Wish I liked shopping more!

I'm such a bore... I have my favorite places to go, and I head straight for the Sales/Clearance racks when I get there.

I used to shop just because I was bored, but I've gotten to a point where I have too much stuff so I rarely shop anymore. I need to learn to use ebay to get rid of stuff!

I have a hard time finding the fantastic deals as most my friends do. I enjoy shopping once in a while but not as much as most I don't think.

However Ebay is my friend, LOL. I don't always find great deals on Ebay either but the thrill of it all gets me everytime.

I hate to shop! Both my sisters are shop a holics and always find cute stuff, but I end up shopping online when possible. I'm overweight and the thought of trying on clothes makes me chew my nails up to the elbow!

I know what you mean. I have to try everything on and being way overweight, it's just not fun. Most everything larger looks like old lady clothes. I don't have very many clothes at all. It's sad when I have to look nice and don't have much to choose from. I also never buy anything because I know I want to lose weight and don't want to spend money on something I'll hopefully be to small for. Once I get this weight off, I'm going on a shopping spree.

You sound just like me! I yo-yo dieted for years and always gained it back. I recently moved and I cleaned out like crazy beforehand. I hate shopping because I always find myself buying dark colors and oversized blouses and shirts. And what's the thing now with tops that stop at the top of your hips It drives me crazy! I don't want to look like a hoochie mama, but I would like clothes that suit me and don't look like they belong to an 80 yr old!

I also hate to shop!! If I need something, then I go to the store I know will have what I need so I don't have to drive or walk all over to find it. And if I don't need it, I don't get it - no "whim" shopping for me. However, I do have one weakness that gets me the most but I handle it very well and that's Merrell shoes - I absolutely LOVE their shoes!!!! I have over 10 pair in my closet now and found 3 pair yesterday I don't necessarily need but would love to have and with Christmas coming up, hubby can get me at least one pair for Christmas as I'd be happy with just one of them To me, Merrell doesn't make a bad shoe. They are all mostly casual shoes, sandles, and boots. I have an "addiction" to them so bad, local store I buy them all from had a sidewalk sale back in August and I bought 3 pair!!! But at half price and an additional 10% off if you bought 3 pair or more, I couldn't pass up the savings. I spent just over $100 and got those 3 pair for me and 2 pair of shoes for my youngest. Their next sale is in February and I can't wait for that - I know they'll have some Merrells that I can get. And yes, I DO need help for this addiction...LOL!

I know what you mean. I usually buy a little bigger shirts and tops to hide the fat. They are getting harder to find because of them being made shorter.

I'm not a big person. But it really hurts my feelings when people go around and tell me your so small. It must be nice. I'm sorry I don't feel that way. I don't go around telling people gosh your so fat. Sorry that's just the way I feel. If people don't like you the way you are then you don't need them in your life.
that's just my opinion.
