And still makes everyone using it look like pale people covered in fake tan. You might think it doesn't look fake, but it is obvious to the rest of the population when it's used. Mind you, I can also spot false nails, breasts and rhinoplasties easily. The nearest thing I get to a tan is when the millions of freckles on my…

They also do unsafe amounts and levels of physical activity - hence the game 'spot the latest injury' that can be played every week. Seriously, watch - you'll see a whole bunch of them being beasted about, then they'll go to another 'journey' segment and then later in the week, only five will be in camera shot for the…

Tell them very loudly that you're a lesbian and, on graduation, you'll be entering into a polyamorous wedding with nine other lesbians from across the world and living in a commune with your donor inseminated children as one big, happy, female only commune, as you'll all abort any male children. That should shut them up…

....so, it couldn't possibly be the meds, such as mtx, lefluonamide, or anti-TNF therapy that you'd been on causing you to go into remission, it simply had to be changing your shampoo that did it?

No. Fake tan looks ridiculous. If you can't tan, then don't. You won't fit in with everybody else by painting your body a daft colour, you'll just look like a person covered in fake tan.

I have no complaints about the osteopath who treated my migraines by adjusting my neck in two sessions. Didn't get another one, despite having had them regularly from the age of 9. And I never had the feeling of pinching a nerve in my neck (and sending what felt like fire along my tongue) again. Since then, I've broken my…

Ask her for details of her professional indemnity insurance, as 'there's a good chance I have sustained injury as a result of inappropriate coaching'. Then fire her.

When I remember to step on the scales instead of just shuffling into the bathroom after a long gig, doing the necessary and shuffling out again and going back to bed for the next five hours.

Great! Glad to help!

To be fair, It's not the qualified doc that's giving out this stuff. It's the woman he sleeps with.

Yes. And yes. Personally, I'd be icing it regularly and going back to the doctor next week, as there are any number of things the pain could be due to, whether it's tendonitis, a ganglion (cyst) forming inside, or simply insufficient stretching. Don't try and skimp on the recovery time, as it's all to easy to cause long…

Too busy puking to think about eating.

Since when were humans not designed to eat meat as well as anything else they could find? Does the potato thing mean red spuds like Desiree are ok? Not eating carbs after lunch means I'll be at about 300 kcals a day. Because he says I can't eat after that, does that mean its a healthy intake? If I can't eat carbs, how am I…

They don't go off that quickly. If it concerns you, then stick a lid on the pan or chuck it in the refrigerator. I'm pretty careful with food hygiene though, and soaking oats for a few hours doesn't worry me. I would say that, to get the best texture, give it a quick stir with a wooden spoon as it heats up, though. I don't…

There are worse things. Like my waking up after Friday night and finding the bed looked like I'd murdered a unicorn, due to a combination of newly dyed hair getting damp and copious quantities of silver glitter everywhere, including welded to my skin and hair. I'm not the only one like it though - saw one of my friends…

Does anybody on mfp just bung the oats in water in a pan, leave them soaking overnight and then just heat it up in about 30 seconds in the morning? Not having a go at you, it just seems that everybody has to add extra sugars, flavours, chewy bits and anything possible to make it not taste like porridge/oatmeal. When it's…

You already use a metric system. Money. It's not hard to convert, most people from the UK aged around their 40s have managed perfectly well to use both metric and imperial measures. I don't think we have a particularly low incidence of stupid over here, but we cope with both. And imperial measures are more complicated when…

Three vodka diet cokes, chicken breast fillet in a bun with salad, and then, because I was only up to about 1000 kcals for the day, I had some spicy chicken peanut soup with a huge handful of frozen veg and some coriander leaves/cilantro. It's the rock n roll lifestyle I lead.

Don't forget a large number of people swimming won't have their glasses on (and contacts come out in the pool, as I found to my cost once). So the people you think are staring could be trying to work out where the water stops before they swim headfirst into the wall, whether the showers are behind you, or if that's going…

Is she having treatment? It would be wrong to know all this about her without saying something.

Actually, your friend sent forth a whole bunch of screwed up family dynamics because you mentioned something about weight loss. It wasn't directed at you, she's obviously got ongoing crap in their relationship. So shrug it off, she shouldn't have done it (nobody needs to hear family ****), but it wasn't anything about you.

Could you have been eating as a way to squash down feelings of anger? If so, now you aren't, you've got to find another way of dealing with your emotions, as they aren't being stifled by food. ETA: some people, when they are stressed/angry breathe too shallowly and can actually hyperventilate without realising it.

Why look for a bread substitute? It's only reminding you that there isn't any bread on the plate. If you choose to use your calories in a different way (which isn't the same as cutting something out for the sake of it), how about rapidly cooking asparagus spears in a pan with just enough water to cover, then serving with a…

What's stopping you going to the gym to work on everything else? Why do you need the trainer? He's on holiday, you're an adult who has done something pretty amazing over the last year - you don't believe that it's been the trainer and the gym that's responsible for your success, do you? The only person or thing that is…

The comment about weight and the risk of heart disease, compared to the risk of eating 1000 kcal in a day wasn't an emotionally laden statement. You've interpreted that poster's representation of the bald facts as their calling you a greedy pig. Which they didn't, and isn't their fault - they're not responsible for your…

Sorry to hear that. If you can't manage food, then drinking shakes could be easier for you.

What I got from the article was 'doctors can't fix this. It's up to YOU'. Which sounds reasonable enough.

Firstly, you need to go back to your doctor immediately. That is, as you know, very low. And, in the meantime, it's easier to drink calories than eat them. So perhaps you could introduce some smoothies or shakes that have higher calorific value - full fat milk, cream, peanut butter - anything that will help you increase…

Shapeshifter. That way, I could do pretty much anything I wanted. And look hot by shifting my excess baggage somewhere else.

I never let myself go. Because I'd never found myself in the first place. I just followed the roles that other people prescribed for me - useless, underweight, malnourished, clumsy, ugly, fat child to an insane and obese mother, who resented spending money on food that her last unwanted child liked, so bought rubbish.…
