Hi DD it's good to hear from you. Your holiday looked amazing on Facebook. Congratulations to the girls on their engagements. Hoping they don't decide to have babies together. Then you'll really be busy! Good luck with the triathlon. It's good to have something to think about that's not work related.  Take care of yourself xox

[Deniser]

I'm surprised you found time to drop in now with all that is going on in your life.  Sorry to hear about your trials and tribulations but pleased to hear of engagements and Ironman and even a new Pizza dough - sounds like something we might need to try.  Take care of yourselves and enjoy this time

Good luck with your training DD and your DD weddings. I hope things improve at work. Also looking forward to your recipe

DD I'm concerned that you are not eating properly You are not going to reach your full potential if you are going to exercise at full hilt but grab at sugar hits to get you through. You need to talk to your PT and get some easy peasy recipes off her that you can make. I think you may also need to confess that you are not eating properly so that you can reach your full potential as you are training so hard and the human body can only take so much before other complications kick in like chronic fatique etc.

Sorry Mum I'll try to eat better. 

I have a confession to make that only 3 other people know. I struggle with binge eating. Like a true binger I do my best to hide it from everyone, including family.  I am trying to conquer it but for every two steps forward I seem to take a step backwards. When I am tired and stressed is when I tend to binge.  Lately I have been tired and stressed a lot. 

Before now I have only ever told DW (she was aware I didn't hid it as good as I thought), Amy and the person who is helping me to beat it.  I hope that publicly acknowledging this problem is another step on the road to recovery.

DD I can truly understand that. I certainly used to do it too. A block of chocolate or a packet of biscuits couldn't beat me. If it was there I would eat it. I agree that the time we do it more is when we are tired and stressed. It is so easy to compensate with food.
Do take care of yourself and try to reduce the stress. I know what the Ed Dept is like and it can create it by the bucket load. Especially when they are putting people off.
I have no quick fix solutions. Just take care, you are a sensible fella with his head screwed on the correct way. Hugs to you.

Den take care.  at least take small steps forward. 
everything takes time,     I eat chocolate when stressed. 

[astarra]

Den, congrats on being Man enough to admit your problem.  A lot wouldn't.
I am the opposite - I can't eat when stressed!
Take care and let us know of any way we can help.

Acknowledging a problem is the biggest step Den - good on you for sharing with so many people and at least you are doing something about it.  Good luck with conquering this problem, rooting for you big time 

[Kimmyh]
