Almost exactly 4 months since my last post. I’ll fill you in later on what those 4 months have held for me, but for now, I have something else I want to discuss. Food Quantity. My twitter feed is full of tweets telling everyone to eat more food. Don’t be afraid of food. Pile your plate high! Eat [...]

This post is important to me. Very. It’s also one of those posts that makes me oh-so vulnerable – but I’m still going to go ahead with it. I trust you guys, you’ve been good to me. It will come as no surprise to you, after reading my posts and my history, that losing weight [...]

New Year’s Eve 2012. I am sitting alone in my rented apartment, with an illegal rescue-kitty-that-thinks-she-is-a-dog for company. I’m happy though. Really. At the start of the year I was married, doing Crossfit and emotionally exhausted. Since then, I have left my marriage, taken two solo trips overseas, re-entered the dating scene, changed my approach [...]

Directly related to my last post I have just had a little freak out about my progress images. I seriously thought you could see progress, and now I’m not sure. Fuck it. Enough independent people have told me I have, so I’ll roll with it. I hate progress pictures like these. I prefer to only [...]

Before I get down to business, I can let you know that my autoimmune Whole30 is going well. I do miss eggs, but more than anything, I miss tomato paste and spices. Things aren’t particularly hard as long as I don’t try to eat out. It isn’t even worth the effort, quite frankly. But importantly, [...]

Oh seriously, I have been on the huffy bus this week at work. To bring myself back to centre, I have put a new focus on regular blogging and trying to cook something decent each night, rather than relying on left overs. See? Tonight was an Asian-ish chicken soup, using my homemade broth and carrot [...]

I’m at the end of Day 2 of my Auto immune Whole30. No eggs or nightshades. I’m also taking nuts out- but I do that on a regular Whole30 because quite frankly, I know my trigger foods. I’ve taken my starting pictures and will compare them at the end of 30 days. My sleep has [...]

I am embarking on a Whole30, without my beloved eggs, capsicum, chilli  and tomato. I finally understand why people get scared about a Whole30 when they try it straight from their regular diet. I never got it before. I really never found it that hard. But this one? Wowsers. It is worth noting that I [...]

Back to reality after the final big trip for 2012. Much has changed in my little world over the past few months. Alex and I have become good friends over the past 6 months since we separated. I am so grateful for this relationship and feel, more than ever, that it was the best move [...]

The girl who didn’t feel discriminated against at #AHS12 for being fat

In my every day life, I am hyper aware of how my body looks in comparision with every other woman around me. I suspect this comes from living as a morbidly obese woman for many years and having strangers yell out car windows, or making nasty comments as I walked past. But even these days, [...]
