Oh and when i do make toast with butter, when i spread it it HAS to be an even covering all over the bread, not yukky melty lumps and no dry bits!! :noway: I can pretty much…

Hiya! Frustrated here too... fuming really, as I've been trying to lose weight too, and i could honestly say hand on heart that these last 2 weeks, i havent cheated, or legged it to the shop for a bag of Haribo (my weakness!) and how mad was I when i stepped on the scales to find i'd GAINED 6lb!! Furious, sad, almost in…

I have the belly overhang too! I had an emergency C section with my second child and my belly hang is horrid... i can grab hold of it at both sides and wobble it... yak! I was told it would never go completely as when they do the section, they cut right through your previously toned and loved stomach muscles and because…

I know a little how you feel, you seem like many of us to have sunk into a bit of a depressive state, which alone can crush any sort of motivation and can and does make you feel lethargic and tired. when you already get that with your illness its like a vicious cycle. However, what i would suggest is that you take it easy…

I know how you all feel - Ive let myself spiral out of control so badly. I used to be very fit and active, a few sports injuries and the pain got worse and worse, eventually at 22 (!) i was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both knees. it was then that i lost a lot of hope, the pain was there all the time, i felt i'd lost…

I find that I comfort eat when in pain too.... also because of the veritable cocktail of meds im on (Co-Codamol, Gabapentin, Fluoxetine, Omeprazole (Thanks to the ibuprofen giving me stomach ulcers) I also find that if i take the full dose, i can sometimes feel quite sick and then get trapped in the 'God im hungry, oh but…

Aha... Daypro is a NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory) much like ibuprofen etc so that will reduce the swelling which causes pain etc, the Robaxin is acting like a nerve suppressant/muscle relaxant, as we all know, being tensed up causes pain, and also the Robaxin will help block the pain signals to the brain itself.…

Ive had it from all manner of people, my mum with the usual gems: 'Your sister is the pretty slim one, you, well, at least you have some brains.' 'You are fat and ugly and no one will ever want you' (i was 15 years old, with a budding eating disorder, 5"1 and weighed 90lb) At work, a 'colleague' would constantly harp on…

Growing up both of my parents were VERY HEAVY drinkers, at least 12 cans of beer each per night. By my teens (and im talking 13 - legal age in UK is 18) I was drinking neat vodka. I thought that's what everyone did! honestly! I was drinking a lot until my late 20's but never in the house and never around my children until…

I think we are all agreed that it is literally like a period of mourning and acceptance - it is hard to come to terms with some things that you used to just do - even though it bloody hurt to do them, but now you are being forced to acknowledge that you SHOULDNT and find other ways instead. :) my cross trainer is my…

Can i jusy ask... as a Hiring Manager - what is it about the tattoo that would make you say forget it, (and im not in any way being 'funny' here) but is it some kind of stereotypical knuckle dragging uneducated rude beer drinker that pops to mind?
