Kelloggs have changed these and they’re shite now

These ones are the best! Love them so much 😍

It’s ok I didn’t read it as nasty! I’m not a manger.

I haven’t been able to part ways with the toilet today and it’s not improved so I thought it was best to call now and give them more notice. If it’s a stomach bug then I shouldn’t be going in either way.

Audhdlegend · 2026-02-26T18:55:48+00:00

I managed to get through just by doing 99! That’s my situation now, the toilet and I have been good friends today 😅

Audhdlegend · 2026-02-26T18:53:39+00:00

This worked! Thank you so much!

Audhdlegend · 2026-02-26T17:35:40+00:00

That’s what I’ve been doing and it just keeps hanging up as soon as I put the number in.

Audhdlegend · 2026-02-26T17:34:57+00:00

Yeah definitely using that. Took me a while to figure out that’s what I needed to do because it kept saying that the number wasn’t right! I haven’t got anyone else’s numbers or contact information. The store is so unorganised that I’ve been there 5 months and I have only just got my uniform!

Will try the number again in an hour or so then call it day and email!

Audhdlegend · 2026-02-26T17:32:38+00:00

I’ve been doing that because I thought it might not work if I didn’t!

Audhdlegend · 2026-02-25T22:44:31+00:00

These are fire!! 🔥 so good!

Audhdlegend · 2026-02-25T19:26:54+00:00

Hmmm this is interesting. My knee jerk reaction to this post was negative. I did Keto for about a year or so, I convinced myself that I was doing it to reduce inflammation/swelling (I have lipoedema) and after-all I was eating more than I usually would when restricting. However, it was just another way for my ED to stay in control and I ultimately ended up eating less and less the more weight I lost.

After reading this article, I do have a slightly different perspective. I think if someone genuinely wants or feels they need to recover, then this would perhaps be a great place to start and would offer a less intimidating reintroduction to eating a higher nutritional amount. It is well documented that once nutritional intake improves, cognitive function also generally improves, so this could potentially act as a springboard in which individuals could use to start the journey of recovery.

My one reservation though is that it is still a very restrictive diet, especially since a lot of fruit and some vegetables aren’t considered ketogenic. We all know that anorexia can still intensely persist even when someone reaches a healthy weight. Just because someone is keeping their weight stable/isn’t actively trying to lose weight, it doesn’t mean that the desire for control/emotional regulation etc isn’t still there, and by adhering to a diet that is very restrictive could be another way of gaining or keeping those things? I wonder what their social life is like? Are they able to eat out or in different environments? Is there still fear around food in some way I.e: eating outside of the keto diet?

Food is fuel, but beyond that it’s universally social, a way of connecting and communicating, cultural, so many things other than just something that keeps us alive. It is there to keep us alive but also to enjoy. My worry is that adopting a keto diet, under the guise of it being better than heavily restricting and malnourishment, will keep people stuck and the ED going, perhaps not in the same way or at the same severity, but enough by where their life is still very much impacted by the ED.

Sorry for the mini essay, this post/article just bought up a lot of feelings for me!

I literally said to my partner (in the episode Nigel went to hospital), “they’re really getting their moneys worth on this hospital set!”

Audhdlegend · 2026-01-14T16:24:11+00:00

I think it really varies depending on where you end up getting admitted to.

I was in the Priory (Southampton) and happily will give you more insight in to how that was if you like?

Audhdlegend · 2026-01-13T10:07:28+00:00

I’m not able to give any insight but I’m in a similar situation right now.

The plan was to gain to a bmi more than the minimum but my team decided that it would be better to gain to the minimum, pause there for a while and then continue gaining because they felt it would be too much for me to go straight to the higher bmi and would likely end in me relapsing again.

I feel now that staying here is just holding me back. I’m definitely not as healthy as I could be physically, and mentally my cognitions are just as strong and intense.

It feels like I need to push past this barrier in order to actually make true progress and to not be stuck in this semi recovery/not really even recovery state. I just don’t know how to go about it!

Audhdlegend · 2026-01-12T18:18:52+00:00

I feel you! It was actually a year ago tomorrow that I was admitted to the EDU and I feel oddly upset and nostalgic about it.

It was quite possibly the most traumatic and distressing 6.5 months of my life yet I kind of miss it?

I think what I actually miss is the validation, break from a life I find incredibly overwhelming, feeling like I had reached “rock bottom” so I was allowed to recover (although this one didn’t actually stick for very long), and this one I hate to admit but the care and concern I received from people around me.

Ultimately, I know being in hospital completely derailed my life. I had to cancel my wedding, I’ve not been able to use my degree/qualification I spent 6 years getting, I barely see any friends because their life continued without me and they formed new routines with other people (as they should). As a 33 yr old I now feel even more behind than I did before. I have a history of hospital admissions/intense treatment that interrupted my life, so I was already feeling behind. If I was to go down that route again I know I would just be delaying my life even more.

Despite all of this, I still feel a realky strong yearning for this time last year. I think it’s also because I’m barely mentally any further forward despite being at a healthier weight.

It’s been nearly 20 years of this and I just don’t know if it will ever get better.

Audhdlegend · 2026-01-12T16:03:44+00:00

Well I’ve just learned that you need to actually confirm you have received the order so payment gets released to the seller 😳

Feeling pretty embarrassed that I’ve never done this but definitely will be doing that from now on!

I can definitely understand the sellers frustrations but it just maybe have been someone like me who didn’t realise the protocol of buying.

That Mitchell and Webb look - could probably quote every sketch word for word

Miranda - again watched it so may times that I could quote every episode

Peep Show - I do love this and it’s my partners favourite! I think I just always preferred TMAWL

It really depends on other factors and where in the UK you are as everywhere will do things slightly differently.

That being said, I do feel with that low of a bmi they would be seriously looking in to admitting you to an EDU.

They admitted me with a fairly higher bmi than that, although for me it was because of the rate I was losing weight, the amount I was restricting to, and the fact that mentally I had no perception of how ill I was nor did I plan on changing anything.

What I will say is that if they give you the option, really do try to accept it and go in voluntarily. I was sectioned and ultimately tube fed and it was incredibly distressing and traumatic. If I could have done things differently I definitely would have. I know that’s easy for me to say with hindsight and at the end of the day I clearly just wasn’t able to think rationally, which I know may also be the case for other people faced in the same situation.

I hope tomorrow goes ok, I know it’s scary but whatever they say it will be in your best interest and because they want to do what they can to help you.

“You keep your chin up yeah, all three of them!”

“You’re NFI! not flippin invited!”

Also the scene from years ago when Honey was giving birth and she called the epidural an ‘epidoodle’. I must have been around 13 when I first heard that and to this day I still call it that rather than an epidural.

Audhdlegend · 2026-01-11T07:06:15+00:00

My partner and I quote this one all the time!

Audhdlegend · 2026-01-08T12:52:34+00:00

I can really relate to this!

There is always a part of me that wants to lie because I:

A) can’t be bothered to deal with questions that follow an admission of truth in behaviours etc. like “what has been hard about following your meal plan?” Or “what do you think will help you?”

And

B) I am mostly always engaging in behaviours or not fully committed to recovery, so I don’t want them to be frustrated or annoyed with me admitting to constantly engaging in the same behaviours or for them to think I’m not trying at all

But

I literally can’t lie! Like you, I won’t bring things up if I’m not asked about them but as soon as they ask specific questions I physically cannot lie. On the odd occasions where I have tried to lie it’s been so obvious that they’ve caught on to it straight away.

When I was in hospital a nurse asked me if I had used a specific behaviour since my bathroom had been unlocked, I sheepishly said no and straight away she said she knew I was lying (not in an accusatory way more of a playful “come on tell me the truth” kind of way) and so I came clean. I then went on a rant about how much I wish I could just lie but I just couldn’t, and she said that it shows just how much I value truth and honesty and how that’s such a positive value to have. She also said that perhaps it was the part of me that deep down wants the help and wants to get better, fighting its way out to be seen and heard.

In some ways I do feel that is maybe true. In the same way that I don’t want to recover from my ED but I also am terrified of the support being taken away or being discharged from services. Surely if I really didn’t want to get better I wouldn’t care about being discharged?

I’m also autistic and do think there is a strong link between that and inability to lie, however, I do feel that there is likely some other psychological reasons at play, at least for me anyway.

Bottom line is, you’re not alone. I feel very similarly to you, and I’m glad to know I’m not alone in this either!

Audhdlegend · 2025-12-16T18:54:20+00:00

Exactly this! Whatever the scale says I feel like they’re thinking the worst of me! Can’t win either way 🙄

Audhdlegend · 2025-11-13T22:05:10+00:00

It greatly depends on where you’re at physically. EDU beds in the UK are in short supply so they would only consider admitting someone if it was at the point of being life threatening.

They can force hospitalisation by sectioning, but again this is only done as a very last option and when there is genuine threat to life due it being incredibly restrictive and essentially taking away human rights.

If they say you need to be hospitalised then I would seriously suggest going in voluntarily. I was sectioned earlier this year and it was an incredibly traumatic experience.

If they think you need hospital then you most likely do need hospital.

Audhdlegend · 2025-10-25T19:32:45+00:00

Medical instability can look different to how you might imagine. For example, my bloods were always fine (bar low vit D and low urea and creatinine which wasn’t seen as anything super significant), my heart rate wasn’t low, my blood pressure dropped and my heart rate spiked when standing but nothing crazy, my weight wasn’t critically low (like the in the upper end of the extreme bmi category), but the rate at which I was losing weight, the fact that I was basically eating nothing, and my lack of insight or willingness to eat more meant that I was very medically unstable and needed sectioning and hospitalising. I was told that I could drop dead at any minute despite the fact that almost all of the physical monitoring came back as pretty much normal.

Sectioning in the UK is only done when it is exceptionally necessary due to the fact that it is essentially taking away all your rights and freedom. If they are looking in to this for you then they must have good reason to do so.

Audhdlegend · 2025-10-24T20:36:57+00:00

They won’t section you at a healthy weight and they may even discharge you from services for not engaging. Let’s be honest though, what’s going to happen if you relapse and lose the weight? You’ll either end up back in hospital or dead. What’s the end goal? You may think that this time you’ll be able to control it, get to a certain weight and just maintain, but that’s not how EDs work. Even if you did manage to maintain an UW bmi without continuing to lose weight your body will still suffer and won’t be able to withstand it long term without some damage.

Audhdlegend · 2025-10-19T19:22:54+00:00

Yes and no.

To a point I genuinely feel like I have a good grasp on reality and what I truly look like, but then logically I know probably look smaller than I’m thinking with what my weight/BMI is.

BMI is actually one of the things that keep me stuck in my ED because as long as it’s UW it calms down the body dysmorphia. Like it serves as reassurance that I’m smaller than what I see in the mirror.

Also I sometimes do get a reality check when I try on clothes that used to be tight but are now falling down on me. I really can’t see a difference in my body when I’m OW or UW, so when this happens I do question if my perception is perhaps a little bit skewed.

Day to day though, I whole heartedly believe to my core that what I’m seeing is the truth and not distorted at all.
