Is MFP a breeding gound for eating disorders
Every day there is a least one post from someone who is struggling with their relationship with food. I know that mfp 'promotes' healthly eating that posts which promote unhealthy eating are banned but the tools that we all use here food diaries, progress charts, congratulating people on loses etc, could also be used as…

Skiing
It's a long way off but I'm going skiing at christmas and I had already decided that I'm going to enjoy myself.
