What Slim Fast (and Every Other Diet) Can Do With Their 7 Day Plan
So, this morning I was casually scrolling through Twitter, minding my own business. Picture the scene: I'm humming cheerfully, enjoying my Saturday morning coffee and eggs, listening to some old-school jazz. The sky is blue, and I'm still in my pyjamas. Okay, the part about the sky isn't true. Bu[...] -
Strength (and Pride, and Power) Training
Back in the day, I'd say I wasn't a very strong person. I wasn't necessarily weak, but I just kinda let things happen. I stayed in relationships too long because leaving them would be too hard; I stayed in education too long because I didn't think I'd be able to find a job; I comforted myself with p[...] -
Quit Planning, and Enjoy the Little Things
I've always thought of myself of something of a planner. I love a good strategy, me. When I'm not blogging, I'm paid to do just that - plan stuff. Strategise things. Day-to-day, I've got to be super-organised, thinking ahead days, weeks, and months in advance. And that's fine by me, because, as I[...] -
Fear and Loathing in Haagen Dasz
Since I (briefly) mentioned I was inclined to binge eat here, I've been inundated with questions about it - questions which it's taking me a while to answer, because frankly, I'm not sure how. See, when I try to talk about things like my tendency to binge eat... I just don't want to. Yes, [...] -

As it happens, I have something of a fuzzy head after a welcome night out with my new housemates - which was ridiculously fun, but my God, I am tired. You may have to excuse any parts of this po[...] -
The Battle Pose
I like to think I'm pretty confident. Most of the time, I've got no issue with meeting new people, and I love a good chinwag - so outwardly, I'd say I'm pretty outgoing. Plus, I did post a series of photos of myself in my knickers for the world to see a couple of weeks ago, so I'm pretty sure nobody[...] -
Think Positive... Lose Weight?
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[...] -
An Honest Post for World Mental Health Day
Today is World Mental Health Day - an initiative by the World Health Organisation which is designed to "raise public awareness about mental health issues. The day promotes open discussion of mental disorders, and investments in prevention, promotion and treatment services." This year, the theme i[...]
