There seems to be an assumption in the media and in society at large that if you want to lose weight you need to completely change up everything about your diet. You need to ditch all the stuff you enjoy and live entirely on salads and fruit like some kind of rabbit. This is just … Continue reading Eating for Weight Loss

COVID-19 a Lesson in Consent
Ok this is going to sound weird by bare with me here. COVID-19 has taught me a lot about boundaries, specifically how most people are willing to completely disregard other peoples boundaries based on their own desires and personal feelings on the matter. I have anxiety which means that I am always thinking of the … Continue reading COVID-19 a Lesson in Consent
Covid – forgotten but not gone
I don't think that I can be the only person that has noticed this but it has become increasingly clear over the last few weeks that although Covid is still around people have stopped taking notice of the guidance of social distancing. I have heard a lot of people talking about being in a 'post … Continue reading Covid – forgotten but not gone
Keeping Motivation
I have been really busy over the last week or so. This is the point where I would normally give up and give in to some of my cravings but I am not letting this happy any more.

Lost Track
I have lost track of a lot of things over the last few weeks. Such as what day it is, what week it is and even what month it is. Even though I didn't go to many places before lockdown (I wasn't the type of person that had to go somewhere new every week) I … Continue reading Lost Track
Feeling Determined
I don't think that I am the only person (probably by a long way) that has let what is going on in the world get the better of them. Over the last few weeks I have been in a cycle of starting off the day well, getting getting to to around mid day, reading something … Continue reading Feeling Determined
Goal Setting
Over the first few weeks of being on lockdown I was far too hard on myself and this has got to stop! I would set myself really unrealistic goals in things that I wanted to get done each day to make the best use of the time. Then I would beat myself up over not … Continue reading Goal Setting
