  • I either go find a big cookie and then feel guilty the rest of the day that when I walk in the door to my apartment I confess to my husband immediately – I actually look down at the floor – I'm such a loser.
  • Or I buy a present for someone else.

So instead of doing something nice for me….I do something destructive to myself or blow money on someone else. I know I'm not alone; I'e talked to several women who do the same thing.
