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.

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.

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.

Nowadays, everyone is all talk about what we eat. We read a lot of information, both accurate and ill-informed, about what foods to consume in order to achieve optimum health. We make choices about what we put into our bodies each day and if we choose to eat a nutrient-packed and balanced diet, we are…… Continue reading I choo choo choose you
Finding your healthy
Everyone has a different idea of what healthy is. With all of the conflicting information out there, it’s easy to believe that to in order to be healthy, you must stick to rigid plans and push yourself to your limit, no excuses. That’s how I used to feel anyway. But I think when you go through an illness,…… Continue reading Finding your healthy
