Okay, serious time here: I am very sorry, Amy, that you won't be running for a while. I hope that you take your doc's advice seriously though, and don't try to do too much too soon, as I am sure you will be fed up to the back teeth with not being able to do the things you want.

However, as I've previously explained to you in several well intentioned PMs, the more you mention your foot the more people are going to joke about it. That's the nature of YD. I'd like to think we're all adults here and I take full responsibility for my actions - I trust everyone else does the same.

I'll also reiterate that I NEVER post anything on here that I wouldn't say to someone's face. Everyone who's met me knows what a complete cowbag I am

Hey cowbag.......

(only jokin' man)

Get a job in a dive school....

All day running around or shivering in the water
No time to eat
cycle to work and back

This has been my fitness routine for a couple of months.

Also serving ice cream in the shop puts you off the stuff for life.

It also helps to have a bad memory. Every time I go upstairs for something, I forget what it was when I get up there, come back down, and then remember and go back up again. I reckon that is good for toning the thighs.

Always look on the bright side of life, te tum te tum te tum

Cheers Vonny - trouble is I've been doing all the exercise I can fit in but it's still not shifting. I have struggled with my weight for most of my adult life and Slimming World always works so I'm glad I've gone back. I shan't stop doing the exercise though.

When I lost 2 stone in 2002, sensibly through diet and exercise, I vowed I'd never put it back on again, so I am horrified to admit to myself that over a stone has crept back on in the last 18 months. It makes me very anxious and gives me low self esteem.

I have never had an easy relationship with food and I'm unfortunately one of these people who in times of great stress try to assert some control in my life by resorting to bulimia. It's irrational and I can't explain it, other than it isn't anything to do with weight, it's about regaining an element of control in your life when everything else is spiralling into sh1t around you.

Between 2003/2005 I had it quite badly, so perhaps the weight gain is more to do with my life getting back on track again in the last 18 months.

I have been quite surprised over the last few years to find out just how many outwardly strong, switched on, intelligent and apparently 'sorted' women I know have, in times of absolute crisis, resorted to sticking their fingers down their throats. Before anyone dismisses this as a hysterical girl thing, I'm not just talking about a bad hair day, I'm talking about times of real anguish.

EDIT: I should point out that I haven't posted about bulimia because I expect or want anyone to feel sorry for me (but thanks for some nice PMs peeps ). I am very pragmatic about the whole thing and it's only because I'm willing to admit to it that I have discovered so many other people who suffer from it. It really does have nothing to do with weight though - it's about circumstances beyond your control sending your life into chaos. Being in control of your body in an extreme way helps to make you feel that you are in charge of a part of your life. I like to be in charge!

That's because those shorts are tiny - fat birds can't fit in them. look how small the waist is. Seems silly to me, fancy selling tiny shorts to make you thin?

Ran a 5 mile race last week, and another on Wedsnesday this week, then a 10k cross country, did I say cross country? I meant mud bath last night. Slipped and slid in every direction, pulled just about every muscle I have below the waist as well as landing on my a$$ a few times.

Resting today.............
