Summer


So as I sit here in the garden in the most revealing sunbathing dress I own, browsing through social media, I've seen the word 'summer bodies' over a hundred times, and I've legit just woken up, I'm eating my chocolate shreddies as we speak.

What is with people and wanting to look like an airbrushed Victoria secret model in summer. You look fabulous all year round so why the need to change for a month? Put your body under so much stress just so you don't feel judged on Facebook on your profile picture.
Do you know what's beautiful? Smiling. A tanned happy face. Smile lines. Beach hair. Cartwheels in the sand.
Nobody cares how expensive your bikini is, or how toned your butt looks.
When you go on holiday you don't sit judging other people's bodies so why would you think they are judging yours?
Confidence is beautiful.
When you walk past someone and think 'I wish I had their body' they probably just walked past someone and thought the exact same thing.
Nobody is happy with the way they look, because they are fed utter bull crap about the way we should and shouldn't look, even what we wear,
I would never wear a camouflage matching tracksuit but hey ho that's the trend so everyone else does.
Seriously guys, why u find them nice?😭
Who are you trying to impress? Is Sitting down enjoying an ice cream in the sun not acceptable?
We all want to look and feel nice, even sexy. It's important that we feel confident in the clothes we wear, and i strongly advise you find clothes that make you feel amazing and wear them for you! Not anyone else.
But don't punish your body for society.
Surely you have put yourself through enough, it needs balance and health.
Don't miss breakfast with your family because you have to go to the gym.

All this #fitspo has to end. Exercise, is fab, it releases endorphins and makes you feel happy! But when the fun isn't there anymore, you have to think why are you doing it?
Make choices for your own happiness.
Get rid of the people in your life that make you unhappy.
Spread your wings and find yourself.
Share your happiness with others.


I'm gunna end this post telling you about the most amazing cake I just had. Patisserie Valerie you have shown me why I love chocolate.

Be yourself, wear a bikini that you love, that's different, that you feel amazing and sexy and fabulous in! Wear shorts, flaunt your legs because as my mum says 'I wish I did it when I was your age because you can't wear short shorts at 45'.

I can't express how much you need to challenge yourself. Challenge your idea of 'beauty' because I'll tell you what, anyone sees you dancing round in a bright pink bikini is going to think you are the most beautiful person on that beach! A smile tells a thousand stories xx

meal plans and minnie maud

oh the dreaded word, meal plan. for anyone that doesn't know what a meal plan is then let me explain it to you, you basically have to eat around 6 times a day, breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, tea and supper. When you're in hospital well in my case its certain foods, if you wanted a chocolate bar you couldn't have one, you had to have what was on the snack list, which was awful. like so bland, like a cup of milk, i don't like milk. but when you are at home and recovering the meal plans are so much more flexible, you can pick your own snacks and everything and its just so much more freeing! meal plans move up in calories (eugh i hate that word), you start off on a starter meal plan, which is basically designed to avoid re-feeding syndrome. its tiny amounts of food little and often, which is terrifying for someone just starting recovery. when you move on with recovery it becomes a lot easier, your meal plans become increased or decreased due to how ...

About me and my life x

I don't really know what to write about anymore, I love writing. I find I can express myself in ways I can't do physically. But, I guess I never want to talk about me? I try and pick a topic and write about it, but what if I want to just blab on about my day and how the lettuce on my sandwich was soggy for lunch. (World war problems soggy lettuce btw) So this is going to be about me, read on if you want, if not then I understand that my life doesn't interest you. (And my soggy lettuce) I'm happy. Sometimes I think I'm not, I talk myself into feeling like I'm unsuccessful in everything I set out to do. I put myself down before I've had a chance to work myself up! I guess that is a flaw of mine. I'm on medication for depression and I have been for just over 2 years. I'm at a point or was were I thought about bringing down my dosage, so I did, (doctors orders of course) and but by bit my happiness started to slide away. (I'd like to point out...

Reflection

okay so I've been reflecting a lot recently. On my recovery, my past, my journey etc... And I'm just so thankful. I'm thankful to my parents, for getting me help when I believed I didn't need it, for taking time off work to take me to hospital appointments and to be my shoulder to cry on during therapy. I'm thankful for my mum staying strong for me, and making sure I knew everything was okay, even though it wasn't. For being signed off work sick with anxiety and still visiting me everyday and keeping me going and fighting when she was struggling herself. Thankful for my dad, for surprising me with late night visits when I was in the unit, and for letting me sniffle and dribble on your shoulder because I missed the comfort of being at home so much and my mind was putting me through torture. I'm thankful to my brother, for hugging me so tight that he made the pain go away, for coming to see me even though I knew he hated the place, he hated the smell and sit...
