Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I understand it too but from other obsessions... I'm also a cross stitcher, though I haven't done any in a looong time but for years I accumulated tons of fabrics, so many charts it was beyond insane, magazines, lots and lots and lots of threads (all kinds of different fibers), books about techniques, etc. I FINALLY admitted toward the end of last year that while I might still do some, I was NEVER going to get to some of the extremely difficult projects I had always intended to learn to do and that I wasn't going to do probably 80-90% of the charts I had so I sold a huge amount of it on eBay and other things that wouldn't sell I freecycled. It felt great to know it would go to people who were either going to collect them (and enjoy looking through them, feeling the fibers and fabrics, etc.) or use them and the extra cash I got from selling some was nice too and I got a weird weight off me... guilt I guess it was. I hate having "stuff" that I'm not enjoying or using and I felt "pressure" to use it even though no one but me knew it was there or cared. As an extra plus, I now have extra storage containers in my basement I can use for things I really do need to store (seasonal decorations, seasonal clothes) that were just sitting on open shelves and I didn't have to spend the money on them. Don't take this as even suggesting any of you should get rid of your workout tapes... just telling you what I decided I wanted to do but it took me YEARS to get there. And yes, with encouragement from all of you I have at least 10 workout tapes on my eBay watch list right now... lose one obsession, pick up another, at least I'll have storage space for my new one I guess!

OMG! dont you even think about it! LOLOL im just kidding.... i totally hear what you are saying... besides fitness dvds, i also have large collections of books and music cds. i cant bear to part with a single one of those either, but you are right that in some years i might feel differently. besides other things, this 'do every workout in 2007' project is an attempt to determine what i can comfortably weed out of my collection... it might result in still keeping everything, but at least im trying :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 LOL! I might have to start hiding my workouts in dresser drawers too. My DH also supports my fitness efforts, but I know he thinks I have enough workouts already, but he doesn't say anything when I have to have the next new " must have " workout. LOL!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think it is a great idea to work on trying them all out (and then possibly getting rid of some you didn't end up liking much)! Should give you great variety and a lessening any negative feelings associated with having so many! I should have added I still have way too many needlework supplies. I couldn't get rid of all the patterns because some I have an emotional attachment to and others I swear I'm going to get to and of course, if I do, then I want to have all those fibers and larger pieces of fabrics so that I don't have rebuy them! :-) Books are another thing I love to collect but we just don't have the room in our house so I keep weeding those out every few months. I don't re-read novels so I'm usually okay with getting rid of those (now, I didn't used to be). My daughter has definitely inherited the packrat thing... "But I NEEEEEEEED this little flag that was on my hamburger even though it is torn! My stuffed animals use it for their parties!" When she comes up with a "reason" for keeping something I have a really hard time coming up with a better reason for why she doesn't need to keep it. Unfortunately for me, she's really bright and comes up with creative reasons for EVERYTHING! Hopefully she'll learn from some of my better examples!

That is wonderful that you have someone who understands your obsession, and yes, I think it would be safe to say you probably got your obsessions from him. LOL! | yay!! he is a keeper, thats for sure! Yup, he sure is. He's going to try set it up so I can put my VHS onto DVD when he has time. We'll see if it works. Thanks Vennitta for your post on that, I told my DH about it and he said he had that little gizmo already! Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
