The Great American Apparel Diet

no buying for one year

This morning I had a woman downtown Seattle tell me that she “would rather go to jail” than to put herself on the diet – that’s how much she loves to shop (and shop daily).  I had others in the shop where I was getting my hair cut say that it’s intriguing enough for them to want to join the group.  One admitted that she would have to shop to get stocked for the year before she got on board.  But, that’s understandable.  I have to admit that I felt great this morning to be immersed in a shopping situation and not feeling the urge to indulge in anything!  Window shopping is good and also knowing that you can be all over other things (like hair and makeup), while still sticking to this diet with purpose.  Although I have always failed miserably at any diet I have been on (to the point of obsessing about food),  I think this is one diet I can do.  The only problem I have had so far on day one is that when I start thinking about this diet, it makes me hungry – not for clothes, but for food!   I am hoping this will pass and that it is only temporary!   At any rate, I am delighted to be joining you all and I look forward to this mental challenge!
