Hi Sara, thanks for the input! I feel more in control today than I have in years...actually ever.

I like the idea about replacing things...that is what I will do for now on, now understand I am in the process of losing weight (down 30lbs already) so I do need to replace clothing.

I did something yesterday that I thought I would share. My biggest problem when it comes to spending is shopping with dd. Yesterday we spent the entire day in the mall without buying a single thing and it was fun! We both left with big smiles on our faces...this is definately a first for both of us. But I need to start training her also...I don't want her where I am when she is my age...

As afar a Ima is concerned, we have agreed not to argue, but I can tell you she is nothing like my grandmother...
