Iris, missy! Your day looks fine ... but what did you have inbetween? :giggle: xx
Iris, just been reading through your thread. I'm sorry you seem to be in a bit of a down mode at the moment. You are right to feel frustrated with the runaround you are getting whilst looking for help with your ED.
Hope you start to get back on track and feel a bit more positive.
Iris, there is no need to feel embarassed on this forum, you know that hun. None of us would condemn you for anything you felt/ate/done, at the end of the day, all we can do is offer support to each other.
Thanks Mary I know I shouldnt, but when I read back what lovely things you were all saying when I was doing well, I get embarrased at my steps back I suppose! I know you would never condemn...which is so lovely..you take me as I come. I just dont want to ever get anyone down with my negativity...so, I wont be negative
You do what you feel comfortable with though, and if you dont feel you can post what you eat, then that is fine, but I just wanted to let you know that I/WE are ALL here for you at anytime you just want to rant/rave/moan - whatever you feel like.
Thanks,,,I know posting is good as it gives accountability, but when I am bingeing I cant...it is part of the blooming affliction...feeling guilty about what has been consumed!
Just dont stop posting though, no lurking, just post hun. Omit your menu's if you like, but keep posting each day, even if only to say hello and let us know how friendly the bees are! (when they arrive)
Aw iris! :hug99: You've nothing to feel embarrassed about around here. We are all here to support you and are definatly not going to shoot you down for something.
You know what it feels like to be in that positive place, you're having a blip and hopefully you can get back there soon. Take it in baby steps sweet, this is something you got to overcome. Its not going to be easy and may take a while but i am sure if anyone, you can do it.
Like mary says - keep posting woman! Even if it is a simple hello! xxx
Oh Iris!!
I can only repeat what everybody else has said - with knobs on!
You know where I/we are and not posting will only make things worse!
I'm still waiting to hear from you too!
***big hugs*** xxx
Hive in all its entirety is here!! BOY, IT IS BIG!!!!!! we like it big Iris! (do we?) It is standing in the living room (hope its not staying there:8855 and takes up a lot of space! I bet it does Tunc is going to take a photo of it and him in his bee suit..well, no I am going to take a foto!! haha.....iyi sanslar
Today hasnt been a good day....but nearly the weekend and I am busy on Saturday down at the allotment and then on Sunday we are at the beekeepers meeting..the first one in Manchester, which will be really nice. My friend Laura is coming too, so we will meet her early in the morning and then go to the Turkish shop. (I wish we had a Turkish shop near us, only option I have is a kebab shop)
Oh, do you want me to get you CHICK PEAS?? Tanya/Jan? Mary, do you want some too? Not sure whether you get them when you go to Turkey? Leblebi (think that is the correct spelling)!!
After the Turkish shop, we will go to the beekeepers meeting....well, it is a social lunch! food again.hahahah...see, cant escape it, but I will be ok (in public, very good)!!!
So, lots planned.
Did I tell you about the pond?? Might have some good news as I found lots of stone, although need to find someone with a truck to go and collect it....but I have found a few companies that will give you grants! So, trying to do them at the minute. Also found some organisation that helps people that want to build ponds as they do recording of amphibians, esp toads, frogs and newts..they record where they are in the area, so the fact we want to encourage them, they will come and help you!! So, I sent them an email today, so will keep you posted on this! Would help me a lot as I am totally green as cabbage when it comes to ponds!!!!
That's about it.....food wise, well, lets just say, I ate...:8855::8855:
We were excited for you, but hey, what are friends for.........we are here to support and applaud you when you are excited, but we are also here to support and hold you when you are NOT as excited. I love this forum, and you are a lovely person Iris, who I am privleged to have gotten to know a little bit.Hi Guys
Didnt post yesterday; SORRY!!! Lesson one - never apologise for not posting.
Not going well at all...thinking Priory now! Just have to pay for it I suppose, but need to contact them and see whether I can maybe do one session a month as opposed to once a week, which would cost me £800 a month or thereabouts!!! extortionate amount of money, but if it helps, then it IS worth is chick, I just wish you could get MORE help from the NHS. Makes me mad when I see what SOME people can get, (illegal immigrants come to mind) but yet our OWN folks get nowt here! Don't start me on politics, religion has already been harbouring on my thoughts lately, lets keep politics out too :8855:
Frustrated with myself, and yes the big black cloud is over me now :-( AFTER ALL THAT POSITIVITY TOO, I FEEL RATHER GUTTED!!!! We need to get that sunshine back out Iris...........cum on hen, a ken ye can dae it
I tell you, it aint fun having to deal with this. I have been trying to analyse WHY I have got so bad...it was never like this, say 10 years ago! I have come up with all sorts of things, but I suppose just clutching at straws if I am honest.
Personally, I think we still act like fat people who have gone thin, and think we CAN do things like bingeing etc, but we cant. Thin people eat what they want, when they want, but its not very regularly. Its definitely a hit and miss situation with this, and I think if we could find the middle line, we would all be milionaires. You are human Iris,
I still dont feel right in myself; feel almost not here, and as though I have a virus, but maybe it is just the fact that I am not eating healthily!!!!
Maybe you should request a blood sample Iris, just to make sure there is nothing underlying here, better safe than sorry.
Again, analysing as per usual ah, well....onwards and upwards...suppose should go and do some work.
Just wanted to tell you all that I am lurking, and YES, I know...I need to post, but feel embarrased at the way I was so excited, etc, and now look at me :-(
:8855:
I'll pass on the chick peas too thanks Iris .. I'd only eat them lol! I've got a couple of tins that are destined to be seasoned and roasted eventually but every time I think about it I think the same thing ... what if I like them too much??
I wonder if there'll ever come a time I'm not scared of food xx
you will soon have a proper little botanical garden there, and you remind me so much of a little florence nightingale. Jeez iris, i bet you wouldnt even swat a fly with a newspaper!
just watch me!! Was trying to get one last night....hahaha
hey chick, seems like you have had a happy day what with the hive, and sorting out the toads/frogs now - ribbit.
:8855::8855:
Looking forward to seeing some pics of bee keeper tunc......hehe.
so am i!! Hahaha.....oh, taking them is no probs, it is getting them posted on here!
i will give it a miss on the chick peas, but thank you all the same for asking. I am going to make more of an effort to bring more spices home from turkey this time, the wednesday market is filled with stuff, so if you want to give me any tips on what to look for (turkish name - translated to english) i would be really grateful.
Thank you iris.
i tend to you fresh herbs, like dill! Couldnt be without this at all, and coriander....i also like sumac and kara biber(black pepper) (seems better from turkey)....they use a lot of mint, etc..again it seems different than over here!!! Another herb that i cant think what it is called now....
same here iris, thanks for the offer though chicken xxx
