Weight, Lifted.
April 4, 2014
After my last post, I decided to return a few items that were weighing on me. They were pricey things that I desperately wanted to work for me, but were not working. One item was a gorgeous dress that I would never have the occasion to wear, another was a much-needed trench coat that was…

What I Know.
March 28, 2014
Shopping. It’s what I do when I’m bored, tired, angry, anxious, annoyed, overwhelmed, or elated. It’s my default activity for when I want to feel something other than what I’m feeling. It’s my default activity, period. At some point during the winter, I started online window shopping again. It quickly went from sporadic to daily….

Scattered.
March 25, 2014
There’s a reason I haven’t been posting. I am scattered, and struggling to keep myself together. This winter has been going on too long and I’m tired of being cold and unmotivated. I haven’t been able to work out regularly due to injury, schedule, and surgery. I’m still getting used to my work commitment, while…

My Health Journey.
January 4, 2014
Today is my 1-year anniversary of getting healthy! On January 4th, 2013, something clicked and I made the commitment to log my food intake on MyFitnessPal and started a version of the Couch to 5K program (I used an app on my phone). I’d just had several inconclusive tests for intense gallbladder (or heart?) pain…

I Shopped My List.
November 11, 2013
I have a list of the last few items I’d like to add to my wardrobe to get me through the winter. I’ve been strictly adhering to the list, which has actually not taken as much willpower as I’d thought. Shopping has become more of a fun mission and I’m paying more attention to the…

Struggling, and a Possible Trigger.
November 1, 2013
I’m struggling today. Actually, I did most of the struggling yesterday and I think I know why. I woke up feeling bone-tired after a particularly heavy workout the day before. There’s no caffeine in the world that can pull me out of that. I started to think about shopping, trying to figure out if I…

Why I’ve Been Shopping.
October 25, 2013
I always wonder if anyone reading this blog doesn’t personally “get” the desire to shop. I wish I knew what that feels like! I’ve been interested in clothes since at least middle school, when I started keeping a journal of my outfits to make sure I didn’t repeat them. There are the standard shopping reasons…
