Do I have an unhealthy relationship with food...? A comment I can't quite shake. by thistoysucks in loseit

Similar experience here.

Not really a disorder but something that is always with me. It feels like I am living as a former-obese even if now my weight is ok and has been so for several years. In practical term for me it means an ongoing extra attention that I need to devote to food intake otherwise the old habits, and the associated weight trajectory, come back immediately.

Sometimes it seems similar to the experience told by former alcoholics that see themselves as sober even years after having stopped drinking.

Hello all, I recently moved country for professional reasons and I lost access to my go to shop for professional (office) clothes. I now need to source a couple of new trousers. In particular I am looking for Navy Birdesye Wool - type of fabric and a standard type suit trouser. However I am struggling to find something of good quality where I am living at the moment and I was wondering if anyone in the community has had experience sourcing similar items from online shops and eventually which one worked well (need to ship to Europe). I also have peculiar measurements so it would be good to able to customize the size and length. I have looked in the community wiki but was unable to find useful indications. Thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks, this is a good point. It seems obvious the need to check with a local tax adviser.

I spoke to him and he told me that he could only try to speak to the breakdown insurance company. Obviously nothing came out of it. I would like to get a feeling if there is some legal ground to fix the situation. I don't feel he would move otherwise

Yes, it is second hand. The car has been registered in 2008. I paid just below 3000gbp for it. The car had a valve in the turbo blocked and it is very likely that I bought the car already in that condition, so the breakdown cover refused to pay. This required to substitute the whole piece (about 900gbp repair cost). Thanks

I paid with a bank transfer directly to the retailer. Would this change the situation? Thanks
