30 Day Shopping Ban Update 3

May 1
I am expecting guest from abroad today . So I think I will be cleaning, organizing and cooking  all day long .



May 2
I went to TJMaxx with my guest for his  shopping . I was so tempted to buy clothes. Instead I walked away from the clothes section and focused on helping him find things on his list . That way I could still shop but nothing for me . I was so proud of myself . I cannot stop bragging about it . I literally did not wander even close to the clothing aisle . I had made a resolution before entering the store . And I stuck to my resolution . Such a big achievement .

Work kept me busy all day long .

Today I went to target with my guest . I had a gift card that I could have easily used to buy clothes for me or my little one. I instead gave it to my friend who used it to buy things on his checklist . I momentarily thought about my purchase from Kohls with the coupon . may be my guest could have used it instead of me . but somehow that guilt has made me stronger . It has sort of worked for me in a way to strengthen my resolution and stick to "no shopping ".
