OT: Budgeting

Something we tend to forget is that just as there can be an emotional eating problem, there can also be an emotional spending problem. The psychology of money has to be addressed in addition to all of those tips.

For me, my food and spending patterns are the same... or at least have been in the past
I would diet and restrict my choices and then go "off" the diet and splurge too much. My inner voice says, "I haven't spent anything on clothes/toys/gadgets in over 6 months. I can buy something now."

Thanks for this post... It helped me recognize this pattern!
