Embracing pink in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

Living life in colour: A new way of living in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

At the height of my addictive eating, at my grossest weight, I could not stand the colour pink. I felt repulsed wearing pink because it highlighted and illuminated my heavy set body.

Today I woke early in the morning, dressed in the dark and came downstairs to call my sponsor. After receiving an engaged signal, I went to the bathroom and saw that my slippers and bed socks were pink. My dressing gown is one hairy, fluffy, pink hooded coat. My glove body scrubs are pink and my bath towel is pink.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
