Saturday

I woke early this morning
The dogs wanted to go out at 5 30am
I made a cup of tea
And promptly fell back to sleep on the couch
I woke for the second time at about 8am
Usually I bring my Mum breakfast in bed 
But she beat me to it this morning
And made her own
I then heard my sister up
So asked her if she wanted to go for a walk
Quick cuppas
We piled the dogs in to my car 
And set for the nearest beach
We decided to do the cliff walk this morning
For a change 
We had a lovely walk
Then headed to the beach at the other end of town 
Where there is a little stall selling teas and coffees and toasties
The girl there has such a cool little set up
She is from Wales 
And drove over here for the summer season
She has a little trailer
With blackboard menus
Wooden frontage
She even put cushions on the little pillars to sit on 
My sister had a coffee
I had a tea 
And then we took some photos
Here they are....

(I almost didn't post these photos
As I think I look really chubby
I am just hoping that I really do have body dysphoria 
And I don't actually look this way)












With love from at

    My lovely Ruby (as I've come to think of you!)

    You are absolutely spot on, 100% correct in identifying BDD as the reason you see yourself as chubby! You are nothing even remotely NEAR 'chubby'! I'm really glad you posted the photos because they really are lovely!

    I think you are an amazing inspiration and the fact you have such an acute awareness of how the illness f#@ks with your mind and distorts things (see my last post!) is and will continue to be, your strongest weapon against it.

    Thinking of you

      Thank you Firefly so much for your kind words
      You are sweet to say this

      I'm kind of hoping that I do have BDD
      I must ask my Mum 100 times a day if I am fat
      As I'm convinced that I am
      It was hard to post these photos
      But I won't give in to my ED and not share them with you

      Take care and Thank you x

    Gorgeous photos Rubs, and really, you are like the least chubbiest person! I love your outfit, your jeans are ace! You're so lucky to live so near the sea :) Take care xoxo

      Aw thanks Annie
      I'm always trying to position objects in front of my legs in photos
      But my huge thighs are so visible in this photo
      But hey
      I have to accept myself the way I am
      I'm healthy
      And that's the main thing

      Do you live near the coast? X

      Your thighs are definitely not huge! It's just you ED telling you that they are when they clearly are not. I wish you could see how beautiful and wonderful you really are.

      I live about an hour away from the coast, but I don't drive, so I can never get there which is a shame because I always feel a sense of peace by the sea for some reason! I wish I could drive but my confidence is just shot. What do you think about living near the coast? X

      I can't imagine not living near the sea
      It reminds me that there is a whole world out there
      And they are other lands and people far away
      You're in Wales aren't you?
      Is that the Irish Sea near you? X

      Yes, lovely wet Wales! I'm actually not too far from the main port for the ferry crossings over to Ireland, yes across the Irish Sea. Wouldn't it be great to do a blogger meet-up!? X

    I hope this means your weather has improved; my relatives said it's been absolutely awful the last few weeks. Jealous of your beach.

    You most definitely do not look chubby, but I know the feeling. I feel like I look like an obese Quasimodo is every photo ever taken of me, so I definitely understand!

    Glad to see you enjoying your weekend. xo

      The weather has improved marginally Mich
      We manage to get in walks in between the showers

      I know
      I'm the same
      I always seem to turn in to a ogre when the camera is on me
      Most of the time I barely look at the shots before I post them
      As I know I would be scrutinising them

      Good to hear from you
      Hope you're doing ok? X

      Meh, functioning I guess. :/

      I try to make funny faces if the camera ever reaches me, at least then I can laugh at the photo rather than stress over it!
