@Shanus It will be so much better for your health to get up and move rather than stay seated with the tv.You will save money,get fit and feel more energetic.You have to expend energy to get energy.Yo can get outside more and experience nature and life...see people and enjoy interacting with them rather than watching sales presentations.These presenters are not our friends,they are salespeople and their job is to find out what makes us buy.

@Shanus  I used to be a big QVC customer when I worked.  Now I just buy if I see a nice top or pair of pants that I need.  Trying to cut back.  But yesterday I watched VPH and I purchased candlesticks and flowered candle rings.  Thought they were very pretty so I ordered.  She had so many pretty things for spring and Easter season.  Had to stop myself.  I'm bad.  So good luck Shanus !

@Shanus   I'm not in your shoes but I commend you for taking these steps and I feel certain you will get control of the situation!!!!

I've never been a big QVC buyer compared to many - I might purchase 6-8 things a year of varying cost, rarely over $100 at a time. But, I did use to have it on for background noise a lot, and would very occasionally buy something I saw during that time.

The past 10 or so months, though,I don't turn it on at all, simply because (1) there is never anything new, and (2) I hate 30-45 min. infomercials and don't watch them, period, whether they're on QVC or an "As Seen On TV" channel.

These days, if I buy something it's because I happened across it by accident.

@Quse. Great idea. I do have a TV on the wall in front of my treadmill. That would help if switched channels only during commercials. May be better than the "cold turkey" approach.

@SeaMaiden. I'm here if you need to be talked down from the ledge. Maybe we should start a real support group. 😜

Thanks for vote of confidence @CareBears. It was 78 here in NC today. Took Sadie and Molly for a long walk. I did some weeding since rain predicted tomorrow. Completed 3 loads of laundry and then showered. No QVC or tv on all day. That's an accomplishment!!!

[Shanus]

That helps @dex. Think of the hosts as the enemy. Yep! Got it.

[Shanus]

@patnap. Guess you're in same boat as I am. Just turn off TV if tempted to buy.

[Shanus]

Good point @Moonchilde. If I don't turn on the Q, I'm not tempted to buy. Wonder if my cable company can put child lock on that channel.....Ooooh. I'll call in the morning.
