whoops! yes sorry about the typo.. most definately dooont take inSulin. that would be..... bad. to say the least.

lalabanana: had a bad experience with bisacodyl myself. it's violent. i passed out in the middle of the night when i tried to get to the toilet.

basically.. all laxatives are a nono. you want to fix the problem, not medicate it (not to mention make it WORSE in the longrun). your doctor will throw laxatives at you very easily, but its because its such a common problem. if, however, you really do suffer with bad constipation....... fibre, it is our friend. and the one and only substance that can FIX digestive problems

cereal isn't "good" for you. full stop. in most cases you'd be better eating a fried egg and bacon. and yeahyeah i know people are fed up of hearing the "protein BS" but that's what us humans are supposed to be eating to nourish ourselves. protein is what we've evolved eating. it's what comes naturally to us.

cereal bars are my real pet peeve. how they can market those things as healthy. low calorie = healthy? NO! apart from the fact that they weigh like 20g and keep you full for all of ten minutes.

when i have kids, ima try so hard to feed them well. no "special k challenges" or "weetabix weeks"

hi guys. im another anorexic turned binge eater (there's a lot of us apparently). it's weird. i've felt so alone in this, but reading all these comments makes me realise.. it's the exact same mentality for all of us.

i also like the thing that spaceoddity said about the food not going anywhere. it's crazy how i can convince myself that if i don't eat that thing, right away, really quick, i will never be able to. it's almost primitive the impulsiveness i feel in that moment.

binging is an odd syndrome. it's like, you're constantly beating yourself up about it.. tomorrow is a new day.. ill make up for it somehow. before you know it 2, 4, 6 months have passed and you're in the exact same state of mind. it's total self sabotage for me. i've realised that i punish myself in many aspects of my life.. i am working towards making a real change (i hope, i think). the best thing we can do is remember our lives are worth more than an eating disorder.

you can really see how the calories add up with things like biscuits and crisps.

looks like cottage cheese and ketchup are on the menu tonight, at least i'm getting my portions worth. haha :) thanks for this!

sorry can't help you with 'softening' it. what i would do is make a lovely bread and butter pud. but i suppose if you're calorie counting it's not exactly ideal advice!

have a lovely dinner anyway :)

this reminds me of a man that was on This Morning.. he had a rare condition in which his body couldn't metabolise calories. they were asking him if he went mad and ate loads of junk and he was like "no, i have to look after and respect my health just like everyone else. i eat nutritious food." i'd be the same as him if calories weren't an issue. but if nutrition weren't an issue i would be pretty damn self indulgent.. haha

some of my old favourites.. ham and cheese toasties, chilli chicken wraps with sour cream, creamy spinach, tobacco onions, hagen daazs praline and cream icecream, crepes, cashew butter, banoffee pie with plenty of fresh whipped cream, profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce, ham and mushroom pizza from this local restaurant with garlic mayo dip (oh my lord...), XL sized bars of galaxy chocolate (couldve easily got through one of these at night infront of the tv), chicken pasanda, spaghetti cabonara, cheesy mash

seriously guys, i could go on..

these arent foods! sorry probably should have specified that. i really don't think it's down to what you eat. i have pretty much a stone aged diet.

but ground flax might help, but it doesnt matter what i eat.. still nothing.. and im assuming youre in pretty much the same situation!

im sorry. i have ME and alot of the time i can't even leave the house.

you'll lose the weight again. just remember things could be worse.x

ahhh i just found this on wiki.

The consumption of corned beef is associated with Saint Patrick's Day, when many Irish Americans eat a traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage. According to the History Channel, while cabbage has become a traditional food item for Irish-Americans, corned beef was originally a substitute for bacon in the late 1800s. [2] Irish immigrants living in New York City's Lower East Side sought an equivalent in taste and texture to their traditional Irish bacon, and learned about this cheaper alternative to bacon from their Jewish neighbors.

my mum made a delicious irish stew which we're still finishing off :)

is corned beef and cabbage tradition? i'm actually from ireland, i've never eaten it before. well obviously seperately. people more commonly eat cabbage with bacon.

I have this linwoods flaxseed, pumpkin seed and goji berry mix. You can put it in anything, porridge, yoghurts. It doesn't taste like much but you're getting LOADS more fibre.

I think linwoods is Irish though but you may find it on the internet :) 

the mushroom, red pepper, rocket onion and pesto probably

sounds delicious!  i love rocket
