    I have really been wallowing these past couple of days and comfort eating beyond comfort eating...not sure why? Boredom? Fear? Sadness?

    I dont feel sad. In fact, I have so much to look forward to and things are good at home...

    Boredom? Yes, but I am loving the time alone at home but why do I have to ruin it by eating crap? I cant seem to just relax and ENJOY

    Fear? I dont know...I really need to get to the bottom of this as what I currently doing is simply not working and the self loathing is creeping back very quickly!

    Ames - i love both those dresses but dare i say it, you might be too boobilicious for them! I cant think many of simply be's demographic could seriously get away with either style.... unless you spoil it by wearing a bra and covering up shoulders with a shrug... which kinda defeats the purpose.

    Please dont be offended... maybe you have got perkier boobs than i could ever dream of, but i know you're not small on top, so please dont be offended by my pointing it out....

    Is it because you're kind of in limbo until the new job starts? Also after the high of hearing you got the job you could be missing the adrenalin (bit like post party blues)...

    You just left a place where you were miserable so it might be just the gap left by that stress lifting?

    Working full time (even in a job you hate) gives days structure automatically so it can be easy to be indulgent when the structure is gone. Have you got things planned to do until work/holidays or are you just taking each day as it comes? If I find myself slipping into those habits I write up a to do list and get cracking with it...

    Just some thoughts sweetie...

    Bun, maybe its because everything is settling down and getting better. Almost over relaxing?

    I agree with what Luc said bunny... you are in no mans land at the moment, and you're not sad/scared/bored... just quite simply you are in limbo...

    which is a horrible place to be... but you know your direction so it's actually all good....
