am astounded by how many pieces of clothing I have accumulated over the years that I simply cannot seem to get rid of. Neither do I wear them. It is as if something comes over me in a retail store, especially if there is a sale sign above the merchandise. I do not need anything else to wear, apparently, since I continue to wear the same items of clothing over and over, yet when I try to clean out my closet, I feel a sense of panic creeping up the back of my neck. This hoarding has gone on for as long as I can remember, and although I do give gently used items to the less fortunate, it almost gives me a free pass to buy something else, usually that I don’t need and cannot afford. I have decided to look into my problem.

when the bill arrives. Routinely I go through initial shock at the balance, then denial, as if the numbers simply cannot be correct, then shame, since many of the things I purchased either don’t look good on me when I get home, or I haven’t even cut the price tags off yet. Then I pay the bill and make a pledge to not get myself in over my head again. I suppose I don’t have to tell you, it’s a promise made in futility.
Then I blame the stores. Why on earth do they keep advertising sales? They know most women are suckers for sales. It’s like a robber comes and says, “Hand over your money, and in return, I’m going to give you clothes and shoes that you didn’t know you wanted or needed!” (And now can’t live without!) Then we willingly open our wallets and First of all, it is too easy to shop say, “Sure, take whatever you want!” with a charge card. It’s like that piece of plastic isn’t real money, Retail is my downfall. Well, and so it doesn’t matter what the that and chocolate, but that’s cash register rings up; it doesn’t another story. I have tried hurt my pocketbook. At least, everything. I block my ears if not until the end of the month 48

a well-intentioned friend even so much as whispers about a sale; I don’t read the advertisements in the newspaper, and I try not to venture into any malls. So far, none of the above has worked because I haven’t really identified the problem. The real answer is an accumulation: I need to shape up so my perfectly good clothes that I already own fit. I need to figure out why I need the excitement of shopping, how it feels so good then feels so bad. I need to find restraint and control my impulses.
For What it’s Worth, many women share my problem, but interestingly, most men do not. My new theory is it’s rooted in female DNA, and must be beyond my control!
