Hi ILGD. I want to say 'hope the funeral goes well' but that sounds insensitive. I hope you know what I mean. Will be thinking of you and yours today.

Hey Meyore! What sort of gym do you go to? I got into the gym for a while, but haven't been in a long time. OH just started going back to the gym after a break of several years and picked up exactly where he left off, running miles on the treadmill! Some people eh!! Did the leg waxing go okay? I had it done once, but it was still a bit stubbly. Is that normal, or did I get a bad job? Hope the second day of your break is nice. By the way, is that you in your avatar?

Hi, hope you're having a great holiday-the picture was lovely. I'm jealous, I haven't been anywhere nice in over a year! The last time I went anywhere was Jan last year and that was Prague-the picture of me in my avatar was taken in a bar over there.

I go to quite a small gym-its not particularly modern, but it does the job and I enjoy it there. They reckon your muscles have memory, so once you go back to the gym its easier to pick up than when you first start.

My legs are still a bit spikey in places-she did warn me about that, she says because all the hairs are different lengths they'll need doing again in a fortnight, then after that they should be smooth and ok.

I'm a little tired today, so I'm off for a soak in the huge tub. Its absolutely huge, you can fit four people in it! I'm going to the capital Seoul tonight with OH and two guys he works with. I'll know the bus route then, so I can go to an AA meeting there tomorrow night. I've never been to a meeting on another continent! Its an English speaking meeting, but I don't know how many people will be there. I imagine it'll be very small, there are hardly any English speaking people here.

Good luck with your meeting tomorrow-bet you're nervous about going there. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day and you had a nice bath-everything sounds amazing there, I'd love a huge bath like that!

Hi steph. He has his assessment starting on Sunday, so I should see him before that. Hes not very happy at the moment and hes convinced hes going to fail, so I'm trying to cheer him up by texting him nonsense!

Hope you're ok-now get back to work!

Hi SF Glad you are enjoying walking. I went for a 2 mile walk around the City Walls today, it was cold but beautiful. There is something about walking that helps sort your thoughts out isn't there? I just want to say that no matter how much you eat, you aren't a pig, or greedy or anything else you might thing. A lot of people with depression use food as a way to cope, and if you do too, that doesn't make you a bad person.

There is something about walking clearing your thoughts - I just go around the outside road on campus, and I reckon its about 2 miles round trip. As long as I can remember, I've used food as a method of control, or lack of it, to feel better.

I'm a Compulsive Overeater, and I know the horrible feelings that overeating cause. Try not to dwell on that. If you try your hardest to stick to a healthy and sensible eating plan, you are doing brilliantly. It doesn't matter how many slip ups you have, if you keep trying you are a sucess. I know its hard not to think about it though.

I honestly think some days I fit into the compulsive overeater category, but then other days I hardly eat at all. Its a very hard cycle.

Do you think that removing the scales would help? What about seeing a dietician to get a healthy, balanced and structured eating plan sorted out? If you ever want to talk about overeating, dieting, weight or anything like that, I'm always around. I'm not 'abstinent' at the moment. I had almost 8 months without sugar/flour and a few other things, but decided to have a break while on holiday. I've had periods of 'control' but I don't think that that is healthy. I understand you missing it though, I do too. I find it difficult to strike a balance between eating too much and not enough.

I think at the moment, removing the scales would be too bigger commitment - I weigh myself every morning, religiously so, and i don't think I can do without it for now. Maybe one day, though.

You said ' I can't remember much of school as it all passed in a blur of self harming and hating'. That is exactly how I felt. I was noticed at school, a lot. I was very attention seeking - I was hurting so much I would do anything to try and get people to help me.

The thing is, I didn't want other people to notice - I had a parent teaching at the same school, and had known most of the teachers since I was a little girl. I just wanted to hide in the background, but everyone had different ideas.

I hope you're okay today. xx

I could do with some suggestions

We are really tempted go back south. The job isn't secure and we have means to live on our house sale money interest. We both have skills and feel we are not living to our full potential up here.

I have never felt happy in Scotland or Oxford - they have been places where my OH got work. If our relationship is the cause of my misery I can always leave him at another time.
