I took more stuff back today so I am patting myself on the back.

Having a clear through my wardrobes and coming to terms with my shopaholic ways I am beginning to see things in a different perpective. I had squirrelled loads of clothes away and hidden them in the cupboards, ones I had forgotten about. I found loads more clothes in the cupboards which I had bought and not worn. What a waste of money i felt so ashamed, so I took them back today. The shop let me have a credit note. I felt really pleased with myself that i retrieve some money. I still felt a bulimic shopper but I bought these clothes before I started to work on myself and improve my self esteem. I feel really pleased with myself. I am beginning to feel a sense of shame and yet a sense of relief. Actually it feels similar to when I gave up smoking. I haven’t had a shopping spree in weeks and I have managed to save some money. I am so pleased with myself. Instead of beating myself up now I am patting myself on the back. I am proud of my success. Thank you Marissa Peer :0) I am glad I read your book now.

Wow, well done you

Really pleased and you have given up smoking too, well you have beat me on that one, I am still smoking and still making excuses

You sound like a real success story, keep up the good work

I am not sure what a Bulimic shopper is, but I am sure that you are on your way to freedom of it.

A bulimic shopper is a shopper who takes stuff back. I have a buzz shopping then take it back after a day or so and put the money back on my card. I must say I haven’t done it for a while I have taken up tapping emotional freedom technique and read positive books that build my self esteem. Thank you for your kindness, you are kind.

Thank you for informing me, you learn something new every day.

Well I do know what it is as I am trained in EFT and it is a quick fix of the 20th century and I use it myself to stop myself snacking on sweets.

Although sometimes I snack just because life is sometimes too short to say no.

Keep up the good work

Love Greenlady
