Accentuate the Positive….

There is great power in thinking positively…but nobody really talks about the debilitating power of thinking negatively. I have thought long and hard about writing some of these blog posts as I do share them with my friends and that is exposing and today’s may just turn out to be the most. Some of you […]

The war; ‘Pre’ vs ‘Post’

Gorging myself on food does not make me at all happy and indeed after pretty much 30 years of doing so I am aware of the outcomes and they are never good. Luckily the need is becoming less as I start to see the results of a healthy diet and exercise, but sometimes the need […]

Gratitude Shmatitude

So a friend and I have just done an aqua aerobics session. It took an hour and was VERY funny! I have eaten ‘clean’ and done loads of exercise this week and I really am doing the Summer Holidays differently. I have signed up for the Colour Run in September with a candid team of […]

It’s a crazy logic

Today I want to talk about self-sabotage. It’s the one thing that drives me INSANE! So….I eat healthily….everything is going well. The food I am eating is delicious and plentiful and feeding my body and my soul – I feel on top of the world. Great! I feel like I can keep this up until […]

fat Fat FAT FAT! (shh! naughty word)

So….in order to get me 3 1/2 stone lighter I have been following the Slimming World program. Basically there are foods that are completely unlimited such as pasta, eggs, all lean meat, rice and grains etc….. Basically the premise is that it is designed to be a very low fat, low sugar diet. This has […]

“Better to try and fail than not to try at all”

So.. June 2016 and the Journey continues…I have decided to rekindle my blog as yet again I am making another attempt at changing my life for the better – there are lots of different things about it this time. I had some Hypnotherapy – this really helped. I realised how guarded I was and it […]

Head in the sand…

These last two days have been awful. I have eaten and eaten and I just can’t seem to stop. The only thing that is on my mind is where my next food fix is coming from and how I can get to be on my own to have it. I didn’t want to write today […]

Posting but not posting…

  The temptation when I feel like I do today is to hide from the world and not document my thoughts because they tend to be quite dark but I can’t help but feel them and I can’t help but feel alone – If I don’t tell anyone how I feel how can I expect […]

Weekends are hard – Days 25 and 26: 50 Day Binge-Free Challenge

Feeling a little low today. I knew the brick wall would hit when I said I was feeling so good. Several things have put me in that mood – I left my classroom in a mess yesterday and can’t deal with that until Monday. It wont feel as though it is a fresh new week […]
