Re: all bulimics and over eaters try this....

I have told my sister about Curezone - there are a lot of forums here she would be interested in. I know what you mean about diffusing the situation with my Mum, I need to not take it so personally (which is hard when she's hurling insults) and not let her get to me so. I get upset by her accusations, and feel the need to explain/defend myself, which always results in her getting abusive. Then the next time we speak it's as if nothings happened! I sometimes think I should just cut my losses with her and move on. If she was out of my life I'd cope a lot better. Once after a huge row, I didn't speak to her for ages and I felt wondeful, freer and my own person. My problems actually started up again after she phoned me, being all nice and friendly as if nothing had been said!

I often take my frustration out by digging over my garden, stripping wallpaper, or having a huge clear-out. Not very pampering I know, but very theaputic. I also dabble in watercolours, go to a class once a week, and really enjoy. I find myself humming as I paint - and have noticed others doing this too.

Thanks for your reply. Hope you have a good weekend. I'm going to try the sodium bicabonate tonight. Tweet
