I'm here too! I log on everyday and read what people post but I post very little. It's very inspirational to read about everyone! Keep up the good work!2

Here again
I didn't get the job. I'm pretty devastated. It was for a role in the same team as I work now, and I absolutely love my job and where I work, but I knew the interview wasn't going well when one of the interviewers looked incredibly bored, rested his elbows on the desk and leaned his head on his hand.
I couldn't get back into it after that, I was second guessing myself, and my confidence dropped through the floor.
I could do the job with my eyes closed too, and the feedback I got was that they also knew I could, but that some of my answers were 'disappointing'. I mentioned the fact that I assumed they were bored because of their body language, and the one interviewer said they'd feed that back to the other.
It means I only have a couple of months left where I am now.
The urge to comfort eat is overwhelming. It doesn't help that I'm not very well right now.
Today is not a good day. I know I need to try and get over it, but I just want to curl up and have a bit of a cry (although I'm not sure my colleagues would be impressed with that).

I'm so sorry that your interview went badly.
I know that the urge to use food for comfort is powerful but you & I (& most folks in this group) know that the feelings of guilt/anger/shame/disappointment, etc. that come AFTER numbing with food usually just compounds the original pain.
Perhaps you could try to do something kind & nurturing for yourself--take a warm bath, get a massage from your partner or just curl up & read something that will allow you to escape for a few hours.
Regardless of how the evening/week unfolds--whether you eat "off-plan" or not, you'll pull yourself up & be ok again.
...& you are absolutely entitled to curl up & cry a bit when you get home...

I am here. Been increasingly tired and fed up last two weeks. Cried loads over weekend and then this morning my mood skyrocketed. I am high as a kite. I have not taken anything other than my prescribed meds which are epically failing to stabilizing my mood. If I could sell my own brain's chemical high though I would be rich beyond my wildest dreams. It beats the crying thats for sure

Checking in. Did the final exam for my course yesterday, so I'm now free from studying until September. This means I can finally start dedicating some time to exercise!2
