Feel sad fat and ugly :(

Honestly feel like if i went running tonight, someone would throw a bottle at my head because i am that ugly, fat and horrid. Desperate :(

RAW foodies?
Anymore about? I probably 'cook' around 40% raw now, just made a wonderful raw sunflower pate and a raw hummus. I am really looking forward to getting a food dehydrator so that i can make sprout crackers and things. Would love to hear from more raw folk!

Sooo cooking is an 'exercise'....
But sex isn't! How come? Sometimes i spend just as much time upstairs as i do in the kitchen and certainly break more of a sweat! Perhaps i should log it as more belly-dancing!

2 day fasting diet
Has anyone done this/heard of this? Loads of my friends seem to be taken by it, eating very little for 2 days and then eating what you like for the other 5. I cannot see how it would help you lose weight unless you were moderate about what you ate on the other five days but its an interesting concept, that for the…

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS
A gluten free diet is NOT a low carb diet Gluten does not = carbs it is perfectly possibly to have a low carb diet and still eat gluten it is perfectly possible to have a high carb diet and not eat gluten. When people come on here, and say they are going gluten free, it is not because they are following a 'faddy trashy…

Carbs...
To prevent myself from going over on carbs, i have to exercise each day for at least half an hour I dont get it, why is eating a banana so bad? Or an apple? I eat pretty healthy now, but i worry about having too many carbs and i would far rather be under each day than over but its always tipping the scale and i dont like…

over on fat :(
I have just gone over my 'allotted' amount of fat, with a bit of olive oil!! I seriously wasnt' expecting that! I am not too worried because i am breastfeeding and most of that is fat (something MFP doesn't seem to recongise and just puts it in as calories) but seriously! how are you supposed to prepare decent food without…

What do you include?
In your exercise bit on here? I have set my lifestyle to 'lightly active' and i put in any training or workouts that i do aside from that but i am wondering if that is correct? I am a stay at home mum, so for example today i cleaned for 2 hours, carried a 35 pound toddler up and down the stairs 3 times, walked around 2…

Just out of interest...
Is it better to have one 'cheat' day every once in a while, or have a little treat every day? I have always wondered this... Take it to the extreme, is it better to pig out on choccy once a month, or eat that choccy throughout the month even though its considered too much for you? I wondered this when i was not making a…

Heartburn!
I suffer terribly with heartburn, it does not assist my weightloss at all either. I have just be prescribed a daily pill that removes my indigestion and its bliss! I dont think about food all the time because the acid in my stomach is not informing me of when it is empty. I think it is really going to help :)

I have realised 2 things in that two weeks 1. that i have been eating too little and too much rubbish in the last few years, so basically keeping my body in…

Focusing on the positive!
I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we all wrote down the small, positive changes we made (or big positive changes!) For example When i last went out for coffee with my hubby, i got a skinny latte and didnt eat any of the cake he bought to share with my son, i usually would have had a cake to myself! I went…
