Well hello there. Why yes, thanks for asking, I am most definitely still on this diet, and I’m most definitely still going strong 
It seems that for most of you, your diet was up September 1st. Congrats to all the successful dieters! And congrats to the not so successful dieters, just by signing up for the challenge makes you a champ in my books!
Im actually a little bit surprised that there aren’t many post from the remaining dieters (perhaps im the only one left?)
I just want to say that I feel quite empowered by this diet. It has given me the willpower I never thought I had against all things clothing, shoes and accessories. I feel very much in control of my consumeristic (is that even a word??) behavior. I am much more aware of spending and tracking my money. I’ve already been able to save the same amount that I spent on clothing last year. I’m not even sure how I’m going to react when I’m actually ‘allowed’ to shop. Pherhaps I’ll just try to go as long as possible.
How has this diet left YOU feeling?
PS :: Sally: Thank you for this experiment and also to your team/collective of people that got this challenge off the ground and at our fingertips, you’re a champ ::

My diet was up on July 31st and I have yet to purchase any item of clothing. I’ve been thrifting and done a bit of window shopping with the occasional try on. (nothing magical yet!) I’m still satisfied with shopping my own closet and in that process, am still paring down my wardrobe. I too have felt very empowered by this diet and as you say, I am very much in control of my consumeristic behavior! Honestly, I’ll forever be changed by this experiment and Sally’s new rules of shopping!
Thanks for coming out of the closet and posting!! I check back on occasion for inspiration and I’m glad to know someone is out there.
I, too, check in to see if anyone is still posting. Finished the diet Aug.31st, with only a few inexpensive slip-ups. And I am definitely still feeling the effects–I am SO much choosier (more particular) about the things I buy, and find myself feeling the urge to shop and then asking–”Is this something you need to do, or are you feeling anxious or stressed?” Usually it is NOT a need but an emotional pull, so I find other ways to calm myself. It has been a tremendously useful and satisfying experiment, and I also am grateful to Sally for starting it. Kudos to all involved!
