I’m not one to cry often. It’s not a new thing really, I feel emotion, the tears just don’t often appear. I have, however, quite literally cried over spilled milk when I dropped not one, but two, lattes all over a lovely elderly couple during the first few days in a new job as a…… Continue reading Big girls don’t cry

When organisation isn’t key
Hi everyone, It’s been a long time, I know! I have been actively thinking of blog post ideas and I swear have written about seven in my head but sometimes, life just gets the better of me and I don’t sit down and put pen to paper or hand to keyboard. Today I’m going to…… Continue reading When organisation isn’t key
You were born this way!
Lady Gaga has just responded to internet trolls that decided to make negative comments about her body following her Superbowl performance.She wrote: “I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I’m proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too. No matter who you are or…… Continue reading You were born this way!
What brings you here?
Well well guys, long time no see. Or chat. Or whatever we are doing here. The last few months have been pretty hectic, between moving out, moving home, Christmas and moving away, hence the silence from my end. It has all been good change (bar the 10 or so mosquito bites I am currently trying…… Continue reading What brings you here?
Your health is YOUR wealth: the art of self-care and not giving a crap about the rules
Ask someone what a healthy lifestyle is and they will probably respond with the following: exercise for 30 minutes a day five days a week; eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day and drink plenty of water. Women are told to have 2,000 calories a day; men 2,500. You should limit…… Continue reading Your health is YOUR wealth: the art of self-care and not giving a crap about the rules
Life before death
Whenever I find myself slipping back into old ways and the ever-persistent wrath of ED, I think about my own death. I know, I know. Thinking about such a morbid event doesn’t exactly sound like the best way to boost your mood. And no, I am not an extremely negative and grim person. Hear me out!…… Continue reading Life before death
Fight or flight
I’ve never been much of a fighter. I can probably count the number of real fights I’ve had in my life on one hand. Ok maybe two hands. Either way, fights were never really my jam. It’s not that I am a holier-than-thou absolute image of perfection and goodness, I’m just too lazy and usually…… Continue reading Fight or flight
Tell me why…
…ain’t nothin but a heartache, Ain’t nothin but a mistake, I never wanna hear you say, I want it thaaaaat way. (Backstreet Boys, ‘I Want it That Way’…. for those who don’t know. You should know though…) Sorry about that brief outburst. With a title like that, I couldn’t help myself! Without further ado, I will…… Continue reading Tell me why…
If I let you go…
Facebook tells me how long it has been since I’ve updated this blog. ‘It has been 15 days since your last blog post’ so it tells me. Jeez, don’t make me feel bad! It actually reminded me of being a kid when you’re about to go for Confession and you have to tell the priest how many…… Continue reading If I let you go…
Strength comes in small packages
A month or so ago, I was talking to somebody about the “exciting” rollercoaster ride that somebody with an eating disorder goes through. Seriously, if this ride was in Disneyland, I’d be asking for my money back or at the very least, a free Jungle Book or Aristocats toy (not a Frozen fan, sorry to disappoint!)…… Continue reading Strength comes in small packages
