Beautifully written. And I can relate. My father has tried all sorts too, and yet is now bigger than ever! I'm not ready to get rid of the scale yet, but I have set myself some fitness goals. 1) Drink more water 2) For January I am challenging myself to do one extra push-up per day. I am ahead of schedule though, I can do…

Bump Just because.

Perfect advice. That's what I'm doing since my boobies went away. My bottom is much nicer than my tiny boobs ever were :)

You're right in saying that a binge means different things to different people. To me, a binge is completely mindless, unplanned gorging on whatever is to hand. This is my experience. If all I had in the cupboard was bread, bread it would be. If it was pasta, then pasta it would be. If all I had was soap or paper, then,…

I have crushed on men because of their nose shape before. I think I've grown out of it now, but I still have a good look at everyone's nose. I love the kind of nose that people get a rhinoplasty to 'correct'- a big sticky-outy-bony nose, not rounded or bulbous at all. Extra points if slightly wonky. Ok after reading that…

:heart: like:heart:

+1 I wear makeup about twice a year.

YES!! I have so much more body confidence now. And a mental wellbeing that comes from exercise. I sleep better, so I feel better. My SAD has been nowhere near as severe as previous years.

I think minxy as a username suggests suggestive suggestiveness. Not hating on it :) Most of us just want to show off our new better bodies.

+1 Really not sure if its even worth wearing a bra tbh.

This was nicely put. Daniel and his three companions were aristocrats of Jewish society. They were hand picked by Babylonian officials to be trained in special service to the Babylonian king. They were well versed in Jewish law, and did not want to risk displeasing their God YHWH by eating food that was considered unclean…

What are you like? :flowerforyou:

I knew you knew. But I wanted to make sure no one was getting offended. Except someone did, but not you and me, eh?

Not in general. But people 'on diets' do tbh The pizza comment was tongue in cheek.

Cut out entire foof groups for no good (ie medical) reason. Pizza is a food group right? Edit. I meant FOOD not foof!

Keep starting again. Every Monday.

I am a grumpy 'get off my lawn' type woman with a mental age of somewhere between 2 and 100. I think this picture makes me look cheerful, pleasant and deceptively normal. I normally change my picture every couple of weeks, but a few on my FL said this was a keeper.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm not sure whether to warn hubby or not- it might upset him. But at least I will be able to reassure him when it happens. Two questions were raised in my mind though- 1) how high is your toilet water?? I'm thinking that is a very low danglage (new made up word) if you can dunk yourself in the…

This too shall pass. Sorry your life is difficult right now, that's how life goes. And it goes on and on and on. Until it doesn't any more. Life is rarely convenient and easy, you just have to keep dealing with the challenges. As the PP said, where there's a will there's a way. You can get through this.

Sweet chilli dipping sauce, soy sauce, garlic, cumin. I also add about a tablespoon of vinegar to almost every dish, usually a pinch of sugar. A stock cube goes a long way to add easy and tasty flavour. Worcestershire sauce jazzes up almost anything. If I just had to pick one though, I think it would be dark soy sauce. I…

Just Ash- you were pretty close :) Papalov- 27?

Papalov- 35?

Clean eating means that the 3 second rule is drastically diminished to just half a second. On a different note, when making chicken stock, using a raw chicken carcass (instead of using a leftover roasted chicken carcass) is described as using a 'clean' carcass. It does result in a clearer broth. So maybe that's how people…

Not an explanation, but I can relate. I hate the taste of blackcurrant, but roughly once a year I REALLY want a glass of ribena. Same with baked beans, and coca cola. Anyway, I give in to these rare cravings, just to see if I still don't like them, and guess what, I found that I quite like baked beans now! Yay for…

TL;DR Its what I have long suspected anyhow. *gives up and eats cake until Jan 1st

Cauliflower has been a much maligned vegetable in my house since I was tiny. Only my mum liked it, and we thought she was weird anyway. I'm really not surprised it's turned into an insult. Cauliflower farts are horrible. Cauliflower crust pizza is an abomination, and people cannot really eat it because it tastes as good as…

That sounds delicious. Is it very high in calories?

Y this guy all over my azz Doesn't he know That I got my own cash? I know that you want A piece of my azz (Azz) Don't you know that a guy like you Couldn't last (Last)

Nice post OP, we were all newbies once! Especially me, MFP is actually the first site that I joined on the internet. I had (probably still have) a lot to learn. I was one who started logging calories consumed (1200 a day) and added exercise in (cleaning, food prep etc etc) then went through a process of reading actual…
