It's been two days since my last post and it is because I have slept 12 hours each of the last two nights. I have been feeling sluggish & ache-y and I think not shopping is making me physically sick! If this isn't proof that shopping is a real addiction than I don't know what is. Maybe Promises Malibu should start up a shopaholic program for Hollywood's worst celebs. Or do they already have one?
Despite the illness, I have not cheated at all since I started! This is day 5 & I have not bought any new clothes, shoes, candles, any of the things I would have picked up here or there. I survived the mall shop-free & haven't gotten anything at work -- even though I found some killer deals, but they will have to wait.
However, I have been having nightmares about shopping..ridiculous! The other night I dreamt that I wanted to buy something (I don't remember what) and I knew I couldn't ruin the shopping cleanse, but I had such anxiety over it that I remembered the dream when I woke up, which is rare. I guess all of these physical symptoms are showing how deeply rooted every single part of my being is in shopping.
I've been having a bit of a debate on tanning -- not whether it is bad for you or not, because I know the whole argument, thank you -- but whether or not tanning (which I would have to buy sessions) counts as shopping or not. Personally, I'm leaning towards not because it's more self-improvement, like a gym membership, than purchasing an immediate-gratification type of product. What's more, is if I can't buy myself anything new to look cute in, I should at least get to feel glowing and tan -- and don't tell me that it's stupid because I know everyone feels better in a tan. It's the sexiest outfit I don't have to shop for ;)
