Yes, that's something I intend on doing.

I can't imagine that would be very appetizing, hahaha.

The first picture was taken two years ago at my largest...I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to grow 2 inches within that time frame - and there's nothing to suggest I'm younger, simply because I'm having braces fitted at this age. My sister is 22 and was fitted her braces at 19.

Yes, I've been meaning to invest in some form of smoothie maker for my own sake. Yes, developing a dry socket is what I fear the most. Thanks for the help.

Yes, my dentist mentioned that, regarding straws. I may have to try some of that, I'll see if I can find some!

He did not go into much detail regarding what to eat. He did mention yogurts and mashed potato, and the thing he made most clear was "nothing which breaks into small fragments or is sharp), i.e cookies (crumbs) or chips (sharp fragments), meats (mince) or any spicy foods - and try not to eat anything with herbs or seeds as…

I knew to avoid that post, hahaha. It just didn't sound sane. I sure do, I know it seems like a lot but my height really spreads it out - the picture on left was when I was only 5ft 9", so there's a 2 inch difference.

Correct.

It may not on that picture, but I definitely do! Thank you for all the advice, I'll make sure to keep it on on board. :)

Thanks for pointing this out. I have been tasting something funny, though I didn't know whether it may have been salt residue from when I have been rinsing..since it's day three I figured an infection would be unrealistic as it's so soon. Thank you for the best wishes! :)

Perfect, thank you. Yes,having looked at the wound now, I see thing which are white/cream coloured within the wound itself (after having washed with warm salt water). I'm not sure if this is embedded food or not, or maybe it's white blood cells/scar tissue attempting to repair the hole. Either way, I'm trying to forget…

Thank you. I've just taken a look at that recipe and I will definitely give it a try. I did try to cut bread out of my diet, but it only lasted a few days whereby I found myself with little energy and constantly feeling faint...which does sound a bit dramatic - but I used to eat some form of bread every day for carbs.

Whether or not I should take on the whole 3 miles so soon after being docile, and not exercising.

Hahaha, oh trust me...I do! I guess the angle of that mirror is a blessing. I'm currently 185lbs looking to be 143lbs, started at around 222lbs. I'm basing such goals from those that were recommended by my GP a while back. I'm 5ft 11 also.

Thank you so much for this. I shall look up that book now!

That's such a powerful way of putting things into perspective - and also hard hitting. I will definitely get back on track and begin logging again. Thanks for this! And thank you for the compliments! :)

That's something I shall do, so long as it fits into my MFP daily allowance! I used to loved doing exercise to relieve stress. If ever I had an argument with somebody or I felt perhaps angry I would go to the cellar and work my butt off on the weights or CV machine and I felt relived that I'd both calmed myself down, as…

Thank you for this! My family said previously it's okay to have a few cheat days so long as you work things off after - and this is my first proper cheat day in 5 months and if anything I thought I deserved it...how wrong was I! But thank you for the positive remarks, boosted my hopes a little! x

Much more better, thank you! I'm back into a routine of running again now and having seen that I am the lightest I have been for 3 years has given me much more motivation! Hopefully it won't be long until I'm at my 150/160lb goal. :bigsmile: Edit: I still can't see the loss, though that will hopefully come in time. I…

Thankyou!

Thank you! Oh really? I hope the name comes to you soon, I am intrigued! :bigsmile:

I guess this is something I should consider then. I have just done a cover if y'all want to see it. I did it purposely to request feedback to excuse to horrid flaws, horrid hair and overall horrid face. youtube.com/dign4m

I don't think there are any internal qualities that I benefit from. I just did another video in another room...and nope...my opinion certainly hasn't changed about myself - if not only made it worse. And there's me thinking I can make it in the music industry with how I look right now...HAHAHA.

I never thought that I would need a consultation with a therapist about this, because I never considered it serious enough. I thought it was something everybody went though when dieting.

Would I not be deemed stupid for consulting a therapist for my own lack of self confidence? I mean it's hardly an illness, more so a self perspective thing.

Hopefully. Thanks for this.

I often wondered if that's what some people on YouTube felt like when they first started out. You can see for yourself on an account such as Zoella, or Grav3yardgirl, Pointlessblog (if you know who any of them are)...when you look at their old videos they are incredibly awkward on camera and no where NEAR as confident as…

I'm flattered, though nobody would ever be attracted to me haha, seems too unrealistic. I'm sorry you were treated in such ways and I'm glad you found a solution. If I'm honest I'm not even particularly bothered about a relationship, because I've learned to accept that how I look isn't up to certain peoples…

I am starting to use weights as is, though it isn't making me feel any better. :(
