Challenges:
Not feeling good again today, I am hoping it’s to do with the new pill I am on rather than another bout of depression kicking in just in time for Christmas.  Feeling lonely, taken for granted and generally unloved.  You know the usual.

I wanted to know what my triggers were for falling off the wagon and binge eating, and I have well and truly discovered them this week.  I am lonely.  I want to keep things as positive as I can and come up with a solution, rather than wallow in self pity.  I have come to a conclusion therefore. 
I think I may need to leave Colchester. 
I just do not have the support network here that I need.  Although I love my meeting, that is only once a week, I have a life for the other 6 days too.  Although I supposedly have friends here, it is very difficult to see from my current position, I have not seen any of my 'friends' from Colchester socially in months.  I did put it down to me withdrawing a little bit.  However the fact that no one actually noticed spoke volumes to me today when I was thinking about my current situation.  It would be good if I appeared on someones lists of priorities as opposed to being the person you can always blow off/rearrange/ask for a favour.  I think about my friends how I can help and support them, I inconvenience myself to help them, but quite frankly it appears to me that no one has thought about me in a very long time, and I very much doubt anyone has inconvenienced themselves to help me out.  I'm not going to make any hasty decisions, I can't really afford to move at the moment.  But for the sake of my mental health and weight loss journey, I think I might need to.

Its quite a big step really to come to such a big conclusion, and it is hardly something that is easy to fix.  I keep saying I will get there, with this though I am not so sure.  Its a horrible thing to realise you are not liked.  I thought I was coming to a point in my life where I was becoming happy with who I was, but obviously who I am is not good enough.

Sorry for the downer, needed to let it out.  I really hope its the new pill, it says mood swings, and I am like a freaking pendulum.

Achievements:
I didn’t order a takeaway!  I really have had the urge to stuff myself with Chinese food; however the practical side of me did kick in eventually.  Its just not cost effective to order Chinese takeaway for one, unless you order a mountain of food.


Tomorrow:
Weigh in tomorrow.  Even with my ‘not so good’ days this week I am actually within all of my points allowances.  I would love a loss of 1.5lbs but realistically 1lb is what I am hoping for.  The rest of the day is a bit of a blank.  I may involve a cake from Greggs though.

Verdict:  Food wise fine, life wise a bit shit
