My tailbone hurts. Why are all the seats so hard?!

Cappuccino and a big mincemeat tart. I'm gonna be having a small lunch to make up for that, but I looove Christmas flavours!

Baked apples. A nice big cooking apple stuffed with oats, cinnamon, and a little mixed fruit and sugar, and then baked in the oven for an hour. Nom! ...and NO, cat, you are not having any...

Pears. Because I like pears A LOT. Also, they go really well with savoury things like blue cheese as well as with sweets. And you can have them raw, or stewed, or in crumble, or as chutney, or… …’scuse me, I’m just going to nip out and do some harvesting…

Where did you get that idea from? I do more than 2 hours of exercise almost every day. I regularly log six-hour hikes. I've occasionally logged longer. Pre-Covid I would occasionally do back-to-back high-energy gym classes. I got the full calorie 'credit' for all of them. In fact it would be highly unethical of MFP to lie…

You do know that scanning the barcode just searches the MFP database, right? The barcode doesn't contain any nutritional information.

Staying busy and engaged. I start to feel 'hungry', even 'starving', when I'm understimulated. ...do not ask how the Covid lockdowns and restrictions have gone for me...

How angry I would become about large portions of my past life. I grew up and lived most of my adult life in a world where everything was an immense effort; people were basically unfriendly and unhelpful, and getting decent healthcare required me to do a lot of research and advocacy. Now things just fall into my lap. People…

Thankyou! It's taken a lot of hard work and I'm still struggling with some eating disorder issues, but it's worth it. The first pic is of me on holiday in Iceland; that was the glacial outflow lake Jokulsarlon. I'd always wanted to swim in icy water. (Wouldn't do it now, mind; I miss that insulation!)

I'm currently working from home due to Covid. I wake up early and go for a long walk before I start work, and then I take a long walk after lunch as well (and work later in the evening to make up my hours). I'm basically prioritising exercise because it's not like there's anything else to do!

I've posted before, but I've recently taken some new 'after' photos after maintaining for two years and doing an awful lot of working out :) Height: 5'7 Starting weight: 27 stone (ish) Current weight: 11 stone 5 (which is higher than my ideal, but eh, lockdown)

I currently walk about 22,000-29,000 steps a day in my local woods. I love finding new vantage points or little items to photograph - we don't talk about my eleventy billion mobile phone photos of fungi :) I also go hiking most weekends, for about 15 miles or so (35,000+ steps). I don't take anything with me unless I'm…

I have enough trouble with my hips, I think my physio would actually cry if I inflicted this abomination on them.

If I didn’t eat back my exercise calories I would die. I walk for 3-4 hours a day, do a home workout on top of that on at least three days per week, and hike 15 miles or so at weekends. Heck yeah am I adjusting my eating to compensate for that level of expenditure.

(Though on the bright side, unless they obsessively weigh and measure everything they will be eating much more than 800 calories in reality)

If you don’t want to lose your parents, you really don’t want them to be following such an unhealthy diet.

Why don't y'all just give up and link to this thread? :)

Wikipedia tells me that it is cheese AND dessert. Now I really want some.

I have no idea what this is but now I really want to find out.

If I were you I'd update that goal to 'skinny and alive'. Don't do what you are doing. You will a) cause yourself serious damage and b) fail and feel even worse :(
