Does anyone ever sit at the computer and "pretend" online shop/wishlist things that will someday be a reality?
I like to do this... everyone I know tells me that it's weird.
Oh well.
I like going to stores online like Pottery Barn and I fake-register for all sorts of things for my "future house"... If I had unlimited space and money.
I like doing this for clothing too: for my dream body that I am on my way to having.
I may never be able to afford these clothes, but it's nice motivation knowing that I'll one day be able to fit in to them (with out getting the largest size available)
Does anyone else do this??
Does anyone have site suggestions??
Please no rude "that's weird" or negative comments, I've gotten enough of that.
I like Mod Cloth and heels dot com

Occasionally I'll allow my browser to wander over to Burberry's web site. So many pretties.

thank you for replying... I was starting to get lonely with the refresh button...

I totally just did after i posted that. Usually I love drooling over their shoes, but the ones they've got up now are just meh.
My biggest thing is deal sites. Places like 1saleaday dot com or Shadora dot com, woot dot com, etc...0 -
those sites are DANGEROUS. I went on the site for Zara. when i went there, they had a lot of things with sparkles. I was happy.
I went on the site... it was....................butt.0 -
I actually have a pending shopping list for when I reach my goal LOL. Tell me that isn't sad!0

Funny. I have been know to fill up a buggy full of items at VictoriasSecret.com or Maccosmetics.com. I will total up the price, and even go to retailmenot.com to find coupon codes. I then strategically try to figure out how much overtime I would have to work to pay for it all. LOL. And to think I thought I was the only one....0

I'm on Pinterest and I've got a goal weight board with all the clothes I want to wear when I lose my weight. Part of it helps keep me motivated so I keep working to fit into those clothes but the other part of it is frustrating because I want to fit in those clothes NOW and I'm ready to be done being overweight.0

When I am having a really crappy day or i just want some comfort food I love to shop around online. It reminds me of what I'm working on and I no longer want that fattening, sodium filled comfort food. I want to wear cute dresses, jeans, switsuits, etc. and not worry about what fat roll is bulging out. It keeps me motivated!0

I do this all the time x 0

I do this all the time lol. Most weekends I find myself looking at houses for sale and I pick the 1 I want in case I win the lottery saturday night! Also clothes, shoes and bags etc. Not just for me, for my kids too lol. I'm a dreamer, always have been, but I don't see the harm in it. I always scrape by week to week moneywise and I don't look how I want to at the moment so I dream!
I'm glad I'm not the only one too lol 0 -
Ha!
I do this a lot!
Mainly for houses- - I go and pick out my expensive dream home with the pool and everything
For clothes, I like Victorias Secret and Fredricks of Hollywood
One of these days I am going to be fit enough to wear those clothes.
Its fun and I do it when I am stressed. It helps to calm my nerves!!0 -

This! Am in love with Pinterest!0 -
yep I call it play shopping my guy thinks it's odd0

yes!
i look at cute corsets and lolita dresses i dream of wearing but know at my size i would look ridiculous in (if you dont know what they are look them up) (:0 -
Honey, if you could just see my "shopping cart" and "wishlist" on th' Interwebz, you'd fall out dead. I *love* play shopping, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the real thing! BTW, Pinterest is sort of the megaultragranddaddy of all wishlists. Don't say I didn't warn you; it's virtual crack. 0

I do it almost everyday. I mostly shop for my dream house/kitchen, cooking/bake-ware, and decorations for my dream cakery (A bakery that specializes in cakes (cupcakes, character cakes, cake pops)). Lately it's one of the few things keeping me sane since i've lost a lot of my normal every day life over the last few months. I'm afraid to go to the ikea website because I could build my dream kitchen/cakery but I'm afraid I'll pass out from the awesomeness. :P
I need to start throwing these things on my Pinterest page.0 -

i LOVE MUSTANGS!0 -
^^^^^ This! I had a wishlist filled and registered at Victorias Secret and Fredericks of Hollywood. I also like to house shop... with a pool and an acre for the dog to run and a pond for him to fish in... etc.Ha!

^^^ Love this! I adore corsets and lolita dresses and I sometimes "build" a closet of them and cosplay outfits from my favorite animes.0 -
I totally do this. I have an entire wardrobe on pinterest

Hahaha, I do this ALLLL the time. Just random crap and clothes!0

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. and yes, Pinterest is like virtual crack... I should have been asleep hours ago0

I don't just shop - I buy clothes for when I'm skinny - I have about 3 dresses in my skinny wardrobe, mainly because I found them on sale and just couldn't refuse a bargain like that! My goal date is October 2012 for when I go on holiday and I cannot wait to wear the dresses I've brought.
Everyone thinks I'm crazy (which I am) but it keeps me motivated. Every time I want to stuff my face with crap I just think of the pretty dresses I'm going to wear soon!0
