Yesterday was payday but I have not purchased anything for 24 hours. I did get my Suave Rose Shampoo ($3.00 at Dollar General) but that was something I really need and wanted for a long time. It smells great. I went to bed at 2 am and stayed in my bed until 6 am. (I've been wanting to stay up half the night shopping.) I am focusing on being excited to see what's in my Ipsy that is already paid for. I did get charged for Glossybox, which I was not planning on, because I cancelled after the cutoff, but that's ok.
I think I was really lucky in 2018 and I was in a state of grace where I hardly felt tempted and No Buy was easy. But I guess I can't feel like that all the time. Sometimes I am going to have to fight. I've been fighting hard. I find that when I force myself to close credit cards and things like that, I feel very sad, but it passes quickly and I forget about it. I reread my journal from the month of my binge and I had written about things I wanted so badly, but later I had forgotten about them.
Good start to the month! ?
