I agree.

And I find that attempts to make myself un-fat are kind of useful in blocking out the even more destructive thoughts and voices and feelings.

But easier when you are on an even keel. It's all very circular and bound up.

Mitchy1nge · 02/02/2015 09:44

'bound up' is the sad consequence of attacking your body fat too determinedly

I'm already fat and mentally umm sensitive at times (stress, anxiety, insomnia and foul temper) so I really don't know.

why is there never an option of slim, beautiful, well-off, healthy, smart & happy?

Oh dear, that was disconcerting viewing.

Is accuracy enforced in UK labelling?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 02/02/2015 11:21

If I watch it will it make me question everything I've ever believed?

toothpasteinthetree · 02/02/2015 11:30

You will be fine at Subway and Starbucks. Hold onto that.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 02/02/2015 11:31

But I don't eat at subway! No much choice.

Millie2013 · 02/02/2015 11:38

Things wot I'm putting off doing:

  • emailing DT
  • writing a letter
  • sorting out my car
  • sorting out my life

There are more. Many more

Is Snowy about yet?

CaulkheadUpNorth · 02/02/2015 11:40

Send the email first. Then you will have done something.

Millie2013 · 02/02/2015 11:52

It's a plan. If I don't send it, she will kick my arse!

Mitchy1nge · 02/02/2015 12:45

and enpo, where is she at?

have to go crawling back to physio with my calf disorder

am scared they will say 'don't run' like they always do :(

OP posts:
Millie2013 · 02/02/2015 12:50

I tend to ignore instructions like that (or ignore people who issue them)

Mitchy1nge · 02/02/2015 13:10

have you sent that email?

am going to drown my sorrows in an omelette

need to see/speak to those cmht type people, they've left me intriguing voicemail

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 02/02/2015 13:12

Do you have a reconvening appt or just to ring them back?

Mitchy1nge · 02/02/2015 13:17

we were meant to reconvene at 11:30 but I genuinely forgot and went for a run. which went well, what with the sharp pain/can't walk properly now outcome

someone will call back, they said they NEED to talk to me about the results so maybe something interesting has happened

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 02/02/2015 13:19

I suppose I could call them but must be easier if they do it at their convenience, am in all day now anyway, waiting for waitrose to bring me a lifetime supply of Fage 0%

what am I meant to do about my fucking calf Angry

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 02/02/2015 13:29

Ring them then ring the people who fix calves. Doctors?

Millie2013 · 02/02/2015 14:15

Email sent, to explain that I'd forgotten what I was meant to be emailing about :/ Brain fog today.,,.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 02/02/2015 14:31

Well done Millie.
I've got dressed, after spending the morning staring at the wall/my eyelids and I'm going to go and write job applications. Thrilling.

Mitchy1nge · 02/02/2015 15:10

have achieved CPN, finally, she doesn't understand the trauma that is a mild calf strain - a day off is not going to repair it, besides I had practically a whole week off last week

on plus side have scored some more lithium so should be a bit more normal for me soon

OP posts:
CaulkheadUpNorth · 02/02/2015 15:14

WooHoo! How much are they giving you now?
And
Want to write job applications for me?

I've ticked the box to say I have a disability so they HAVE to interview me. You can say what you want. Possibly.

Mitchy1nge · 02/02/2015 15:23

1000mg, still lower than normal

oh please don't make me do that sort of thing Confused
