Only spent a little in town, got a long shirt I've been wanting for ages and it's now half price, had to get some boxers for mate as he'd run out, also got a new sports bra and a photo frame - the frame is to put a pic of my niece in
and the sports bra will come in handy for running - shock absorber one for 6 quid in TK Maxx - definitely worth a look! ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

Food diary...
B - orange
S - grapes
L - 1/3 of a salad...wasn't really hungry tbh
S -
D - turkey burger and veg ...nomnomnom to HM food!
Also, I downgraded my phone today to a cheaper model, saving me a tub of money...so today, instead of spending, I'm saving...£90 has gone in, meaning tomorrow I'll only be £23 overdrawn....which sounds better. Have asked Pint about money and he's going to sort me some, and also see if anyone wants to buy 2 Muse tickets for Sept...** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

I'm also due a PP payment this week, and a MM cheque, so I might actually start next week being in the black!
Also made an appointment to see the GP to introduce myself and to get some help...I think I am desperately in need of sorting my medication out....it's sunny, I'm happy for a little but around people I still want ot punch their heads in, regardless of who they are....THe voices are quiet so the weightloss must be affecting the quetiapine.....but I'm still wanting to cry all the !!!!ing time. Also seeing the asthma nurse Thursday as moving to the city has affected my asthma big time!** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

Not too bad a start, fell asleep on the sofa for an hour and woke up disorientated....not normal for me, I think it must be to do with the depression going haywire right now. Just checked BMI, it's now down to 27.2 from 30.3

Am waiting for the postie before going into town, to see if my Boots card turns up and then I can go on a mini spend with the points. I WILL have an NSD
So far...

Ok, big evening for me.
Pint came round. We had a hug, we had a chat, we had dinner.
Then I started crying. I started crying, because I don't know why. Because I realised that maybe, just maybe, I could see a future with him. And I'd messed it up big time, as I always do, by being jealous and possessive and generally being the world's biggest cow.
So, after a bit of oingy boingy (instigated on both sides, may I add) we had a chat. I said, if I was given a second chance, I'd do things differently. Obviously, we don't live together now, so I'm not there being an em!!!!!!ance as he has friends and I don't really, and I'm not getting all jealous. I said I actually WANT to sort my life out, I'm sick and tired of puking all the time and having all the crap in my head that just won't go. He said yes.
We're getting a second chance *smiles*
We are taking things slow for now, and going to see what happens. He's gone home tonight (and texted when he said he would, so that's a good start) and he said he'd stay round Friday, so we can spend time together. It's his big birthday thing on Sunday, and I said I'm not going, as I don't want to cause him or anyone else any hassle (both agreed as a good idea) But I will still text him, and pick him up a card tomorrow for Tuesday.
I'm sat here nearly crying, except this time, it's because I'm happy. I've been given a second chance. And yes, right now, I don't love him, I did, but it went because I got so sick of seeing him destroy himself constantly. And I could love him again.
Tomorrow morning, first thing (830am) is the GPs. I need ot go in and tell them things are getting bad, the eating is at its worst and I desperately need help. Big day for me....wish me luck!** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
