pair of jeans
a hat
2 cds
and lots of pop tarts!

I spent 160 on clothes alone and 200 in total

All because I handed my assignments in 15 minute late and may now only get a minimum pass mark.

I needed retail therapy!


Anyway the point of this post is to make you guys feel better because I spent waaaaaaaaay too much today!

I hope y'all had a spend free day!

Today I brought 4 pairs of shoes (sandals-online). Don't ask me why, I just knew I had to have them and they were 'on sale'. I still eneded up spending almost $200.

Last night I bought makeup from MAC website. It's the first time I've bought some in two years. I'm starting school next week and I'm not going looking like a hot mess. I feel NO guilt!

Arggghhhhh! Thats incrediable! I am writing down everything I buy and since doing it I wont buy a thing!
I will miss retail therapy especially because me and my boyfriend aren't seeing eye to eye.
But if I save I can go overseas and then enjoy a bargain in another country! I have plenty of online overseas purchases but no stamps in my passport to show!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    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...
