Yesterday, my gorgeous Mum came to visit me in London town, and I had the most wonderful day. We did some lovely touristy things - visiting Buckingham Palace, strolling down Carnaby Street, and wandering through St. James's Park. It was awesome. I was happy. And then this happened, and my mood wa[...]

It's been one hell of a week, hasn't it? I mean, sitting here, in bed, in my cosy little house, I feel well and truly apart from the awfulness that's going on in Boston as I type. It's almost as though, the second I turn the news off and log out of Twitter, it stops happening - but of course, it [...]

I'm not sure if you're aware, but I am not particularly cool. I'm giving it my best shot, with my cool job in a cool company, doing cool things for cool businesses - but alas, I am not, myself, one of the cool people. Here are some examples: I fall down a lot. I'd rather be late for work than [...]

Okay, so I've been meaning to get to addressing this since it started emerging - it's time for me to talk about horse meat. I know I'm late to the party, but sue me - I've been busy. And also, if I'm honest, I'm not really sure where I come down on the whole debacle. For those of you outside [...]

I don't know about you, but I am terrible at sticking to my New Year's Resolutions. Disastrous. Last year, I resolved to go on a diet, and diet I did. For two weeks. As a result, I lost half a stone... And gained 10lbs immediately after. It took me 'til the end of February to remember t[...]

Hello! This is only a short post, but I wanted to check in and wish you guys a very, very Merry Christmas. Here's me and my gorgeous, wonderful, super-intelligent (and a bit of a pop star) sister this morning - we thought we'd dress up this morning, to make up for the inevitable pyjama time after di[...]

America, I am officially gatecrashing your holiday. Because I love turkey, stuffing, and frankly, I think it's unfair that you guys get two goes at a Christmas-style break - so I'm getting involved. Consider me having pushed my way in there. Because I think Thanksgiving is a great holiday, or at [...]

This is a guest post from Matt Peacock, who designed the programme I follow. I asked him if he'd write something that gave a little bit more insight into who he is and what he does - because obviously 'tis all well and good me gushing about his awesomeness here, but, you know... It's not quite the s[...]

When I was fat - or fatter, given the enormous chunk of birthday cake I unashamedly devoured at the weekend for my sister's 21st that I'm pretty sure weighed at least 10lbs and may have single-handedly given me diabetes - I was still... Me. I was still a mind inhabiting a body - and so you'd think I[...]

It's been an exciting week for me, because I finally hit the 160lbs I'd been aiming for for the last two years. Now I'm here, I realise I've still got some work to do, and my target weight has shifted a bit now I'm here - but when I started out, at 290lbs, it seemed like an impossible dream, so to f[...]

Yesterday, I read this quote reported to be from Christina Aguilera (it's since been denied - but bear with me on this), who said she told her record label the following when working on her new album - because apparently, no amount of talent will help you if you're fat: I told them during this Lotu[...]
