I'm documenting my journey to try and recover from an eating disorder over the year. I know I'm not alone in this struggle, so thought I'd share my experiences.

morning Jokers. I can't stop as running late for work but didn't want not answer. It sounds very much like his anger had nothing to do with you and the outburst. (could be totally off the mark. sorey can't thinl of another word.
) more that he's stressed about something and that's how it came out. (only if this hasn't happened before lots) That may be why he's acting ok now. But that certainly doesn't make it right. I would sit him down when he gets home and tell him how it made you feel. That way he can see your face. Then see what he has to say. A big sorry I hope. I'm with the others you haven't done anything wrong.xx

Thankfully I'm in the office on my own, so I can keep phone.with me
Can you get out and maybe go see a movie? Something that stops your exercise from taking over?
When you say the mood changes. It soumd like this wasn't a one off. Has it been happening more lately?

He's been s bit off lately but nothing major then was lovely over the past week.
I've got my cook books out and i'm going to bake bake bake! Then take them out to friends in the area. Got lots of lovely elderly people close by so I'll drop off some treats to each one spread some love
Planning scones, choc cookies, vanilla cupcakes, carrot cake, lemon drizzle cake and hot cross buns.

So can you normally paint them in multiples?
I just got out of this doctors. Shit news, I have hurt my back and shouldn't be running I'm gutted as this has been a big help to keeping me on track. I don't even know if I should be lifting weights. if I can't do that either I'll be devastated. I'm allowed to swim, but I don't know if a couple of months swimming will be enough to keep me on track for my event in November. can't see my trainer until 23rd. Sat in the car park trying not to cry. got 2 weeks to improve before I'm sent to phsio. 6 weeks and I'd. need an MRI.

Oh my! Poor you 
physio wouldn't be the worse thing ever. They can talk with your trainer and will take into account all of your needs.
Look after yourself x

Oh fighting , you must be gutted. First of all, have a good cry. Then try and think about the bigger picture of why you signed up for the race. Better health and fitness, a focus. Swimming and yoga will get you in great shape and hopefully you will be up to the challenge, it's still a long time until it happens so keep aiming for it. If, when it comes to it, you aren't though, you will still be so much fitter than you are now and there will be another race to sign up for.

Well done Fighting, glad you are feeling better. You are still a runner you know, just one that's out of normal action for a while . Happens to the best of them.
Do you have any kind of spiritual belief? Not necessarily religion but maybe about the mysterious way the world works? Would it help to see the injury as a challenge to teach you something? Possibly to let go of control slightly and work with the way things are, that you can't change?

Thanks ladies. It's great that we are helping to get the topic out there. Plus I like that we all talk.x
sleep I definitely do have a spiritual side. It's something I was thinking about today, that there may be a reason for it. I guess in time I may see what that is. Quite keen to get into the yoga now. I didn't have time while running, maybe that's something. Thank you for the comment about me still being a runner, I was feeling the opposite but you're right. I'm a runner with an injury that has lifted me a bit. You're going to make a great coach (don't know if you have picked a title yet). I'm really glad you came onto the post and feel lucky to have your advice and guidance.x

Thanks fighting, really glad if I'm helping at all. I am going to be a (Certified...next month) Eating Psychology Coach although I've had a bit of a battering from a poster on another thread about it this afternoon (I can take it) so your compliment is very well timed for me, so thanks for lifting me too!
