I so know about the obessing thing. It gets me in trouble, so I'm trying very hard to get over it.

I don't obsess so much over concerts - but more material things. Like I'll see a shirt or a bag, or some shoes and fall in love with them. I usually can't afford said items - and I can pass initially. THEN the obsession hits. I mean I just obsess about the item until I finally break down and buy it (sometimes on credit) then I feel awful because I'm trying to get OUT of debt.

Then I feel bad because I think of people all over the world who don't have the luxury of multiple pairs of shoes, dozens of bags and such. And I know I don't need the items...so I feel bad about breaking down and getting them.

I am getting better though. I saw this shirt I loved at Kohl's recently - but didn't buy it, obsessed about it - and still didn't buy it! And guess what - I'm not dead! Yea!

I hate having an obsessive personality.
