  • I don't like icing.. at all.. And I may be the only person in the world, but I'm not particularly keen on pasta, rice or bread.
  • I love duck breast, it has such rich flavour and it surprisingly low fat (if you don't eat the skin, of course).. I'm just a meat lover in general, though not a huge fan of pork.. I HATE the smell of roasting pork, but I can't say no ribs..
  • If someone asked me what I had to eat on any given day at any given time, I'd tell them, I have no problem sharing what I eat.. however, I feel context is important. Also, I don't find it necessary to share with the people of MFP because I don't need or want diet advice at this stage, if I ever do I would consider making…
  • Please don't listen to people who tell you that someone who doesn't follow your rules or engage only in behaviour you are comfortable with is not worth your time.. That is an extremely conceited outlook and you're highly unlikely to ever find someone who meets your expectations, unless you really are the kind of guy that…
  • Take some mini fillets (chicken tenders) bash them up a bit and coat with dijon mustard, fresh ground pepper and a little oil.. mix it all up really well and leave to marinade, I find it best to fry these (no more oil necessary) on a high heat, just a few minutes each side, they will be golden brown and deliciously tender.…
  • I'll be logging.. I can't see it being all that bad really!
  • I think Christmas always sorts those who have their glass half empty from those who have their glass half full! i have had some terrible Christmas experiences in the past but I still love the overall holiday spirit.. for me, it isn't about the day, the presents, the food.. it's about the atmosphere of the season.. and all…
  • I'd love a cookie right now.. this thread just made me hungry! The only time I feel bad about what I eat (and not necessarily) is when I'm disorganised and I end up with takeaway.. I always find it disappointing to taste and easy to overeat as portions are so large and the expense makes me feel guilty for wasting any.. I'm…
  • 24, Surrey! Hi everyone =)
  • Do not expect understanding/sympathy from a group of online strangers on a fitness forum, you are highly unlikely to receive the support you need, and that is likely to be more damaging for you at this time. It is VERY difficult for anyone to understand a mental health issue when they have no experience with it personally,…
  • I try to stick to the goal MFP sets, but I never let myself go hungry and if I want something.. I have it, regardless of if it fits within my goal for the day or not.. it's working for me, I'm losing weight consistently and I don't feel deprived.. As for the exercise calories, I only eat them back if i'm hungry.. not just…
  • Look at it as a learning curve.. the experience has left you feeling bad about your choices.. you can make a more informed choice next time and smash it! Take a nice long walk/work out for a bit.. shift those extra calories! You can do it =)
  • So sorry for your loss, and to echo what others have said; do not be too tough on yourself in this time of grief. As an emotional eater myself I know exactly how habitual it can, it ceases to be a decision and becomes a natural reaction.. and only after is it regretful and leaves you feeling worse. I would get into the…
  • Who really cares what other people do? If it works for them.. it's obviously not doing too much of a disservice.. if it doesn't, it certainly wont be detrimental to anyone else.. Personally, I have my lifestyle set to sedentary.. I log actual walking (my walk to and from uni, for example), not walking whilst shopping,…
  • I think people only make excuses when they don't want to change.. Reasons are totally different.. I can tell you exactly why I'm overweight.. and I suppose some people need to share these reasons to feel less ashamed of their bodies and lifestyle choices.. I can say that I'm not lazy, but I struggle to motivate myself to…
  • Yeah.. I've lived in the UK 24 years (my entire life) and i don't know either.. 'Alright.. mate' seems to do the trick.. *must be said in a cockney accent*
  • I know how you feel, I never ever wanted to be a 'smoker'.. I used to just smoke every so often, then whenever I had a drink, then when I went out anywhere with friends who smoked, then at work.. until I was a full blown smoker.. it crept up on me! Why I like smoking; 90% of my friends smoke Gives me something to do when…
  • This is why I'm scared of the gym.. not because of the OP but the thought of people who are there just to watch others (the 'talent' and anything/one else they deem obscure and/or amusing, I'm sure) and chat amongst themselves.. I would feel really paranoid if I was working out and there were people just standing around…
  • Yep.. when I'm sick I just want to eat EVERYTHING (well, all the unhealthy everythings, anyway) and feel constantly hungry..
  • You don't HAVE to eat anything specific.. but it's beneficial to you if you do! Also, bulking up your meals with veggies makes them more filling for less calories =) There has to be some kind of veg you like, if you just give them a try you'll find something.. I have no idea how much weight you have to lose, but I know it…
  • I'm 24 and a bit of a latecomer to life.. I spent a huge chunk of my teenage years being severely depressed, gaining weight and not really knowing what to do with myself.. I worked full time from the age of 16 but I always knew I wanted to get a decent education.. I just didn't know what to do. I started an access to…
  • 1. What is your eye color? Greeny brown 2. What is youre favorite season? Autumn! 3. What is your favorite Holiday? Christmas =) 4. Have you ever been arrested? Nope 5. What are 2 things with in arms reach of you right now? Phone/blanket 6. Would you rather know how you are going to die, Or know when you are going to die?…
  • I know how you feel, I've been doing really well with healthy eating and avoiding my problem foods.. Today I accompanied my elderly Nan to hospital in an ambulance and all I could think about the entire time was devouring a bucket of chicken or a tub of ice cream.. Instead of allowing myself to cave in to the intense…
  • I really struggle with this also.. All I can do to stop myself is eat my evening meal later (about 9pm) then occupy myself with tasks.. like painting my nails and walking the dog until bedtime (12-1am ish)..
  • [/quote] 'Isn't there a theory that the simple act of observing something in action, changes that action. So maybe seeing those numbers would change something for some people. Maybe not all, but it might for some. I know I changed my behavior when I saw a certain number on the scale. Maybe it holds the same for other…
  • I just don't get it, why is everyone so much more obsessed with a number on the scale and a chart.. than a balanced diet and active lifestyle? Does is matter about the number? Really? I understand from a schooling perspective, if that's the policy so be it and it's nice to have a reference when discussing 'issues' with…
  • I don't know anything about weight of children.. but I know from working in a nursery some kids are 'chunkier' than others, you would never think of them as 'fat' and I'm certain parents would never imagine them to be 'overweight'.. but they do carry a little extra and a little can make a big difference when you're talking…
  • I really hope my feet dont get any smaller!! I love my shoes =(
  • Yes, Master Chef Australia is my absolute favourite and I love anything Gordon Ramsey and CDWM (obviously), the cookery slot on This Morning, Saturday Kitchen.. struggling to think.. too much food info! ! I think about food allll the time, sometimes I can't sleep because my mind is too preoccupied by what I'm going to eat…
