That sounds good to me to start with. I liked the looks of some of the exercises at the back of the book, e.g. the fat-thin exercise. So, shall we start with your suggestion first? We can write a little about our eating habits and history and keep the diary for a week? You can email me rubycaspertuesday@gmail.com and we can come up with a plan. Looking forward to getting this started with you.

I think email is the best way to keep in touch. Maybe we should start with a bit of a history of our eating habits and keep a food diary for a week and then share those and talk about our current eating habits. There’s some guidelines for the food diary in Fat is A Feminist Issue, I’m pretty sure it’s just what you eat, where and when you eat and whether or not your hungry when you eat. Is there anything specific you want to do?

That sounds great to me! I think that is a really good idea. Do you have a specific exercise in mind that you would like to start with? What is the best way to contact you? I can post my email address here. I think towards the back of the book there are quite a few exercises. How shall we start?

Hello, I’m so sorry for how long it’s taken me to reply. I have been out of the country for a while. I think considering my super changable schedule I might not be able to meet in person. If you’re intrested in working through some of the book via email I’d be really up for that. Let me know what you think.

Hi there, I am so sorry for my late reply. I was away with work and have had v limited internet access. It would be really great to meet up. For me,at the moment, Weds, Thurs evenings work well as do Sundays and I can travel too, we could meet in central London or London Bridge, which may be half way between our homes if you like. And as your hours are changeable we could always explore alternating between meeting and posting online. What do you reckon?

Thanks a lot. your story helped me writing an article about perfectionism. As one of the people who are suffering from perfectionism, or OCD, I recommened you to be “immersed”. Also, I want to recommened you a book “Hamlet’s Blackberry”. Uhhh,, If you are “Still” suffering from perfectionism, I mean… Anyway thank you for your writing.

I’m based in Peckham and I cycle so I don’t have a problem travelling. The only thing that might be difficult is that I work in a theatre so my hours are very changeable. Is there a particular day or time that would suit you?

Thank you for your message! Its great to hear that you want to set up a group too! I am totally up for doing that and indeed if travel is tricky, let’s do some exercises here. Where are you based?

Hello, I posted a couple of years ago but as far I know a group never got started. I’d still like to join a group and I’d be happy to travel. Maybe if it’s not possible to meet in person we could do some of the exercises together online via this thread so that people can join in when they have the time?

I am very excited to have come across your post. I am really keen to set up and take part in a group. I am mid-way through reading FIFI and would love to join a group. I am based in East London happy to travel and happy to get a group going if your group has closed and anyone interested in joining and running a group would like to do so….I realise this is 4 years on from your initial post! But here’s hoping! Or would be really happy to hear about other groups I can join.
