Hey, I am OK!!!!
Thanks all for worrying about me... I am FINE, truly. But we made fatal mistake of moving the broadband connection when moving furniture around & result - no internet since Sunday morning! Arghhh! Finally fixed, but I am away now on my travels again, in NE Scotland this time, and may not be online much this week unless I get net at b&bs later in week. this one has free wifi which is fab.
So yes, it WAS the sofas indirectly!

Bess, blimey, I didn't even realize I was doing that! You are so good at spotting the stuff I can't seem to see even though it's right in front of my nose! Thank you hun. I love the idea of bubbles & thistledown... wow.
Greeneyes, you are so right about seeing that posting good food choices was about approval, and right in saying that being 'perfect' doesn't get you approval necessarily! Good point. But it was more that my constant falls were upsetting me & making me hate myself and I was scared they would annoy others too, or upset them, or just make people sick of me moaning. Because I was sick of me!!!!
Chels, Wales, Lizz, AlexM, Lelly, Sunshine & Curly... and sorry if I missed someone... BIG HUGS. Thanks all of you. I didn't mean to worry you! On Sat when I was posting last, I read thru my early diary entries and also took on board some things KD & you guys had been saying. It felt like something shifted, I don't know how. And I stepped away from the binge punishment cycle I have been trapped in for so long. I feel fine - I don't know how it is possible for it to be that easy, but it just feels like that is over (for now anyway). Over in a way it hasn't been before... I really think this isn't a 'good' week as such, it's more than that, like the terrible see-sawing is over. I know it could come back, but this feels DIFFERENT and I feel, for want of a better word, SAFE again.
So... from Sat onwards, food. I went back to the sorts of meals i was eating in May/June. Quorn, salad, pitta; boiled egg; and oatcakes with almond butter for a snack if I was hungry. And Have stopped at ONE or TWO oatcakes, which is an improvement on the early diary!
Sunday, friends were over for most of day. They bought us a cake. (Gave it to builders next day & kids). House was upside-down, so we went for lunch in village - egg salad, then skinny latte & lemon cake. YUM. Quorn for tea.
Monday, VERY stressy day, all kinds of irritating stuff, hassles, etc; But food was good. porridge; feta with sprouts & broad beans & quorn sausage; quorn & pitta.
Today, 5 o clock start (EEEEEEK) porridge & skinny latte in Starbucks; M&S egg sandwich on granary; CD bar & 2 shortbread biscuits for tea.
Food may be erratic this week but I am OK, am in a good place and so, so glad I found my way back.

Wow glad you are back Katy and that the reason you disappeared wasn't what we had all thought.... dont you just hate it when your broadband stops working, mine went off for about 5 hours a couple of weeks ago as we changed provider and I didn't know how to set up the new router as all the ip addresses needed changing... missed it terribly, how sad was that.
Your menus are definately sounding more like your old ones, where you didn't restrict yourself too much and so didn't feel the need to binge. Have a good week, hope work isn't too bad... take care

Work is good... and have wifi at b&b tonite, but signal very bad & keeps cutting out, still, better than nothing!
Food today:
lo-fat plain yog, fresh fruit, spoon of granola; scrambled eggs, 1 slice granary toast
1 small fairy cake
egg & cress sandwich on wholemeal
skinny latte, cheese scone, CD bar
Still feeling fine, happy & relaxed with food, SO weird... like whatever it was that was haunting me/messing with my head has just gone away. Phew!

NE Scotland-So you're up in my neck of the woods?! Been cold but a lovely day here all day, rains just started now though. probably my last WI with my CDC (as shes moving) tomorrow, not too worried, TBH think Id be happy to maintian for a while using the occasional pack to keep me on track.
