How to control my shoe obsession?

Ok what about this instead of trying to STOP your self from being selfish (no offence) turn it around and instead of keeping it all to your self try giving some of them up to girls that dont have a purse or any shoes,,,

Maybe instead of starving children you can think of all the little girls that are being sold for sex girls from 6-16yrs old ,,, They have nothing in their name not a home not one person to love them not a single thing they can call THIERS,,,but instead they have to get on their hands and knees and preform things for sick and twisted older men.

I AM SO SORRY I DONT MEAN TO COME OFF AS RUDE OR ANYTHING because your SUCH A SWEET HEART AND GOOD AT GIVING ADVICE BUT IF THIS DOESNT CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS THEN I TRULLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU

you can always try a therapist

Why not try setting a limit as to how much you can spend every month on shoes, bags, ect. like, I don’t know $1000? I mean, is it like you go every day to places that have shoe stores? I mean, at least your obsession is not bad, like doing drugs or something similar. It is sad that those things happen to children, but there is nothing that you can do about it. Its not like you buying shoes or not buying shoes is really going to make a difference in what happens to those children. Just ignore the people that try to make you feel that your “vice”, (which is really not bad at all) is something to be ashamed about. It is not. There are probably lots or reasons why you like to get new shoes, apart from the “cuteness factor”, like the rush of finding something that you like. It may be a stress reliever. If it is really bothering you, I guess you could go see a therapist, but since shoe obsessions are not considered a mental health problem, it probably wouldn’t help. ;)

buy a pair of shoes and get over it

ok well I dont know how to help you but I do know what works FOR ME

Every time I see all these world possessions all these things that dont mean anything that you come home from a hard days work just to buy a purse or pair of shoes

When I pass by a store and I think “OMG those are so cute I must just this once” I think of all the starving kids that that one purse or pair of shoes will feed

that doesnt work I’ve tried that I’ve tried all sorts but my obsession is crazy!! my mum never shuts up going on bwt my obsesion nor do my family an my fiance trys his best 2 keep me out of shoe shops lol it never works though he ended up buying me e pairs of shoes and a pair of boots and a bag an sum tops!!

lol thankyou for all your comments, I but for other people too, my fiance as came up wid an idea its my b’day in april, an im geting around £400 4 my b’day also im going on holiday in september, so im guna split that money as save half 4 my holiday and the only thing I can think of when I go on holiday is what shoes is there lol me not buying shoes is not going to help the children that are less fortunate, although I wish it did help thankyou for all your advice lets hope it works!!! lol

If you change the way you think you change the way you act. If you tell youreself its bad @ stupid to wast money on shoes then youll feal bad @ stupid when you buy them.Also try to avoid walking or driving past the shoe store if at all posible.

Omg!! I luv shooes too!! I have thirty pairs of shoes..that are heelz and cute ballet flats..not including tennis shoes or flip flops..horray!! Infact I need to go shoe shoppin now!

oh one word…WILLPOWER!! So yeh think oh what else you can buy that’s NOT shoes or bags! Like things for your friends.
