Giving up old habits!

This may sound funny to some of you but I vowed to myself 4 weeks ago that I would only allow myself to have Starbucks on the weekends. Why did I do that? Well, I have been going everyday for, at least, the last two years. It is so bad that all the Starbucks employees know me and one time, one of them even said "Oh, I haven't seen you in a while. I thought something happened to you." haha.......Now that tells you when you have a problem.

It is mostly for money reasons that I stopped and it doesn't help that Starbucks has gone up in price 3 times in the last year. So, what I would get was almost $4. Since the price of everything is going up, I need the money  and since I have the situation with my dogs that I recently blogged about (which is the majority of the reason I am doing it!), in the last 4 weeks, I have only had 2! I really don't spend alot of money on anything and that has been one of my few vices so it was a big deal to me! I figured if I told myself I couldn't have it at all, then I would crave it more so I just have been telling myself, I can have 1 a week and only on the weekends but I haven't even had that! I had a friend tell me that it I wouldn't even think about it in a week of not having it and I told her no way! I was right....I think about it a couple times a day now but in the beginning for at least 2 weeks, it was constant. I will have saved $94 as of this weekend!

This may sound crazy to some of you! haha.....But I am proud of myself! My other addiction is Snapple and there is no way I am giving that up yet! Am I the only one or do any of you have any similar addictions whether it be drinks or food or anything?
