i know it’s easier said than done but you just need to ignore her and carry on as you want. if needs be, remind her it’s your wedding not hers. you deserve to have the day YOU want.

Prioritise high large and low volume foods. You get lots of calories without needing much appetite. But high large foods can cause early satiation so you may find it difficult to eat too much without feeling very full very quickly!
If you’re really struggling to eat, have very limited appetite, or experiencing nausea due to stress, then your doctor can prescribe nutritionally complete supplements. Fortisip compact, for example, only 125ml of dairy based liquid (consistency and taste like a yogurt drink eg yop!) for 300 calories. They take up very little room in your tummy, easy to drink and digest, and available in high fibre or high protein versions depending on needs. If not eating enough it’s very easy not meet fibre goals so this can help. Drink two a day and you’ll consume same amount of calories as six slices of toast for only 250ml of liquid!
If you don’t want to visit your doctor or want to try a more readily accessible solution first then drink glasses of whole milk regularly throughout the day. If you can tolerate it (some people just can’t stomach milk. It is one of the most nourishing foods on the planet. When I was in inpatient treatment for anorexia and working very closely with a dietician on a weight restoration plan with a stomach that was very used to undereating, I was drinking six glasses of whole milk a day without a problem. Also, it’s actually more hydrating than water!
I am so sorry that you’re under such stress and I’m so impressed that you’re prioritising your health over the lower number on a scale.
I never even thought about something like this. Thank you, I’ll pop into a pharmacy over the wkend and have a look round.
Yeah, it’s nice losing weight but I’m definitely concerned about how quickly it’s dropping. It’s not natural for me. I lean towards being a bit heavier
Anecdotally, as I know the official line is ‘none of them’, but has anyone had experience of a contraceptive pill that didn’t increase appetite or known to be less likely to? Thanks
I can't say I've ever noticed that with the implant, and I've had maybe 4 over the years.
i agree, i’ve had 4 implants in 14 years (had a break when ttc/pregnant/immediately post partum) and have never had any issues with it
@Monkeymagic85 did you get your property back from Very?
Nope
. They lied to me at every opportunity including telling me royal mails lines are shut! They can’t say for sure where my parcel is, if they have it or if it will be returned.I’ve raised a complaint with Royal Mail who accepted responsibility but they are now not responding
If you don't get anywhere the website resolver is really good.Nope

I’ve used them before for a different issue, good shout, cheers
Can you report it as theft?Nope

Yeah probably, not sure the police will actually do anything though! It’s all very annoying
Maybe not, but letting them know that a police report has been filed, might spur them into action, also ask for details of their insurance company and say you will be submitting a claim.
Struggling with a really negative colleague. We have the same manager, and I am in a more senior role than her but I do not directly line manage her. It's a busy time at work, 2 weeks out from our annual big event.
You'd think nobody has worked harder than her, more hours than her, or done more than her. Multiple times, our shared manager has remarked to me that she has been reluctant to take work on and that she is negative, and that we should find ways for me to be able to delegate work to her (as my workload is high). I said that she is often reluctant towards this as she's very aware that I do not line manage her. My boss' response was 'don't worry, she's got the same attitude with everyone'.
I tend to largely get on with my own work and ignore her moaning. We generally work well together, but she happened to snap at me in front of our shared manager today when I pointed out something to be changed in the final draft that I, fully admittedly, had put in. She said 'I need you to ensure everything you send me is clean because I am too busy for this'. I ignored it, because quite frankly, we're all busy and in a mad pre-event rush. My boss also said nothing.
But I just feel like this is a growing problem and I'm not quite sure how to address it. I've been assisting more and more of her work, which I am happy to do because I am in a more senior role and I am able to finish things quicker - both my side and also for my boss, who tends to have less rounds of feedback for me and trusts more of the process in my hands. Still... has anyone dealt with a colleague like this?

You need to request a 1:1 with your boss, and tell them exactly what you have written here. She sounds like she is taking the piss.
You need to nip it in the bud immediately. As soon as it happens. I know how I would handle it but a lot depends on your work situation on how nice you need to be when stopping her.
If you don’t stop it, it will carry on and get worse
The dreaded Chatgpt will do this for you.
This is a minor problem but it is driving me crackers. I took the cover off my baby's car seat to wash and now I can't find the handle for it anywhere. How can a fairly sturdy piece of plastic just vanish? I've looked in all the obvious places and it's just disappeared. 
Have you maybe popped it in a little pocket/flap in the car seat? I remember in my kids ones, they had like little pull out parts for adjusting the straps etc.This is a minor problem but it is driving me crackers.
