What if I want a snack?
I was thinking that I would talk a little bit today about the difficulties that you face with hunger and snacking when you embark on a weight loss /wellness programme. You never get to the stage when you think, well that’s it, I’ve done enough, I can ease off now. It’s something that you live…

Dopamine dressing – is colour really good for us?
So, I was feeling a bit tired the other day and everything, including the sky, seemed a bit grey and I was wondering what to wear. I decided to put on my favourite george@asda cream and red jumper, and my leopard print jeans and I don’t know why but I did feel a lot better.…

And now it’s time for dinner …
In my last blog post I spoke to you about how I’ve changed what I eat for breakfast and lunch, so now it’s time to talk about the main meal of the day. Like I said previously, whatever time you eat your main meal doesn’t matter but what does count is what you eat and…

So, a little while ago I started to talk about my low-carb diet, and I’ve been asked a few times to go into a bit more detail on the kind of foods that this may include. It’s hard to detail everything but I will talk about the kind of foods I eat daily and what…

Low carb food options
When I first started to reduce my carbohydrate intake it was with an aim to lose weight and hopefully reduce my sugar levels. What an absolute minefield it was though! Food that I had barely paid attention to in the past, I found contained carbs, and lots of them! A simple banana can contain at…

Size matters?
Sorry but it is Blue Monday and I feel like a bit of a rant coming on Does anyone else feel that the sizing of clothing brands is still ridiculously varied? I can go from a size 12 in one store to a 16 in another on virtually the same item of clothing. Why do…

Brand with a heart
If you look at the photo on my bio, you can see the beautiful, colourful scarf I’m wearing. I love it so much and I wear it a lot, probably too much! It’s from a fashion brand called Scamp and Dude, who are known from their colourful leopard print designs with their trademark lightning bolt.…
