  • Muesli with dried raspberries and apples - I have a bit of a sweet tooth and it fills me up as well as satisfying my sweet cravings :)
  • Pretty much everything, but I'm worse with anything from Wicked or Sister Act. I'm a classically trained soprano singer as well, so as soon as anything from Phantom comes on, you can't shut me up.
  • Since my sleeping pattern is typical of a student (Stay up til the ungodly hours of the morning, wake up some time in the afternoon, if I go to bed at all) I usually eat after 6pm. I'm trying to quit that though, so if I get hungry in the evening, I'll have a bowl of muesli, that generally keeps me going for a good few…
  • Remember, OP, correlation does not imply causation. Yes, there is a correlation between the numbers of people who eat breakfast and are overweight, but that does not mean that breakfast is a cause. There are going to be masses of intervening variables in this. You can't just cut out a meal because overweight people eat it…
  • Having to buy a pair of UK size 16 trousers. I was genuinely horrified at myself, decided that I have to avoid the horrible "I've gone up a size" feeling for the rest of my life.
  • This isn't really a diet plan, just ideas for meals, but if you can get some frozen fish steaks, like salmon, haddock and river cobbler or something, you can have a really quick, easy meal by poaching them in skimmed milk and having those with cous cous and a side salad. Wraps are quick and easy as well, and you could…
  • Going to the gym first thing in the morning after no sleep!
  • and So far, at least. Getting another at Easter, and however many I can afford in the next few years :)
  • Thanks! They only have one kind at my gym (it's a uni gym) and I've not quite figured out how to adjust the incline or stride length, I can't find a button for it, but I'll have to ask one of the staff there next time I go. My fitness is probably a bigger factor than I thought though, it's nowhere near what it should be…
  • My favourite is watching the men lifting the weights for about ten seconds, then standing in the mirror, giving themselves a gun show and clearly checking themselves out for a good five minutes.
  • Have you considered asking a friend or family member to draw your outline on a bit piece of paper? Chances are, the "fat" image is a psychological thing and you'll be a lot smaller and slimmer than you think you are. Please, get some help before it takes over, because disordered eating often starts with thoughts like…
  • They don't seem to do much, really. I used to use one in conjunction with my weights routine but I doubt that it made any difference. It just makes your teeth chatter really, and it's quite uncomfortable until you get used to it. My advice would be to just stick to your weights and cardio as your bread and butter of your…
  • Just to let anyone else who's 5'3 know, if you go by the comics, then we're the same height as Wolverine. My defence when I get called short. Also, I'm a UK size 12 at the minute, 165 lbs.
  • Helena Bonham Carter's my main one. I don't care that she's over 20 years older than me, she is beaut. Heath Ledger, Trey Tremaiin, pretty much all of Fall Out Boy, Gerard Butler and Melanie Mohlkert are my other big ones.
  • Single and incredibly proud of it :) My plans for Valentines include getting absolutely legless with my best friend and enjoying our freedom :) My last boyfriend was an absolute tosspot, to put it very lightly, so I'm making the most of being able to live without the need to fit anyone's standards again.
  • Very much liking this idea. Burpees feature a lot in the nike training app workouts, and I swear I'm going to end up with actual nightmares about them one of these days. My not-so-old arthiritic knees can't handle them. That and running on a treadmill. I love cross-country running, where you can take in the scenery as…
  • I've heard "because it's raining, I don't want to go outside" from one of my flatmates. Bearing in mind the uni gym is literally a minute or two away from our block, if that.
  • Cheers everyone! Feeling a bit better about the situation now :) Most of the women in my family have the "big boobs" gene, so it shouldn't be /too/ bad, and the height of my ED was when I was around 13/14, so I guess I'll have grown a little since then. I'll have to try out the swimming and lifting though, I don't have…
  • Also, my mum told me that when she was little, her sisters told her that she was found under the hedge in the back garden, and she wasn't actually one of them, but my Nanna was too nice to say anything or leave her out there.
  • I believed up until last month that the song "Who let the dogs out?" was about actual dogs and not the less attractive girls in a club. I think a decent part of my childhood disintegrated with that knowledge.
  • My sister told me, when I was little, that if I didn't jump off the end of the escalator quick enough, I'd get sucked under, chopped into the little bits and fed to the man who lived underneath it. Genuinely believed this for a good few years. I also believed that the number of spots on a ladybird's back was its age up…
  • Do we have secret gremlin rules or something? Also, what I saw on tumblr today "can i end my essay with “u feel me?” Is this the same person who asked if they could start it with “listen you here, you little ****” because that would be a fantastic essay Is this also the same person who asked if it would be ok to use the…
  • Thanks for that, definitely seeing if it's on iPhone I always think that ConTAGion is a good app, it uses GPS to make a little map for you then makes zombies chase you, so it makes running seem like less of a chore. I'm not sure if it's on android as well, but it might be
  • I feel a lot like that when I'm in the gym, but at the end of the day, when we're sweating and really going for it, we might look a bit odd to them, but think of how much better we'll look when it pays off and we're slimmer and more toned! I always end up mentally telling everyone to screw themselves, I'm here to lose…
  • Scrabled egg on wholemeal toast usually works for me - you generally need protein after exercise. It's really quick and easy too :)
  • I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with anorexia - I'm recovering from an eating disorder myself and am just starting to feel myself slipping back into old habits. Are you still at school? Because usually, schools can arrange confidential counsellers, if your mother doesn't want you seeing a psychiatrist. I'd advise you…
  • Originally Accrington, in Lancashire, but currently in Newport in South Wales, at uni
  • Hi, I've been in recovery from an ED for about six months now, and I've started to notice myself slipping back into my old habits, purging after overeating and restricting my calorie intake to quite a bit below what it should be. The only thing I'd be concerned about going on here is the chance of slipping back into old…
