I'm still having an up and down time with IE. Which means that some days I seem to be able to keep to most of the principles, but on other days my inner rebel is out there. Also I have been pretty unkind to myself a lot of the time.

Of course I have a lot more time on my hands 'cos it is the school holidays, You'd think I would be really happy which I am some of the time, but at others i feel out of my routine, and I miss my school friends. i do get a bit down sometimes in the holidays which seems so strange as I really look forward to them! Teaching is a funny job. It is exhausting and so high pressured for most of the time, and then when the holidays come its a bit like someone who has had a limb amputated.

I think I have got into a better routine with eating today, and I'm going to try to stick with it. I'm going out to meet some friends from work for a collegue's birthday which I am now looking forward to, as I'm feeling a bit more up, and have stopped attacking myself. I managed to do this by making a mental list of all the good things about myself, and it really helped.
