But I want to try and lose some weight (nothing cray - just 10lbs) but I think it would be awesome to stop buying things for myself and get to the goal and be able to buy some new clothes in the new year!!!

I've vowed to not spend any more money on myself unless I really, really need to--and/or if I have a coupon or it's already on sale. Perhaps that will help lessen the struggle if you try that little way to cheat :) <br /><br />P.S. I did the hanger trick earlier this year and it worked WONDERS. Turn all of your hangers in your closet the opposite direction. Once you wear something hang it up in the opposite direction. You'll soon realize what you gravitate towards and what you don't...and I ended up getting rid of a ton of stuff that way (of course to make room for more quality, wonderful purchases ;) )Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737871175203170525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-63319695149191178962013-10-11T05:36:28.119-07:002013-10-11T05:36:28.119-07:00I LOVE that shirt!

I about had a heart attack when Goodwill wheeled away my overflowing box of clothes and shoes, but man is it easy to pick through my closet now!! I vowed to not buy NEW clothing items the rest of the year as I have always been bad about picking online shopping over thrifting. I also plan to start learning how to use the sewing machine and crochet/knit more... which is also a good excuse to put off grad school homework :) Even though I don't have a strict "no buying" goal, I believe you can do it too! It really does feel great to have less *stuff* just taking up space.caymccoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189980836443168862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-80201967032697554002013-10-10T13:38:47.022-07:002013-10-10T13:38:47.022-07:00I think you should go cold turkey!

The clothing swap in the comment above is an awesome idea :) Also, once you get rid of things, from now on when you wear something, turn the hangers around, that way when the end of next year comes you will be able to see what you have worn. I don't actually do this yet, but I saw it somewhere & thought it was a great idea.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103032209101927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699693038908396892.post-61148263138209670292013-10-10T13:29:26.294-07:002013-10-10T13:29:26.294-07:00I had a no spend month in September.

Once I distanced myself from it altogether and saw the chunk of money I was able to save it's made it easier for me to move forward this month. I have 2 purchases planned for the rest of the year. I may or may not stick with that 100% but the shopping bug is definitely out of my system.
