The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi everyone...

The anxiety is through the roof for me right now...

I love pasta too, but my partner doesn't want to eat it at the moment - he thinks it is fattening - I don't think it is, as we don't cook with oil. I'm trying to skip a meal a day to lose weight, because the eating disorder demons are haunting me.... My psychologist has told me to take it one day at a time, but I keep feeling bombarded with worries about the future... I guess that is why I'm trying to control something. I've really had a horrible week.. Even though I got to yoga twice & saw my psychologist (don't know if she is helping)... Had a massive fight with my partner Tuesday after yoga 😞 Still using my phone, but have chosen a small laptop/tablet to buy on Monday. Nice to have a few nice things....

Namaste,

A

Hi @Former-Member sorry to hear that the anxiety is so bad. Sounds like a really long week you've had!

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Wow that is so tough @Former-Member, hugs to you, i am having the same problems, but the other way, i comfort eat. I am so sorry things are so worrying, i am sort of having the same thing. i really feel for you.

I am glad you are here though, i have been thinking of you often, i am so happy you are getting a laptop, a little tip, if you have a dicksmiths near by they are having a clearance sale, you might pick up a bargain.

Hi everyone. Sorry about the down times many of us are having. Glad to hear about some of the good news too. And to see and hear about the yummy food. I love Italian food. We are having home made pizza for dinner, partner cooking as usual. Ours will be with a quinoa flatbread base. This is what mine would look like if I was the virtual chef I can be at Friday Feast, hehe:

This one is vegan cauliflower pizza, especially to share with @Former-Member. There's plenty to go around for everyone!

Hi @Mazarita

pizza yum!

How was your day?

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I love the Italian vibe we got going tonight. How wonderfully thoughtful of @Mazarita to bring in a vegan and gluten free pizza for @Former-Member. Sorry @Former-Member for my creamy pasta.

I'm sorry to hear about the low times a few of you are having. I've heard that food intake can be an attempt to control things when things feel uncontrolable. Can anyone relate to this?

Hello everyone, plenty of action in here tonight.

Just in from bowling & wasn't sure what I was going to bring. But got a call from mum on the way home & she won a seafood platter at the club raffle tonight so it's balmain bugs & prawns all round.

Hi @Former-Member

One virtual pizza coming your way and an extra for the children. How are you today? Glad school is over for a couple of days for you.

Today I still have a bad headache and sore back after my fall on Wednesday but a bit better than yesterday and the day before. Spent the day in an out of bed sleeping. Mood is basically okay, just physically troubled. Should have gone to the doctors really but wasn't well enough to get there. Pretty sure I've just strained muscles in my neck and back. Will be seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow and will ask what he thinks about it. It seemed like a very innocuous fall at the time. I went over backwards mid strum of the ukelele, lol!!

Hey @Drac0, good to see you. I like your avatar image every time I see it.

Might have to grab some after work tomorrow.
