Some of you might know that a while ago I started up a Compulsive Eating Workshop at Sussex Uni. Based in the Women’s Room, we all read Fat Is A Feminist Issue and worked through it, discussing body issues, our disordered eating histories, depression, and anything else we wanted to.
I’m leaving uni this August – I’m moving back to London as my MA has finished – so it won’t really be practical for me to carry on the group. Luckily, the women involved in the Sussex group are totally amazing and are carrying it on without me! But I want to start up a group, in London, along the same lines, to continue my recovery and facillitate other women’s.
But… London is a much bigger place than Sussex Uni… so I need help! I want to make the group completely free, and as such need a venue which is either low cost or no cost. I also need a venue with good transport links (central if possible…) and which is suitable for the group, i.e. has plenty of chairs and is pretty private.
Have any of you guys started groups in London before? Would any of you be interested in joining the group? Got any ideas about venues? Comment below!
I would definitely be interested. I’m London at the moment, based centrally until mid august when I’ll move within reach of the tubes.
Hey, not strictly relevent to this but I’m feeling a lil bit lost here in the South West… it’ll probably be a while before I can possibly move to London, anyone interested in setting something up further my way??
That said, I’d totally help out with this if I could, it sounds great.
Hi! Your group sounds fantastic. I’m in London and have eating problems of the compulsive type. I’d definitely be interested in attending it if you set it up.
Hi
I’m in London, pretty central and very interested. If I can help at all, get in touch. x
Hello, I live in London and have just read Fat is a Feminist Issue. I would be interested in joining a group. Please feel free to get in touch with me.
Hi,
a little late to the party but I was wondering if you had managed to set up a workshop? I would be really interested in attending. I am about a third of the way through Fat is a Feminist Issue and I think I might be a compulsive eater. I need to talk about this with someone and this workshop could help me a lot.
I’m based in north london but close enough to the tube. please let me know if you’ve set up a group.
thanks!
Hi- I’m also late but very interested. Reading Fat is a Feminist Issue too. Let me know if I can join!
Hi, currenly reading FIFI – and very interested to join a group in London, let’s get organized!
Hello, similar response to most of the others. I’m reading Fat is a Feminist Issue and am looking for a group to join. If one is already set up then great and if not then I’d be happy to help start one.
Hello, same response as those above. Read FiFI years ago, and have re-read several times, always thinking ‘If only there were a group I could join!’ Live in SE London but happy to travel to central or wherever. Please keep me posted… Best wishes to everyone x
Hi, I’ve been desperate to find such a group for over a year now. I went from anorexic to being a compulsive eater with some kind of depression almost. I would give everything to get out of this. Please contact me if your group exists. It’d be much appreciated. Best wishes to everyone esp. those who struggle with this problem. xx
Am really keen to start – live in south london but again willing to travel in London. Am currently reading Fifi
