Oooh I'm emetophobic and paranoid, I do love a microbiologist. :smile: Deeply fascinated by all things bacteria/virus related, I live in horror at the longevity and stamina of norovirus. On the bad food issue - I've read the first 9 pages and had to go and buy a takeaway chicken, bacon and avocado salad. It was ice cold,…

I have IBS and have a few issues if I increase fibre excessively - I also have to avoid fruit as fructose causes me a problem too. I live on small portions of dull food haha. I adore fruit, it doesn't like me much.

That it's a life sentence. I've been losing and gaining the same 35 lbs for 10 years. I succeed, I plateau, I lose faith and fall back to bad habits. Repeat.

Aww, poor you. Sounds deeply unpleasant, but at least you recognised it for what it was. Damn stupid human brain, always causing trouble. :smile: Hope you're feeling better.

Reading this with interest and noticing a very, very gentle evolution in your correspondence OP - you clearly have it in you to recognise the potential damage you are doing, and taking steps to rectify it. Wishing you the best of luck, you have a positive outlook (despite beating up your body on a regular basis :wink:) and…

I'm also 5'3", and I started at 220 lbs. It started to show properly at about the second stone, so from a loss of about 25lbs upwards I suppose - I originally lost 40lbs in total but have regrettably put about 15 of that back on since last summer, so I'm here again at about 195lbs. Keep at it, it takes time and you'll…

I love to observe the journeys of my MFP friends and enjoy nosing through my news feed regularly...but my friends list is limited, as I only comment or post occasionally. Maybe I'm a rubbish MFP friend, but I don't want to be a superficial, say-the-same-thing-to-everybody friend either. I won't be someone who says "you got…

I actually find that eating breakfast makes me hungrier sooner. So I mostly skip it - don't fancy anything till lunch and have more cals to scoff, win win! Personally, I've found myself staying on the wagon and consistently losing over the last 6 months - longest time in years, seriously -by not over complicating it. I eat…

After seeing me in a recent picture on Facebook a couple of weeks ago, an old friend messaged me to ask me what I was doing to lose weight. So I told her. Last weekend, she asked me again. She's either got a short memory or she thought the second response would be more interesting. Another friend was congratulating me on…

SuperHero-Girl and I are the same...I am also diagnosed with Emetophobia (fear of both myself and other people vomiting - some phobics only have one type). I take medication for it, otherwise I'd never even go out. :) Phobias of the non-clinical type - wind turbines. And Maybugs. *scream*
-
The woman opposite me talks incessantly and loudly, often to herself, e.g "AH, NOW THAT'S INTERESTING." Anyone in her vicinity feels,obliged to say "Really, what is?", then the entire bank of desks (I'm currently working a contract for a big UK insurer) is treated to a lengthy 100 decibel diatribe of why some trivial point…

7 days isn't long...I don't have many friends on here, I keep my FL list short and sweet so I know who everyone is, can keep,track and can be more genuine when commenting!! That said...if someone has been inactive for more than about 30 days I might delete them, mainly to try and keep the list current...nothing personal.

Yup, at work...2 years in the most toxic environment I have ever experienced. But I escaped. :)

"I don't sugar coat *kitten*...it's not all unicorns farting rainbows/fairy dust." Etc. There are dozens, no hundreds, of experienced MFPers capable of giving out sound, science based, compassionate, educated advice without being obnoxious, rude, critical or judgemental. But when some are, in fact, obnoxious, rude,…

That looks like my dog...

But it's so hard...

Ack, I can never do it from the ipad. I suck so bad.

I'm not especially prolific on the boards and I don't broadcast my opinion much. I'm no expert, and I'm obese, what do I know. The OPs original question is perfectly valid and there's a shed load of solid advice within the first three pages. :) However. The constant repetition of unsustainable eating strategies, the poor…

Crossed my mind...I squashed the thought down!!
-
I only dared put this pic up because my stupid hair covers my stupid lazy eye. But yup, it's me. There is a full length one amongst my other pics, but I'm a little shy. Re friend requests, I don't get many as I don't post much...but I do get nervous if a man with a great abs picture wants to friend me. Or a guy with a…

Oh, I...I mean, I just...wow. How can that be love? Of course it's your life, but you asked, so...no, it's not right, not at all. This is not how love is. Love is bringing out the best in your partner, in helping them be the best they can be without judgement or conditions, and loving them fat, thin or with a giant hairy…

Walking 10k out in the English countryside is certainly good thinking time...and maths was never my strong point :blushing:
-
Appetite waxes and wanes. I haven't been especially hungry today and only netted just over 1,000...but tomorrow I'll probably eat my own arm plus someone else's. I average about 1500 net cals per day over a 7 day period. You can always save 'em for that day when you just wanna eat EVERYTHING.

Aww, I'd love to become a "proper" runner (or as we call it in our house, a Runnist), I've completed C25k 3 times...but unfortunately, I suffer from CTHS (chronic tension headache syndrome), and eventually a lengthy spell of debilitating, exercise induced headaches throws me off track and I lose my running fitness all over…
-
Ok, cool...thank you. Just wanted to validate that I wasn't completely missing the point somewhere!!
-
So sorry to hijack, but wanted to say that I'm in a bit if a muddle over the whole "TDEE includes your exercise calories" thing. When I calculated mine, I did so using the "sedentary" setting - i.e I have a desk job, and other than walking to and from the car park and around the buildings, I don't factor in any regular…

Wow, I never knew it had a name - my lovely husband has an unfortunately shaped upper jaw and he chews some things rather loudly. And my little dog is a night time paw licker, the sound wakes me up. But I didn't know that the intense irritation and wanting to hurt anybody making that noise has a name! I do have another one…

I read it. You are going through a serious problem here my lovely. No one is going to ridicule you, and you are not a piece of crap. No one could be meaner to you than you are to yourself. I really feel for you and wish I could wave a magic wand to make it all better. Have you sought help? Suicidal thoughts go hand in hand…
