    There are some distinctly odd folk on MFP (as well as the decent success stories) - not that I count myself as one of the odd ones !!!!

    I friended someone once who kept telling me that the path to my weight/inch loss salvation was not just eating right and exercising but I needed to feel spiritually connected to my food.

    The closest I come to feeling spiritually connected is "thank god that's cooked and to hell with the dishes until tomorrow" but I really don't think that's what she meant!!!

    Indeed. We have finished the penultimate week. Just one more to go. Why is it, though, that the last week of term is always the busiest week in school?
