I posted last night on the overeating thread, I thought it might be another good place to share some of the crap that goes with over-eating and the emotional garbage that comes with it - but I've just been and read the new posts and I'm finding it quite upsetting ... can't believe that a few posts can make me feel that way.
Talking about these things is fine ... but it's become a bit of a running commentary on what people have eaten today and I'm finding it distressing. People are posting that they've had two oranges and a piece of toast, or even worse eaten nothing until 2pm and then thinking that they have to justify eating lunch.
Plus having read the thread more thoroughly this morning, it's heartbreaking to read someone feeling "shit" because she's a size 16, and referring to herself as disgusting and huge. And there's me and my size 32 wondering how disgusting she'd think I am.
It's doing my head in - we've been trying on these threads not beat ourselves up or have a downer on ourselves, and so far I think that's worked for me, but that other thread has me ready to reach for the Green and Blacks!
I think I'll just stay here where it feels nice and cosy and everyone's on the same wavelength ... might have to go and raid the fridge though because that thread has really, really got to me. I can't believe how upset I feel, just one stupid thread and it's knocked me sideways.
