The MFP Mods don't actually exist.

Where is this observation coming from? People can last a surprising amount of time at low calories. Anorexia is incredibly dangerous, but you can definitely survive at a certain ~set point~ for awhile at a low weight. That's half the reason why anorexic behaviors progress; after awhile, the weight loss slows, so more…

Uh, yes, thyroid medications. Thyroid meds, being hormones, vary in effectiveness from person to person. Armour is natural dessicated thyroid (from pig), and there's ways to get natural compounds. If you end up with a thyroid problem, medication (or treatment of the thyroid, be it full or partial removal in a variety of…

Coming from someone where thyroid issues are a daily part of my life, overactive thyroid was my first thought. As Dope said hydration can be an issue, as can not too low of calories eaten, but you do say you've gained consistently, so perhaps that isn't the issue. I had really bad tremors (couldn't even hold my keys) when…

Thank you.

x2.

Your nose looks fine. You can't really lose weight/appearance from your nose, and not everyone loses weight from their face in the same way to alter the appearance of your nose. Look into contouring with makeup. That can dramatically slim down the appearance of your nose. Not that I think you should; learning to love…

You mean my 10% Ovila or my 11% KBS are water? Wow, you've opened a whole new world for me! (P.S. Most "domestic" beers aren't American at all! :wink: )

I think he was joking :tongue: :drinker:

Apples and oranges.

:drinker:

I'm not sure what you were trying to say, either, from "crapping food." I couldn't tell if it was a weird form of "swearing" to get past the censor, or if you meant "crappy," in which case that wouldn't be a spelling error. Either way, it's also a really broad term to apply. I think they were looking for clarity; you…

If I were to make an anecdotal assumption, it'd be that middle children are pains in the *kitten*. ... Just kidding. *innocent whistle*

:huh:

I do it easier and straighter in the park than just pulling it, tbh, it's less a time thing for me (I'd say time is probably equal between methods if you know how to back in). Maybe it's from years of driving a lopsided RWD car, I don't know. I do it now for any car I drive (unless a lot specifically bans backing in).

I'm amazing at it. Or I pull through. I can get out easier and have a better line of sight. I see plenty of people who can't seem to pull into spots, either.

Are you able to fully supply that with the rate of self-hatred and projected insecurities you have? Taking care of yourself IS taking care of your kids, because while feeding and sheltering a child is necessary, raising children to not see a self-hating, scapegoat-using mother is even better. No matter how much you might…

Forgive me, but you thought that running a marathon would be easy enough to 'wing it,' but find the NHS too difficult to navigate, even to people who are also British and are linking you to resources? I can't tell if you're getting off on making such passive-aggressive jibes to people, or if you are just unable to see what…

Are you able to find a therapist? A quick look-through of your post history shows that others have certainly recommended this for you, even months ago, so it seems like it's something you should really look into. I saw that you had one but it was a way aways? If you were willing to put the time in to train for a year for a…

Is mental health care available under the NHS? I recommend you see a therapist as soon as you can. I'm not sure if you can objectively look at some of the things you're reading or contributing in this thread, but it is very, very unhealthy how you view yourself and view others' words. Good luck.

If I didn't know that a certain person didn't have a job, I would swear I know your coworker...

This clip drives me crazy everytime I see it. WHY DID I WATCH IT AGAIN. Sorry, OP. It sucks to see someone in denial about things. The strange desire people seem to have to for a thyroid problem is mind-boggling to me. (ETA though: "Childish" diet is a bit harsh. People can lose weight, be thin, be fit, etc. eating…

:noway: Holy cow! Your LBM is to die for! I can't believe how tight you look. What are your current lifting stats, if you don't mind sharing?

Ah, because you are older, you must know more than me! I'll just sit back and wait until age allows me the knowledge to cite boybuilding.com as a scientific source! Nice ad hominem though! Your dogged insistence that 8% is even an athletic bf% for women is... well... something. Good luck, OP. Don't listen to this guy's…

1. It's hard to estimate BF% using scales and calipers. It's further inaccurate to make an estimate off of someone's height and weight without pictures. 2. 8-15% is a huge danger zone for women. 15% is athlete levels. Below 10-20% is beyond all essential fat and quite dangerous. Healthy range for women is ~15-30%. 3. Carbs…

That's why I specifically linked it to the pro-ED comment, myself. Seeing people glorify or "want" the ED that's taken over more than half of my life is incredibly triggering. The saying is ubiquitous with that community.

There's many people recovering from EDs on here, and in a more frightening light, lots of hidden users and forums on here dedicated to "pro-Ana" and "pro-Mia" ~lifestyles~ The title of the post is both potentially divisive (luckily, the "rude" people are just posting .gifs and literally countering with why they disagree)…

Pretty sure her argument is that she wished to lose weight for aesthetic reasons. You can be a healthy weight and lose weight and still be a healthy weight and not necessarily have markedly different factors of health. In some cases, having a little less in the healthy range can be healthy, in other cases being in the…
