feedback on miser's recipe...EXCELLENT! best thing ever with my fave foods ever, love it, thank you!

calcounter i plan to try that tomorrow :P

thankyou rjn for the full recipe, ill suggest it to mum but i think its similar to satay, like the indonesians.....

PB sundae by weight watchers, ill have to watch out for that one lol a sundae...wow thats genius

lol i'd eat the Peanut butter pretty quickly if i were to make it myself :P no problem there.

dondons, isnt when you stir it into a meal like stirfry just satay?

omg thanks you miseric, that looks really simple no cooking or anything...i've found my lunch!!

thanks xo

omg, they both look sooo good :P

*drools*

does anyone know how to make their own peanut butter?

meh, doesn't effect me anyway yays!

does anyone have any peanut butter recipes though? it seems to be a really popular thing im supprised no ones posted

yeah i was on that thread, im in australia hoping it won't effect me.

even if it does...id like some recipes for future referrence, i have some in the cuboard and want creative ways to use it, it's not like im going to throw out a perfectly good jar of precious PB lol :P we've been on this jar a while now and we seem fine, i havent heard anything about it on our news.

yays you use metric :P

it's fast but you've said you feel fine so just keep an eye on it, your not going under your minimal daily intake are you?

i loose and gain weight really fast as well, so i put it down to me retaining water differently, i went from 42kg to 57kg in 3-4 weeks :P recovering an eating disorder! it wasn't fluctuations because ive been maintaining for 3 months now and no changes.

i realise it wasn't healthy but i ssoooo wasn't eating enough for it to be real fat, my body probably just wanted the weight back on i guess.

before you go on any weight loss scheme you should always speak to your doctor (i had permission to gain that 15kg) they know whats healthy and can monitor any problems and give great advice to suit your needs, remember you can't put a price on your health :)

i'd say it sounds all connected, my ED was connected to my depression - which had all these symptoms.

i saw a phsycologist and she helped alot, i took st John wart's anxiety tablets and i found i was more relaxed, they're herbal, or you could ask for full-swing anti-depressants.

this helped me sleep and feel better, and more positive, and so i was able to beat my eating disorder, :) yays for me :)

you know there's a problem there you now just need to see someone about it, talk about it, straighten everything out and get yourself feeling on top of things! if your binging you might want to go see someone specialising in binging disorders?

i understand as a student your budget may be low, but your can't put a price on your health let your close relaives and friends, know, maybe they can help either finacially (parents or partner) and/or emotionally

good luck :)

bella sweetie i hope your well with the ED :)

now like the first post said you should try to eat a variety or your really not getting your body healthy by that much.

encorperate PB into your meals, satay chicken, mix it in with oatmeal, a sandwhich, toast, satay stir fry, dip fruit and stuff into it etc.

don't deprive yourself by telling yourself your going to limit your PB intake, your gaining weight are you not? so don't worry too much, just make sure your getting all the other nutrients for your own sake. don't keep them from your body, your body won't function fully healthy if your diet doesn't include a variety.

best wishes xoxo Holly

no johnny it doesn't mean a healthy kid can eat junk all the time, but they should be allowed to consume things in moderation. i suppose that could be something at home, i just see it a little annoying that their opportunity is taken away. but in general it is a really good thing for primary schools, they should do it in high schools too, most kids i know skip breakfast to have chocolate throughout the day.....i never use the canteen anyway though, but they also are wanting to replace it with healthier option rather than take away the whole canteen. which is even better, ill save moderation for home. but so far its only in some public schools.

i don't particularly like my peanut butter oily so i use the %25 fat free or whatever it is (extra crunchy :P ) i was just curious if it were possible for things all over the place to be changed to healthier option, but really what they need to do (starting with the big brands) is legally limit the amount of added sugars etc. lol sorry did i give you the impression i had an allergy :) i was curious if there was a way to get away from this mad world and it's obsession with processed junk

lol!

well if your looking after your teeth and no one is saying any different i can't see a problem. if you have dentist check ups when you need to (once a year or something??!?!?) he'd pick something up if you were excessive, which it doesnt seem like you are.

OMG ssoo much fun :P my turn!

.....

dark or white chocolate?: hmm the %75 cocoa stuff is real good so dark

whole eggs or egg whites?: i have full they make me feel awesome :) i could never see myself bothering with just egg whites, if i'm gonna have something healthy why deprive myself

fruit or vegetables?: hmm, veggies in winter and fruit in summer, dunno i just change preferrance

hot or cold cereal?: oooohhh hot!

sweet or salty?: sweet gets old in my opinion, i say salty

chips or popcorn?: chips are all eww and sugar and stuff, ive turned off them, and popcorn gets in your teeth, see when i go movies i take peanut butter on rice cakes :P :P :P

cake or pie?: umm depends on whats in it really, but pie is always nice

gingerbread or shortbread cookies?: OMG! THEY BOTH MY FAVOURITES! ummmmm ummm ummm! i dunno, probably shortbread because gingerbead if isn't made right can be off-putting :P

fudgesicles or creamsicles?: wah? sorry never heard of either, but i would take cream over fudge any day :P

hamburgers or hotdogs?: they both greesy :(

juice or soda?: ermm, wow, ooking over this i look really picky....i only drink water and milk, but juice is nicer than soda, they both to sweet in my opinion i cant finish either

celery or cucumber?: cucumber, celery string and boring

peanut butter or jam?: OMG! PEANUT BUTTER :p

mild or spicy?: pardon sorry? lol i like reeeally spicey stuff if thats what your asking

lobster or crab?: umm crab

white potato of sweet potato?: sweet, its like pumpkin :P

ketchup or mustard?: mustard

rice or pasta?: oooh! i love both, rice can be cooked it better ways and is generally tastier, pasta needs a good sauce put can be savoured better

hahahhahah label whore!

i agree, and i read somewhere that sugar is addictive, like physically as in similar ways to people get addicted to alcohol or smoking. which is why the big names make huge moneys, people keep coming back for more, so they can afford to make their food cheaper and that their food would be proccessed by machines and/or labour, while freash stuff is farmed (if your lucky locally) and has more effort and are run by people with less money.

if my family is going to have a cake, we home-bake it and it's lovely, we all love cooking; it's fun and forfills your curiousity and cravings for the food letting you savour it properly. we buy silly 'convenience' stuff too *sigh*

it comes down to choice, but i know what you mean, it's creepy. america has the most amount of overweight people but i've heard australia has a higher percentage (having a much smaller population) and we have some health campaigns in schools. they are taking unhealthy foods out of kid's canteens :( i dont see why the healthy kids should suffer though...

our government is making an effort, thats all it needs, i also heard they are thinking about putting calorie values on everything in resturaunts as well as supermarkets, i personally dont think everyone should know or care unless you need to.

more than anything companies want enhanced flavour that people crave, which was a big mistake, and now there is too much varity to change anything :(

does swapping something like peanut butter to almond spread/butter make a difference, or even if you start shopping at the 'health food store' (you know..people with allergies) or are they just as bad?

we live in australia if that counts, i think she was given a perscription for them, from the doctor and they're very strong. if they're common no need to worry thanks, we'll just go searching for strong sleeping tablets, they just seemed to have worked so well

eat until your full, honour your body and your hunger.

as gi-jane said, you can't live like this forever, it's good to be able to live your life based on what your body feels is right

sweetie, im 5 foot 4, 14 just as you are and my doctor as told me to maintain at 125...

i do think your being a bit unrealistic. your growing, the last thing you should do to your body is reverse that! even being at the low end of health has it's health risks.

especially for your height i bet your darn smexy ^^ and judging by what i can see of your photo you look great!

if its the whole ' my stomach dont look good naked' i mean who thinks they do look good naked!! even people sufferring eating disorders and celebrities aren't happy with themselves.

the facts say your healthy, your self-confidence is a different thing all together, anyone, especially developing teenagers should see a doctor/consellor/parent before event thinking about dieting.

the only reason anyone should want to loose weight si to be healthy and as i said, the facts say you are, so just enjoy life to the full!

115 is definately too low for you and that 'little bit more' isn't a healthy idea either, just have a healthy relationship with your body and trust that you look great, your harshest judge is yourself!

i understand you intentions are good but please don't do it without any supervision (doctor), theres no need to do it at all, so why strain your young beautiful growing body, its not worth the stress or effort.

btw you are still growing, even if your confinced that as yound as 14 youve stopped growing (so not true all the adults i know had their major spurts in late teens) there is still internal growth i.e bones (which btw will mean weight gain) don't take away what you body is trying to build, be happy wiht what youve got, theres not reason not too! only dangerous overweight kids with serious issues should try to loose weight and even then its under a doctor;s watchful eyes, only your doctor knows whats best for your individual self, not you.

edit: btw i just checked, your BMI is the same as mine and im not fat nor 'would i look better' if i lost any weight (which my doctors told me i shouldnt) i don't care what anyone else thinks looks good im only interested in how i feel, why else would a perfectly healthy person want to loose weight? im perfectly healthy and am not thinking about loosing weight because i think i look and feel grea and dont care whether people might think my dress lookes bloated :)
