This makes sense. I have read a lot of Paco Underhill's work ( he basically designed the modern department store for the maximum purchases ) , but I had never heard this.</p> <p>I am so going through this now that I have made 3 purchases the last two days after almost 13 weeks on SYC. I am just itching to buy.</p> <p>Many years ago I smoked. I have asthma and I did research on cigarette smoke (it's ugly ) yet I could not quit after several tries. Finally, I came to the realization that I just had to go cold turkey and not even allow myself one socially. I haven't touched a cigarette since, but I know that if I ever touch one I will be having 3 packs the next day. I can feel it.</p> <p>Darn, I can go without smoking but I can't go naked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-momentum-and-syc#post-238756 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 23:28:04 +0000 Queen Mum 238756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very interesting.<br /> Yes, I can feel the ball get rolling once I have started making a few purchases in a new season. I'm hoping that after SYC I can be aware and stick to my list and limit my number of purchases each month. Once I get rid of ... I mean, once my kids are on their own I can enjoy more impulse shopping. Until then, I really need to make every dollar count.</p> <p>Don't know that a keychain would tempt me at all though..LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-momentum-and-syc#post-238733 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:54:58 +0000 taylor 238733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! I can relate and agree with much that was stated. It makes perfect sense to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-momentum-and-syc#post-238702 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 21:31:41 +0000 bj1111 238702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>on the syc weekly updates, several have commented that breaking the ban with one item often led to a major shop, rather than stopping at that one item.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/research/khan_shopping.html">here's</a> an interesting analysis of the shopping process. i can see the "momentum" behavior apply to food diets as well as shopping diets.</p> <p>thoughts? </p>
