Why do I keep reading this piffle? Liz is almost sixty, but continues to behave like an entitled teenager. She moans about her old banger and how she needs it for her job, but why doesn't she get cabs/buses and trains if she is so hard up? She feeds her cats expensive food from M&S, but if her budget is more Aldi than Waitrose, then she should stop moaning and save herself a few quid. She's also made a documentary for Channel 4 this week. I don't know the first thing about how much television companies pay, but I'm sure they paid her handsomely - which is probably why she squandered it away on a fortnight's holiday as per her column in the MoS this week.

"I realise the world inhabited by ‘normal’ people, ie those who consume more than my eight calories a day, and use an oven for anything other than storing cashmere (I’ve a fear of moths), is closed to me." -- But you're a VEGAN, right, Liz?

"I’ve never had a BMI high enough to ovulate, let alone get pregnant." -- Why'd you bother with the spunk banditry when you were married to Nirps, then?

Having checked the programme information, it appears that far from her version of events ("I’ve just made an embarrassing, unedifying programme entitled Me And My Eating Disorder"), she has in fact merely been interviewed for a TV programme along with 7 other people. Here's the blurb:

Quote:
“ME AND MY EATING DISORDER
An eating disorder says much more about the mind than it does the body. Anorexia, body dysmorphia, bulimia, binge eating - are the external expression of the turmoil within and in this film we hear why.
With unflinching honesty, eight very different but relatable characters reveal how their lives unravelled once they began to use food to modify their emotions - whether battling stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness or shame. Their stories teach us that the payback for hosting an eating disorder is extreme: debilitating physical side effects, from skin disorders, unsightly hair growth and nasty internal infections, to playing with fertility, organ failure and even death.
This touching film reveals how and why these brave individuals recovered and what impact their illness has had on their lives and the people around them.”

She also needs to make up her mind whether she has recovered or not - her article today says she hasn't, while in the dreary she whinges about not having had money to eat for two days. Surely she could afford her daily half an avocado, four apples and a few almonds.

I really don't believe her about her BMI. I've never seen a picture of her looking unhealthily skinny. And yes, as mentioned above, she wouldn't have gone spunk-burgling if she thought she was too thin to conceive.

She would though, because thinking things through is not her thing.

No - she goes to bed at night quoting Scarlett O'Hara "Tomorrow is another day" and, on the morrow, it is another day and all had happened as Liz thought it had happened, not what actually happened.

In her 'Farticle', she claims she's existed on EIGHT CALORIES A DAY? She'd be long dead by now. Honestly, she's way past being just annoying - she's now making herself totally ridiculous.

By the way, what's she got against wild mushrooms? Aren't they vegan or something? And comparing the 'Maitre Ds' of restaurants to 'Gestapo' is pretty tasteless.

Lots of very critical comments re her 'Dreary'. Makes a change. Perhaps the terrible internet connection to her Yorkshire pad meant she couldn't moderate them herself.

So she reckons, in message to her accountant/debt manager or whatever that 'no human being could endure what I'm going through every day ...'


Yup. Compared to what the people being bombed to bloody pieces in Aleppo and the Yemen are enduring ... NO comparison to what poor Jones is 'going through'.

Get a grip, woman.

I only just saw the headline and I was angry immediately. I was the guts of a week in hospital next to an anorexic. She was being artificially kept alive, well breathing at least, no spaces available in a specialist unit. I saw her parents day after day, tormented by a variety of terrible emotions, I even saw one of the doctors display real frustration at not being able to 'fix' this situation which had been going on for months. I've known other older people with the condition and again everyone really suffers. For her to treat this like a fashion trend she digs is awful.

I nearly said it in my earlier post but will say it now. I am a former anorexic, long time 'recovered'. I find people like her infuriating. She talks about 'eating' in Michelin-starred restaurants while claiming that her frugality with her diet gives her a sense of smug superiority over others. Well, listen here, love. There are hungry- genuinely hungry- people who can't afford to eat enough, let alone be 'wined and dined' in a Michelin- starred restaurant. I would invite you to shove your avocado up your fundament along with your first-world neuroses. Anorexia is not something to be proud of. Getting over it is.

It's also dangerous. Her claims could easily be taken by someone as evidence that eight calories is more than enough to live on.

Her acting like refusing to eat is a virtue and people who eat normally are somehow greedy, undisciplined, or weak sounds dangerously like the "pro-ana" websites that encourage eating disorders. As does the way she treats Mary Berry and Nadiya Hussain like scum because they bake cakes (yet she's in a relationship with / was going to marry an ex-baker.) All of that would be dangerous for someone with an eating disorder, especially since she often attracts commenters agreeing with her - fat people being a favourite target of the DM and its readership

Well done you, hats off to you and others who battle with an eating disorder.

Storing the jumpers in the oven is lifted straight out of SATC. Her heroine Carrie said that in one of the episodes.

I suspect the claim to eat "eight calories" was supposedly humorous exaggeration. Because she's full of the lols is Liz.

If she genuinely eats four apples, half an avo and some nuts, that's about 500 calories a day. However I'm not convinced anyone could survive on this, particularly someone who is active (horses, poo, dogs, sundry household things). Plus she'd be really fcking skinny.

I'm pretty sure she just makes this stuff up. Especially as she was throwing a tantrum in the Coop in last week's dreary for not stocking "her" flavour crisps and tofu for her stir fry

This week vegan Liz is happily tucking into eggs and Parmesan cheese purchased by The Baker, who can now afford champagne and a new car "with Bluetooth and mod cons." Guess he'll be getting the gold Dunhill lighters in this Christmas?

The baker must have got his pension. Did she not mention a couple of weeks ago hevwas a pensioner?.x.

Didn't one of the Bakers parents die a while back? It appears he hasn't invited her on a tour of Scotland with him.

Question: If you are skint, do you buy cream, nutmeg and asparagus? Surely you do buy a cabbage, cheap and tasty! And she wouldn't have endured 2 years without a fridge if she hadn't torn the old kitchen out before she could afford a new one.

She still refuses to take any of the blame for this or show any concern about her sister, whose housing money she merrily spent in Devon!

Can ANYONE shed any light on what on earth the 'breakthrough' was that she claimed to have, and is the title of her Diary. All that seemed to happen was she got bizarrely annoyed when he asked for a cabbage and she didn't have one....

Oh, the horror ... she has NO PLATES. Well - good news. I found in the cubby-hole under my stairs a dusty pile of around twenty paper plates, dating from the last (disastrous) barbecue I had about nine years ago in my tiny garden (I set the back door on fire, don't ask). I'll pop them in a Jiffy Bag and tomorrow, I shall limp to the Post Office and send them to Liz.

Comments were good. Loved the one by someone offering to send her the half cabbage they found in their 'fridge.

Did anyone see her TV appearance this week - some programme about eating disorders? Meant to watch but forgot about it.
