Couldn't agree more. Maybe as I train more, my willpower will become insoluble. Thats what other forumites have said about combining their smoking and running.

Works Christmas do on Saturday, huge buffet, managed to be good (loads of Pasta salad) until dessert appeared, then ate about twenty seven profiteroles.
Oh dear.
I WILL run tonight. Would have this morning, but two pile ups on the M6 meant I got to work at 8:30 instead of about 7:00. Does the fact that I was unavoidably delayed absolve me of non-running guilt??
Please stop saying the word m*rzip*n!!! I feel ill!!!
I've got a works Christmas do on Friday. Chinese buffet - the menu looks fantastic and it will be difficult not to have a bellyful of everything. But I shall go to the gym beforehand, wear trousers which are just slightly on the cosy side around the waist, and try to hypnotise myself into realising that if I eat anything other than soup and noodles at THAT time of night I will have bad dreams, possibly involving being bombed by exploding tubs of lard. And after a couple of glasses of wine, I shall eat everything and more, undo the trouser waistband, dance on the table, scrounge a lift home, and work it all off walking to the restaurant to collect the car on Saturday afternoon.
Make sure you wear your best underwear just incase.
Confessions - me and the Mr opened up a selection box of chocs last night that had been bought for my friend's little girl - and we ate everything in there.. oh dear.. another trip to Tesco's to replace it.. But I've just been for a 7 mile run so hopefully some of the chocolate has been evaporated now..!! Susie Redhead - a big WELL DONE to you for that long, long, long run!! Amazing...!! Most I've ever done is an hour and a half. I got my 'we don't want you' magazine from FLM on Saturday too.. sob! I'm gonna do the Halstead Marathon in May instead though.. Well I'm off to visit my friend this afternoon for a coffee and a gossip (I've told her not to do me any lunch!!!). Have a good day all.
But I shall heed your kind words, Gordon, and not wear the greying Sloggis whose elastic has expired prematurely due to repeated exposure to sweat. Problem is, all I've got is about 15 identical pairs of these. Wonder if Kevin would lend me some knickers.
EP haven't you heard from your slimming club yet?
Michelle, where's Halstead (guessing it's over your way in Essex)?
V-rap, you hussy! ;-) You'll have to buy a sexy thong and wear trendy hipster jeans if you're going to dance on the table. If I did that people would think it was a Sumo wrestler!!!!!
Maybe we could start a charity for those of us that did not get in and then get our own gold bond places?
EP - hope you hear from SW soon.
The thought of me in a thong is just too awful, especially just before lunch!
I can't stop myself looking at the Gold Bond places. Maybe I'll contact the NAS and ask if I can negotiate them down below the £1,400 minimum, since I've raised lots of money for them this year and I know that at least some of their Gold Bond holders last year failed to show whereas my bad hip and I have a track record of turning up and doing the biz on the day. It might even be worth taking the risk of losing my deposit.
Don't know if I really want to attempt another marathon yet, though. That's twice I've become overtrained and injured at way under realistic marathon training distances.
V V sorry to hear this.
Don't do anything daft.

Get yourself to the docs, and don't take any crap off them (apologies VRap and any other medicos, but I had some real problems with my GP) - I ended up demanding a referral to a specialist nurse (think the term was PCN - Psychiatric Community Nurse) who was an angel, and probably the main reason I'm still here to post.
Good luck, and feel free to post/EMail/Rant as and when you need to.
I've seen the devastation when someone feels alone and unable to ask for help, it is awful for the person and for those around who wished they had known what was happening. Please don't suffer alone, go and see your GP and also find someone to talk to.
Very best wishes to you.
I found one of the hardest things was facing the fact that I had to ask for support from others - I had a real 'I must be self sufficient and have no weaknesses' attitude that did me a lot more harm than good.
Don't pigeonhole yourself into one image. Life isn't like that. Your GP won't be the slightest bit disturbed if he or she has to pass the tissue box to a big muscular man who normally has control of his own life and a bit to spare. It happens. A lot!
Which I reckon is what you need right now.
Believe me, people would rather be burdened by you than lose you.
"tuff theres nothing till Thursday"
please talk to your gp - and consider the Samaritans if you feel like life is not worth continuing - i have been there and between talking the support of good friends and my Gp have climbed out of the bottomless pit you are currently drowning in - Will you are strong swimmer - you can swim back to the top - you are a runner - you can go forwards from this in time
you are respected and valued and admired here - hang on to that thru these dark days
love and hugs
