(no subject)
I came back from the doctors' a while ago.
I feel pretty crap. It'll take me a while to absorb it, but I want to set down my immediate impression.
Small lecture about what food is for. I held my tongue and didn't say 'you think I'm stupid, don't you.'
Reasonable advice: Medium breakfast, large carb-rich lunch, small low-fat protein-rich dinner with lots of veg/salad (no potatoes!). I can eat as much protein as I want for dinner, plenty of veg but NO starch. Yikes. Nothing between meals, particularly nothing after dinner. Regular mealtimes: 9 a.m., 1-2 p.m., 6-7 p.m.
No help on how I actually stop killing emotional pain with food and/or alcohol. Just 'how can we help you.'
Ideas for how to stop myself from overeating/drinking to excess in the evening:
Probably going to start some courses again, but they really do bore me. I just don't see the point.
Had quite a lot of escape fantasizing, but that's not going to happen. Probably be alive for at least another 20 years *sigh*.

Ideas for how to stop myself from overeating/drinking to excess in the evening:
- try and be more active in the evening...
- meet up with friends
- go for walks
- do things outside of the house
- call the Samaritans
- play-piercing
