The best advice

What’s the best advice you have ever received?
A few years ago a nutritionist said to me “do yourself a favor, if you’re craving something, don’t deprive yourself. If you want pizza, have pizza, but find a healthier option. Grab a lean cuisine pizza. Instead of suppressing it until you end up binging and eating a whole Pizza Hut pizza by yourself”
Now, actually trying to lose weight, these words stick in my head.

Not sure if this was actually advice or a way of shutting me up as a child.

*kitten* or get off the pot.
Don't *kitten* where you eat.
*kitten* happens.
If it smells like *kitten*, and it looks like *kitten*, it is *kitten*.
Come to think of it, all the best advice I've been given involves the word *kitten*.5 -

They use a tabo, a communal bucket of water with a little hand bucket. You pour some water on your backside then use your hand to clean yourself. Oh did I mention most cr's don't have hot water or soap at the sink? It's no wonder theres so many billboards advertising immodium.0 -
