I believe I was born with this disease. As a child I ate more than what I was comfortable with on many occasions; eating the biggest apple in the fruit bowl, when I knew it wasn’t a good idea because I wouldn’t be hungry for dinner, but not being able to not do so, sneaking food, being overcome with the obsession to eat a can of cream corn in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, thinking I’m not sure that I want to do this but I can’t stop myself anyway.
During my adolescence I used laxatives because I was often constipated. I was only a little overweight once or twice in my life and there were times when I was “nice and thin”. One summer I thought I “had it made” because my stomach was flat enough to wear a bikini. I thought my eating was neurotic but I thought that other neurotic women like me ate like that and I would just grow out of it.

New Zealand has seen a surge of cases of Hepatitis A this year and 12 of those infected (including seven hospitalised) have been linked with the consumption of frozen berries.
The recall of Pams products is a precaution due to this possible link of Hepatitis A associated with berries sourced from Serbia.
Here's what you need to know:
- All batches and all dates of Pams Mixed Berries, Two Berry Mix, Smoothie Berry Mix, and Raspberries have been recalled and removed from supermarkets.
- The Pams products are sold at New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square stores nationwide.
- Hepatitis A is a contagious virus which spreads easily. Learn more here.
- Due to the possibility that other brands of berries may be infected, New Zealand Food Safety continues to advise those eating frozen berries to wash hands before and after preparing the berries, briefly boil them before eating and ensure cooking temperatures exceed 85 degree Celsius for 1 minute.
If you have consumed any of these products and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice.

Five Christchurch high school esports players will compete in front of a live crowd of hundreds this month when they represent the South Island at the New Zealand Esports Hyperfibre League tournament in Auckland.
It is the first time that high school gamers from around the country have the opportunity to compete in-person and on stage in an open-entry New Zealand-only esport tournament.
The Christchurch team competed in a remotely run national tournament last year – making it to the semi-finals – and this year, they’re out for a tilt at the schools’ title.
The South Island team comprises Burnside High School’s esports team combined with two Christchurch Boys' High School (CBHS) players, who took out the southern League of Legends competition undefeated.
Burnside High teacher Fin Cresswell said the team represented the “cream of the crop” of South Island gamers.
The team fly to Auckland to compete in both the high school and all ages open divisions, which take place at SkyCity Theatre October 7 to 9.
The venue has a 700-seat capacity that is expected to sell out, making for an atmosphere none of the players have experienced before, after last year’s nationals were held online because of Covid-19 restrictions.
Competing in front of a crowd of hundreds hasn’t dented the team’s confidence instead team member Tianze Wang, 18, said it might boost them.
“I don't get nervous that much, I feel like more excited,” he said. “So, I think I'll have a better performance playing on stage.”
Cresswell, who oversees the team with CBHS teacher Andy Thawley, expected everyone to be a little nervous playing in front of a live crowd, but said they were “strong, strong, strong contenders” to do well in both national finals.
The Burnside esports team members had been competing together in person at Christchurch libraries for their weekly esports matches, rather than competing remotely from home.
Allen Qin, 17, said being able to play next to teammates gave them “a better connection, for sure”.
The Christchurch City Council was the first council to back esports competitors by turning public libraries into gaming hubs each week, giving high school esports teams a physical ‘field’ to compete from equipped with high speed internet and high-spec gaming computers.
“The libraries have been amazing,” Cresswell said. “Their support has just been absolutely incredible.”
The Burnside team is looking for redemption against last year’s finalists Botany Downs Secondary College, to whom they lost in last year’s semi-final.
“This year is like revenge,” Wang said. “We can beat them and take back our glory.”
It was also an opportunity for the team to showcase their skills with the best of the best in New Zealand, Cresswell said.
“It's hard for people who have no conceptual understanding of esports to really get how insanely well our students are performing.
“We're about to prove that.”

I had been putting it off, mainly because of the worry about radical candidates and because last time it took ages because of the STV system. Rating candidates from best to worst was difficult and for me it was pretty random.
I shouldn’t have worried.
It was very easy this time to check out candidates and voting is First Past the Post. Just tick the candidate(s) you want to vote for. Easy as!
Then don’t forget to post it or drop it off at a library or service centre.
