I used to but that's a ridiculous mindset to have and actually quite childish so I decided to grow up and just put it behind me and start over straight again :)

I made lots of very good friends on here which helped me. After a while I stopped logging my food though as I was losing weight for the first time in years and wanted to stop obsessing over food (my adult life had been ruined and consumed by food issues)- interestingly now that I just eat what I want when I am hungry my…

I used to think that I had no spare time whatsoever but then I got a dog... and found at least 2 hours free every day in which to walk him..... bizarre!!!

I'm watching a strange Daisy Lowe film and wondering why the guys watching it get 3 pretty girls to gawp at whilst us girls get one ugly geezer- life is so unfair!

you shouldn't view them as shame clothes as that is so negative- if you really love them then maybe keep one hanging on your bedroom door as an incentive. otherwise get rid of them and treat yourself to new clothes as a reward :)

I agree with others- I don't think you need to lose weight. Maybe forget about trying to 'diet' altogether and just eat healthily when you are actually hungry

Mine is most definitely my soup/smoothie maker that I use every single day to make a healthy breakfast smoothie and also to make soup for lunch. If it broke I would replace it straight away!

I also have thyroid issues which have not been helpful in the old weight issue so I empathise. My exercise regime is much less challenging than yours and involves dog walking 3 times a day! I was sorry to read about your accident and sincerely hope that you make a full recovery which enables you to get back to good…

This is a VERY emotive topic for me as my youngest daughter who is 16 is a very picky eater- she only eats 'beige/white' foods which are all carbs and as a result is larger than she should be. I WISH that I had been firmer when she was younger- I just thought that she would grow out of it but she hasn't. Sadly she is often…

like your advice!

There are actually lots of articles associating Vit D deficiency with weight gain. After being put on thyroxine for an underactive thyroid I still didn't feel right and was still very slowly gaining weight and after my bloods were retested for auto-immune illnesses they came back with a massive Vit D deficiency. I now take…

stay and ask for advice on how she got a figure like that!

no because I am straight but I would like someone to date her as she looks really sad :(

Your thread title intrigued me and encouraged me to read on.....very clever! And I was very glad that I did- what a great story with fab pictures. My weight loss is also very slow- I would prefer homemade cake or cookie to a main meal some days so that's what I do. Your exercising has made a HUGE difference to your…

So what do you do to help your lipoedema and lymphoedema? I have to wear compression tights every day which means no cropped trousers even in the summer :( Have you been recommended to have manual drainage massage? x

Absolutely NO need to be ashamed!!!!! It's great that you're back; be positive- you know you have done it before so you can do it again! Well done for getting back on track and good luck with your weight loss journey x

LOL! I haven't got a clue what Oakland Raiders are but I LOVE the other foods so NOOOOOOOO, don't ban them mfp!

Today IS indeed a new day. Don't even think about yesterday. Start again and plan a better day today. Thinking of you x

Thank you so much for replying. I had accepted it 5 years ago.....but on my last visit my ankles had increased by a whopping 2cm- very disheartening when I have lost some weight and also walk for 2-3 hours a day with my dog which I didn't have when I was initially diagnosed. I guess that my recent visit has just made me…

I completely agree with rocbola. I have had eating disorders on and off since I was 18 and am a recovering bulimic. I truly believe that some foods are addictive- if I 'just have' one biscuit in the staff room in morning break then I want crap for the rest of the day, it could easily set off a binge. If I just avoid all…

You requested 2 things in your last sentence: why won't she spend time with me, why won't she eat a meal with me but put them in one sentence. Maybe the meal or rather the food is an issue for some reason.......maybe focus on the spending time together first and work on the meals later. Maybe a cuddle on the sofa after you…

Nutella is only bad because once you dip that spoon in you just can't stop!!!! A whole jar of anything is bad for you!

'Me' time is when I get to escape to the bathroom for a bubble bath each night!!! Peace at last!

I always drop at least 50% of the calories that they give on here as they are always double what the pedometer on my bike says!

You sound just how I feel!!!!! Feel free to add me if you want although I have been a big fat failure recently but, with the next stone up looming, I have GOT to get back on track!

Thanks for the advice x

Indeed. This is such an amazing site full of wonderful people. Look forward to getting your friend request and we can start all over again together! x

Bless you. Do keep in touch and let us know how things go x
