as well as a debt management plan with step change I’ve got a billy basic bank account called Monzo and what’s great about it is you can split your money into pots and then never look at the bills pot or rent pot again so all I know about is the little bit of ‘joy’ money I can fritter and I still get that silly hit of wasting a few pounds a month on shite

No shit, I know nothing of fashion I use a bumbag as my day to day receptacle for carrying things in. Although, Jack would call it a ‘fanny bag’ these days.
I believe it is called a 'fanny pack' in Yankee, which is even fannier.

I'm the third generation of disordered eating that we know of. It's not helped by stomach problems that the local health board dismiss and severely limits what I eat to mainly carbs.

I'm fat now and was a chubby child, but the only way I could keep weight off was massive amounts of exercise and I always had a chunky tattie-howking build. In the dim and distant past when I was a reservist, I was fit but still weighed over the 'correct' BMI weight for my height; it took turning up at a medical straight from the gym in cycling shorts and a tshirt so they could see that I was muscled rather than fat before they stopped nagging.

Thank you @Icing _on_ the_cake and @chocolate choux for these helpful suggestions. I think I might take a look and might try a book first, but I might do some serious indepth research and find a counselling service that might suit me better.

Do you hate fat people? I am sick of reading skewed & triggered opinions which are outright offensive.

Vendetta against slim women lol. Ffs.
It’s amazing that you’re accusing me of being triggered, when you’re offended by me simply standing up for someone being attacked for their appearance.

There is so much hatred against slim women that people feel justified in their self-righteous attacks and don’t even see it as wrong.

Monzo is amazing, your statement is in real time so you always 100% know where you stand, it doesn’t get to Monday and the weekend hits, or a few online orders process, and you’re like wtf happened. Also groups your expenditure into categories so u can better understand where it all goes, also you can do roundups etc etc just a fab bank!!

also recommend my frugal year on insta and the first two (chunky!) chapters of her book really speak to a lot of things mentioned on the thread, it’s hard as women you’re targeted like mad by brands and no one wants to talk about money for the shame and guilt they’re made to feel, it’s inevitable it leads one way really ?!

Who hates slim women? You have repeatedly got stuck on this issue. It is clearly a sore point for you and thats fine.

Jack was never attacked for her weight. She has been playing up to the ED stuff and someone was concerned for her (concern, not mockery like fat people face ). I dont know what planet your live on that slim women face (any) hatred about their weight

That’s one of my funniest moments on these threads - I was HOOTING at the confusion! I still can’t see either Jimmy Djokovic or Novak Nail without laughing
I have chuckled all day whilst working, with Jimmy Nail just popping in my head saying ‘she’s lying’’
