I've been trying it and honestly the fast days haven't been too bad but my mood has been fluctuating which I'm not sure if thats linked :/

Ok, I apologize ahead of time for this because at the moment I'm not sure if it's partly the low mood speaking , I'm really glad it's working for you but I've got so much to lose and having been told that I can't do the exercise I did (I was doing 4 hours kickboxing/grappling a week, eating a healthy calorie appropriate…

Depending on your home circumstances / whereabouts could you check for something like a para-fitness/army boot camp fitness class near you ? The reason I say is because I've known them include things like log lifts or have you got a wood pile you could attack with the axe ? Exercise and stress relief in one move :wink:

To be honest the best thing you can do for clear skin is lay off the products especially make up and just soap and water and a good moisturizer. If you are getting spots , some rose water (which is very easy to make) kept in the fridge and put on a cotton wool pad then held against it every couple of hours will help bring…

Sound advice, thank you , I'm doing some reading around etc because to be honest my Dr's advice has been mixed and in some areas about as much use as a chocolate fireguard :S

I've been advised to eat six small meals due to multiple hernias , supposedly it places less stress on the stomach and means that it's never empty enough for the acid to start attacking the stomach and therefore cause an ulcer , how does that work with this ? (Citation wise this came from medical advice and coping…

No , looks like one of the paintings of Lizzie Siddal x

Break it down into small manageable goals, when you look at it in terms of getting it back on track then it does seem like a huge thing, why not set a small goal like tracking your food for the next three days then take it from there? Has anything particular happened to derail things?

Nice ink :D

The only thing I would say in this ladies defense is if she's anything like my sis (who married young and ended up divorcing) they miss out on that bit in teenage where we figure out what is and isn't appropriate behavior and seem to go a little release crazy post divorce where they seem to try and make sure they can catch…

I'd try looking on http://www.bwy.org.uk/ for teachers because the right yoga teacher is great but some teachers can do more harm than good :/

Genetics , my grandad reckoned he could recognize any female member of our family from the back , from 300 yds away ..but then he was also fond of describing ladies chests as looking like chapel hat pegs .. and I'd say some of it is night shift 'eat to stay awake itis'

I'm assuming it's back to A so amulets

I think it's the dishonesty that's more of an issue , If it was me I would have been upfront and said 'are you ok with me going to brunch with..'

To be honest I would either be very honest with her and just ask how her brunch was or I would gradually edge her out of your life and keep her just as an acquaintance because being dishonest to you was incredibly disrespectful and gives the message that she assumes your stupid enough not to find out (which you're clearly…

*crunchy*

Everyone I know on facebook has been given very clear and detailed descriptions of what will happen if they tag photos of me .....

Zen ironing , (the concept my aunty Olwen gifted to me and in turn I gift to you) divide the jobs you have to do round the house into manageable chunks then pick one which you tend to feel better knowing it's out of the way and do that when you feel miserable because the feeling afterwards is 'Life may be crap but at least…

Oh dear , bringing back memories of six years of night shifts and eating to stay awake. Is there one or more people at work who would like to lose weight (I bet if you ask around you will probably find there are!) If so form a weight loss syndicate and support each other. The other possibility is and I know this won't be…

Lots and lots of them , doesn't help that my sister is so skinny that she looks like she has an advanced ED but will cheerfully sit and eat entire tubs of ice cream at one sitting , also doesn't help that much of my weight gain has been due to anti-depressants (3 stone in twp months on one of the tablets) and it's mostly…

It's good to get them to make it with you and give them lots of encouragement for making healthy choices :D Yoghurt with some mixed fruit like grapes /blue berries to mix in, pitta bread with salad etc on so lots of fresh and not too much processed and little portions of several different things that can be picked at…

I would agree with what everyone is saying in regards to professional help even if its just to discuss the way you're feeling because you may want to be remembered as the healthy girl at school but you really don't want to be in the position of trying to sort out an unhealthy relationship with food at 30 + Bear in mind a…

Arrrgggh , know several women who do this when trying to get men to do something for them , makes my palms itch just thinking about it ..to be honest I tend to hate it when people do it to children, older people and people with disabilities, conversations should be age and understanding appropriate (sorry social work…

'Thinking outside the box' ...no, lets stay in the box , it's nice and warm and safe in the box !! I like my box and how dare you try and make me leave it .. 'stiff upper lip' and 'worse things happen at sea' are amongst the list of platitudes that make me borderline homicidal , if someone genuinely wants to make my…

ponderously

grated khol rhabi is very nice on salad as is mooli (japanese radish) I keep a big pot by the backdoor where I grow mixed salad leaves like mustard and land cress (DONT grow this in open soil it's unbelievably invasive!) Putting fresh picked stuff in salads makes an awful lot of difference even if it's just herbs out of a…
