I love tumblr!
It’s such a great supportive community, especially with all us weight loss and fitness bloggers.
Hey guess what, i only started this blog yesterday and i got 50 followers already, pretty cool :)

So here’s a thought, a lot of are used to beating ourselves up over our bodies, feeling low, or focusing on the things we...
Today's stuff

ABC diet etc
I’m honestly baffled why anyone thinks this is a good way to lose weight :s it’s so unhealthy, and starving yourself surely means you’ll just put the weight back on when you start eating properly again. I just don’t get it tbh….i feel so sorry for girls that feel like they have to put them through this kind of thing to be happy/good enough/liked/whatever.

Recipe: cinnamon apple muesli

Recipe: spicy tomato and lentil soup
(not my image)
This soup is delicious, chunky, filling, and super healthy. I like to have a batch of it in the fridge for when i’m stuck on what healthy meal to make, or when i just want a quick healthy snack. The recipe is so simple, and you can modify it how you want. Add in whatever veg you like (i sometimes add a red bell pepper), or add beans for more protein. I like it spicy but...

Cake
So i have a story to share with tumblr. My housemate made a chocolate cake, and cut me off a big slice. Instead of saying ‘no thankyou, i’m not hungry’, i dug straight in. It’s that time of evening when my snack-craving goes up, and my willpower goes down.
BUT, i don’t feel bad. Actually i feel good about myself right now. Why? Cause halfway through, i realised that...

Carb changes:
This is an easy one. I’ve decided to swap white carbs for brown carbs. SO: brown pasta, brown rice, brown bread. And i actually prefer them! Especially brown pasta and bread, yum yum.

I don't want to be
skinny as possible. I don’t want to be X lbs or Z dress size. I don’t want my happiness to be ruled by the number on the scales.
I DO want to be the best that my body can be, and happy and comfortable in my own skin. THAT is my ultimate goal.
