Helen's quest for good health!

Afternoon Helen m'lovely
Just treated myself to the SW Entertaining cook book
after you recommended it.... Ive only flicked through
so far but at a glance it looks very good
 
Helennnnnn, are you ok?? X
 
Sorry I've been AWOL, thanks Kally for texting me.

I have been burning candle at both ends and feel absolutely exhausted and totally off plan.

From Mark's birthday I have been so busy, had a fancy dress party last Saturday, didn't go to bed until nearly 5am, then did Nights including a Double thrown in for good measure, I then had work Christmas party, again stayed up until 4am and then had work the next day, that then took me up to yesterday when I was an early but got home and needed to write some Christmas cards as so far behind this year hence not coming on here again.

During all this I came down with a stinking cold, today it feels slightly easier as I can actually breathe through my nose. I want to curl up in a ball and sleep and not get up for weeks!

What has frustrated me is I've planned on being on plan but don't know whether it was the cold or the Nights but all I've wanted to do it eat, non stop!

I'm going to go to diaries now but I won't have time to read them all today so hope everyone's okay x

This is my outfit from last Saturday, was supposed to be Marilyn Monroe x

Thanks hun, if I'd given in to the cold it would have been better as obviously having very little sleep this week hasn't helped it!

Guessing wanting to eat all the time is fuel for my body as its so tired!

Hope you're well, I'll get on your diary now x
 
Helen you look awesome :D

Take care and please try and get more sleep!! Xx

Don't you look fab as Ms Monroe wooooooohhhh
 
Well today has been a revelation.. Thought I'd start reading through diaries, got to Emma's and read the first page from a week ago and ended up sitting there crying my eyes out, I text her and she has been brill and I have calmed down now.

It was about her binging and not coming on here as she was embarrassed and trying to get to the bottom of it, I then had a lightbulb moment and realised when this binge started.

It was last week at the fancy dress party I was at. Some guy having been nice to me all evening just started making sly comments when no one else was listening, at first I thought he was joking but he was really not nice, I sobered up really quickly and at one point was hid outside as I didn't want to face him, my friend wanted to punch him but got told not too, I ended up speaking to him and thought we'd sorted it, he didn't realise he'd said anything wrong (apparently!) so I shook his hand and we went back inside.

Thing is it didn't stop and he said comments when no one else was listening, I then found out he was also staying the night so I really wasn't impressed, he went and laid down on the lilo and I asked if he could get off it as I was sleeping on there and he made some comment about not being able to fit on it with me anyway and I lost it, I started kicking him and told him he was a bully (among other swear words I won't say on here), I said people like him make me sick and why only say things when other people aren't there, I got pulled off him and we slept in different rooms, I hardly slept that night, I was really upset, my boss (whose party it was) had said he's never seen me like that, so upset.

Thing is I thought I was okay until it dawned on me today that its since then I've been binging, thanks to Emma's texts I'm now not.

I called Mark at work this morning and he is fuming, we've barely seen each other all week as I've been Nights and stayed at a hotel on Wednesday so although he knew I was upset he didn't realise how bad, he wants to knock the guy into next week so lets hope we never see him again.

I feel so much better now its off my chest and thanks again to Emma x
 
Wow Marilyn you look fab!!!

I have just read about that git at the party, what a complete and utter moron... What gives anyone the right to treat another human being like that is beyond me... The thing you have to keep in mind Helen is that people like that are deeply insecure and use others as a vent for what they fear most that people will see that they are themselves are flawed... It's hard to keep that in mind when someone is being so vile, and it is usually afterwards that you can see it... Please leave his hurtful remarks where they belong in the sewer he should live in... Sending huge hugs...xx

Oh that is awful. What an absolute ass. What gives him the right to say that to anyone. I hope karma comes back and makes him oh so fat!

Wow Helen you looked amazing as Marilyn and as for Mr Twonk :grrrrrrrrrrrrr: just remember my lovely his issues are his issues not yours sweetie. What a nasty man xxxxxxxxx

Thanks girls for all your support, I can't believe it took me a week to work it out but I suppose I tried to put him to the back of my mind.. Not very well!

My Mark is very fit and totally not violent but I dread to think what this guy would look like if Mark got his hands on him, he was so cross, I think secretly he was cross with himself as well that he didn't take it seriously last week, he thought I meant the guy was a drunken bum and was annoying everyone not just insulting me.

I do think the guy has issues, when he first arrived he was lovely, he didn't know anyone (other than the hosts boyfriend) so I was making him drinks and chatting to him to make sure he was okay and then he just started slowly saying things, 90% of people at the party were gay and I'm convinced he's unsure of his sexuality.

I can't believe how quick the binge stopped after I realised what was causing it, I'm actually quite amazed by it, I went to Waddesdon food fair and would usually be in my element and had it been a few hours earlier I would have bought so much stuff I would have regretted, instead I bought a few bits for Mark (Christmas cake, chocolate pots, plum gin) and some vinegar and a chutney for Christmas.

What I would have bought was hot cinnamon whirls, sampled and bought all the chocolates, loads of cheese, liquorice, pastries etc and lunch wise I could have had duck burger, Aberdeen Angus burger, sausages in a roll all from local farms.. No I didn't have any of it!

I may have turned a corner!

Thanks again everyone and I'll try and get through the diaries without crying now! X
