Checking In

With America's economic structure faltering as much as it is, I am beginning to realize how much this fast will help me shape my current and future consumption habits. As a result of curtailing my shopping urges, I have also reigned in the frequency of which I shop in general. I wish I had been keeping a statistical log of when I would seek retail therapy over the years, so I could see just how much time, energy, and money that I am not spending. If there was ever a time in my life that I would venture into a fast like this-- I am so glad it's now.
