Y'know, my local friends (as opposed to my Dwellar friends) regularly see me munching down sweets, crisps, heavily sugared and coloured and flavoured goodies...and almost as regularly some of them comment. They know, because I have told them, that such food makes controlling/dealing with eczema much harder. I am an extremely hedonistic person. I am not good at denying myself something once I have latched onto wanting it. I end up eating far too much junk and after a while my system says 'No!' and I face the consequences...and then I am good for a while, until the junk starts to creep back in.

They know this. They know what I am like. Sometimes they can be a pain, keep bringing a downer onto my smarties and dairy milk. But from time to time it's kind of nice to know they're watching out for me. They know who I am, they know my little areas of weakness and danger zones. As indeed, I know theirs. They don't make the same comments to other friends whne they are munching a bag of crisps in the pub. But they may well comment on other stuff with them. That's just a thing of mine. And my friends know me enough, and care enough, to be watching for those pitfalls with me.

Sometimes, good friends nag.

*smiles*

I'm glad you're back m'dear. We want you here as you are. However that is at any one time.
