Post-Shopping Binge?


Quote  |  Reply

I've noticed a pattern of overeating AFTER I go clothes shopping and buy something. I'm an average sized girl with some body issues, and I had an eating disorder...but I've basically put an end to that now and accept my body for the way it is. I love shopping for clothes, but this kinda ruins it. I feel great in the stores trying on clothes and stuff, on my way home too...but once I get home I feel crappy and over eat.

I think it may be because I feel guilty for spending the money because I'm a student and it's not in my budget and I don't really need the clothes. Or I want to buy tons and tons of clothes I don't need, but stop myself so I'm dissatisfied with whatever I do end up purchasing (or well, not purchasing). Or I maybe I'm actually self conscious in the stores and it catches up with me later in the evening.

Does anyone else have a similar problem or suggestions?
