Well I went on the 1 day workshop on Saturday as I had to do one before starting the Chocolate Fairy course next year. I knew it would be just what I needed as I have been struggling for the last few weeks and it certainly was. I came away knowing that I was in the right place and it is the right thing for me to do. It reminded me of things that I have been letting slip - ie tuning in and also showed me that there are some things that I have been doing well. I have set my phone for the last couple of days to remind me hourly to tune in - it is amazing how quickly an hour goes!!
Since coming back I have restocked my cupboards, not that they were particularly getting low but now I have options - I have a box of biscuits, a box of mini mixtures - ie revels, large choc buttons etc and a box of broken up bars of chocolate/green and blacks etc. and i feel quite calm. when I got back from the shop I did have some thorntons chewy choc caramels and probably had more than I needed, nor did I put them on a plate but it didn't turn into a binge even with all that other food so that is quite a step forward - for the last few weeks I have been doing a lot of binging.
I am trying hard not to focus on the weight and it was all going well until somebody asked a friend why it was that I had put on all this weight when I had always previously been slim - so I am not beating myself up and trying to not let it get me down. Luckily I have recently been reinfused at the workshop otherwise I would have felt v bad.
Had a great walk with Monty today - doing really well on the steps, I have been logging them on the website 10,000steps to keep a chart and the lowest number I have done in the last week or so is 11,000 with the highest 21,000 - which was with a game of squash - so am very pleased. Have done 16,000 today and am going round a secondary school with my son so will be about 17,000 by this evening.

I'm glad you enjoyed the workshop and no doubt found it beneficial. It must be lovely to be in the same room as other people doing IE. I often feel lonely doing this on my own, but at least there is the internet!!
Janey,
If you can ever do a workshop I can't recommend it enough. It is, as you say, so helpful to be in a room full of people all with similar issues. You see that people are there at all shapes and sizes and there are funny bits as well as sad bits. It is quite thought provoking when you realise just how many women are in the same position.
