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
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
Nice Weather and Comfort Eating
Even though I can't go out very much I am really glad that we have been having some good weather over the last few weeks. Having warmer weather and sun shine means that I can open the windows and sit out in the garden or even just look outside and see sunshine and flowers.

Bad few days
The last couple of days I have not done greatly in terms of my diet. I haven't been eating unhealthy food but I have been eating far too much of the healthy food. I have not been feeling great, I have been feeling a bit down and so I have turned to food for comfort … Continue reading Bad few days
Sick of Miserable Weather
The weather have been consistently bad for over two weeks now and I really want it to be over now. We are getting towards spring now and I am looking forward to the weather to start reflecting this. My city has been flooded for the last two weeks which is still causing issues for getting … Continue reading Sick of Miserable Weather
Small Loss is Still a Loss
I only lost a small amount of weight this week (less than a pound) but I am still taking this as a positive step in the right direction. I had a bit of an indulgent weekend so any loss at all is really good for me. This weekend was valentines day which meant that me … Continue reading Small Loss is Still a Loss
