It’s amazing how something you hear, or read, can have a profound impact on your life. It’s as if you’re searching for an idea which suddenly gets delivered. It’s amazing feeling, resonating with something strongly. Even more amazing is how often it happens, which is quite a lot. It even has it’s own term in […]
Health At Every Size
My Week In Content
I’ve had a challenge this week, from a good friend of mine, to find a piece of information and share it. She’s not talking about sharing a funny cat video or any of the other random information that generally makes its way through my streams. This challenge is about finding a meaningful piece of information that […]
Are You Too Much Of A Rebel To Fulfil Your Dreams?
I write a lot about dreams and goals and taking action because, well, it’s something that I strongly believe in. Life can be pretty grinding and seem so unchanging. Clinging to dreams and better yet trying to fulfil those dreams by setting goals can make the difference between moving forward, however slowly, and spiralling into […]
A New Year: A Not So New Me
After so many years launching a diet on New Years Day is just habit for me now. And I got to say, this year is no different. There’s just something about the potential of a new year that makes me want to start as I mean to go on and take that shot to finally […]
HEAS Is A Lifestyle Change, Not A Diet
It’s taken me all this time, the better part of three or four years, since I read the book Health At Every Size by Linda Bacon to come to the conclusion that this is a lifestyle change. Duh! Is my lifestyle changing? Well I had the better part of a bag of crisps with dip […]
The Value Of Exercise Or Don’t Take A Major Trip Without Getting Fit
Day 155: A Bit Of An Update (part 2) Part of the reason I wanted to get into HAES was to get fit for the big trip. Turns out I was so caught up in dealing with my post diet traumas that I treated myself with kid gloves rather than actually buckling under and getting […]
Where Have You Been?
Day 154: A Bit Of An Update (Part 1) Well it’s been a while since I last posted here. Three months in fact. The big news is, and you may be able to tell by the picture, I went to England! Best of all I had a fantastic time. Much better than I thought, which […]
Change Happens, Even When You Think It Doesn’t
Day 59: Problems You may have noticed a rather large gap here between my last post and this one. That’s because I’ve been having a complete freak out. The sort that involves binge eating as many carbs as possible, withdrawing completely from everyone, giving up any sort of self care and generally self destructing in […]
Fight Fat-Shamers With Shame?
Day 37: WTF is that supposed to do? My Big Fat Revenge, soon to be showing on Oxygen in the US, is a show where former fatties who’ve gotten “healthy”, ie lost weight, set up a nasty prank on a person who was horrible to them whilst they were fat. I’ve personally had this fantasy […]
Some Uncomfortable Home Truths
Day 35: Listen up, girlee I’ve been following an exercise program for the last four days and already I’m checking to see if I’ve lost weight. So ridiculous. And annoying to see how completely the diet rhetoric colours every thought about food and movement. Deep breath. Let it go. Clearly overcoming the diet mentality is […]
