Oh no that's horrible! It doesn't matter what size you are or how confident and happy with your weight you are, no-one should be made to weigh in front of others and then have the weight read out. Did they measure bra sizes as well and announce them on the school website??!! I would complain to your parents and to someone in charge at school. I thought my PE teacher was bad for continually slapping everyone's bum! |

Gina where do you find these men? Lawyer/writer guy sounds interesting! Sorry about Kieran, he could have been honest with you from the very beginning so you could decide whether to carry on or not. I love making huge pots of soup or chilli and then freezing them/eating them for the whole week! I've never seen black soy beans though. Or any type of soy beans! I use lentils, pearl barley, split peas and aduzki beans as well as any and all veg I have. Sometimes I do specific flavours like chicken and brocolli, mushroom, bacon and lentil (amazing with cheesey scones! Not v cal concious but a nice treat!) but I normally just throw everything in and hope for the best. I've got a chilli plant with little yellow chillis on it, must use them up soon. Soraya - How's your daughter feeling? YAY for workingout again, the first times the hardest, you'll just slip back into the habit now :) Post pics of your hair i wanna seeeeeeee!! Karey - Good plan getting your husband to hide treats! But can you be sure he is infallible to coercian/bribes/threats of actual physical violence? Also, what's candy corn and indian corn?! In my news, I'm second on the waiting list to change from Adult nursing to mental health nursing at uni and have made some friends so am feeling slightly less anxious though the workload seems to grow and grow and grow. Can't see how I am EVER going to be able to have a social life EVER AGAIN!!

Hmmm good point I haven't written much for a while. I need to start doing that just for myself I think. Reflective writing is also an important part of my course so I should get into the habit. You'll just have to start over with eating clean. You did what you had to when you were ill, you listened to your body telling you what it needed. Now you just need to get back into the swing of eating nice and clean. Make it so you say "tomorrow I am going to eat completely clean and then after that we'll see what happens" then it's not a huge commitment that you can't face.

Haha exactly. I dunno if the holy basil's working really, maybe my tummy does feel slightly less bloated but that might just be cuz I'm eating cleaner and drinking lots of water. Trying to anyway. I am struggling a bit tbh. How are you managing? |

OMG Soraya you're so beautiful!! I'd never even seen at your pictures before! Your hair was beautiful when it was long but I bet it looks just as lovely short, just different. It'll take some getting used to though! I'm growing my hair as well after a serious bleaching incident last year! If you want seasons how about you come to Sheffield and I go to LA? We've got plenty of seasons here. By which I mean that it's bloody freezing! I hate the cold soooo much. I have Reynaud's Disease (basically my hands and feet go numb for ages. V annoying and sore when they get the feeling back http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud%27s_phen omenon) as well and it didn't affect me all summer and now it's got cold again I get it all the time :( |

Thank you :) I've spoken to the uni about changing to mental health and they've put me on the waiting list. I'm #2 so if two mental health students drop out/change courses/whatever then I get an interview to explain why I want to change. So I'm hoping (though I feel slightly mean!) that two people decide it's not for them and drop out :D |

Thanks for everyone's replies. Just to reiterate, I do not have any kind of romantic ideas of how it would be. I did mention in my OP that mental health issues have been my interest and passion for many years. Fidget, Thanks that's pretty much what I was looking for. You've had the experience of seeing things from both sides, patient and professional. I would ideally like to work with younger people with issues such as depression, self harm, eating disorders etc, though obviously my time at university will be a time to explore lots of different settings. I know all about the bodily fluids part and bathing people, I'm not |

Tricia - I am a binge drinker! I've never been the "one glass of wine with dinner" type, I generally don't drink during the week but friday night I overindulge. I'm also an emotional eater. Both are things I'm trying to give up. As for excercise I'd recommend somthing that's a bit different to keep you interested and make it enjoyable. Kickboxing is a good suggestion. Thanks Gina and Soraya, for your kind words and also for the acne treatment suggestions! Just found this site: http://www.adiosbarbie.com/ x |

Hey Soraya, I'm glad you're feeling better but sorry your daughter's now sick :( Sounds like you're looking after her really well though so I'm sure she won't be poorly for long. How old is she? Don't worry too much about losing a week of workouts, we all need to take a week out every now and again to let ourselves rest and recuperate, esp if we're ill. The good: Had a good day at Uni on friday and have got my self organised so I feel less stressed. The bad: My bf and I broke up today. Next friday was going to be our official 1year anniversary. Not sure how I feel really but I think I'm gonna be ok. The ugly: ummmm my horribly awful skin that just seems to be getting worse and worse despite the fact that I'm TWENTY ONE and should not be suffering from "teenage skin" anymore. Gah so sick of it! Going to try and get a doc appointment and ask for the most ridiculously hardcore antibiotics they've got. Hope everyone's had a good weekend and are looking forward to the week to come xx |

Thank for the replies. I'm not looking for a glamourous job, if I was nursing would be the last thing I picked!! I've never read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, it's on my list though :) Anyone from England with experiance? |

Original Post by gi-jane: LOL! Or use all 5 at the same time. Antibiotics are always a good excuse. I've just started uni but I've had this problem for aaaages! Pretty much none of my friends or my bf are students they just like to get hammered of a weekend! It is hard to say no, whether it's for weight or financial reasons. I totally lack self control! Also, it's a lot more fun being around drunk people if you are also drunk :-/ Also can relate to the food thing. I generally just say "I just ate" "I feel ill" "I'm allergic" etc to get round it. Doesn't matter who you are it is NOT socially acceptable to mention diet or watching your weight. Even if you say you just like eating healthily you'll get "But you can afford to eat this" "You don't need to lose weight" etc etc. It's as though people think you're looking down on them because YOU like to eat healthily. Gah, sorry, ranted a bit there! |
