Food and our bodies

Like others in the past I have tried to watch what I eat, other times I just give into it. But recently I have been trying to make more of an effort to eat healthier but also have what I want at the same time as that I feel is what’s right for me. But yet as I buy things there is people around me that tell me that what I want isn’t right, It has to much sugar etc
Because of the society that we live in people are all for watching what they eat, counting calories or not allowing them selves to have what they want to eat for fear of feeling fat or not likening the way there body’s are. We don’t let ourselves enjoy food, It’s either seen as to much or to little.

I haven’t always enjoyed the best relationship with my body but as of recently there has been a change in our situation. But yet woman of all generations still feel like they have a way that there   bodys should be and judging how others are around them. For young girls growing up now and in the future how do we explain to them why so many women and men have so much hang ups about there bodies and the way they are seen by others.

From mothers judging what there daughters eat, to friends judging each other it’s a situation that is out of control and guilting people has to stop. Everyone is on there own journey with there bodies and it’s not about making others feel bad because quite possibly they are doing that themselves.
Whether you are a young girl who idolises someone famous or someone who thinks they have to look a certain way to fit in. We as individuals and socially on social platforms we have to make it ok for food to be ok.

Sales/wish list

Like many I will be doing the sales this year. But it won’t be till the end of the week (let’s hope there is stuff left) A girl can dream right, the presents that weren’t received or the things you have your eye on hoping they come down in price. For me going into 2018 there is a few things that I would like to see if they are in the sales or at least within budget due to getting money to spend. I’m going to start a fresh with 10,000 steps a day so a new set of headphones would definitely be needed as the ones I have I spend more time trying to keep them in my ears than listening to anything. I think I would also love a new jumper as I’m known for wearing the same ones until they hole. I so really need to find new things to listen to as well. With a specific present i got I’m wanting to buy a ring that can wear everyday. The money was from my grandparents and we lost my gran the middle of the month. So something to wear that reminds me of her I think might be nice. I used to alw...

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me...

When another blog makes you think

       https://the-true-me.co.uk/index.php/2018/06/26/just-be-you/ When I first read this post it spoke so much to me. Being just a couple of years older a lot of what was written could of been written by me but in the female form.  I’ve let so much define me and given myself so many labels that i have lost track of who I truly am and what I am about. Growing up I didn’t fit in and was bullied and let it define me. I have never seen myself as having friends. No one that I could turn to if I just needed a chat.  One label that until eight years ago I didn’t know I had was mental health sufferer, it’s one I’m glad to have now. It doesn’t define me but it is making me start to accept me.  I’ve tried to please everyone without pleasing myself. I hope that choices I make from now on are for me and not everyone else.  Life’s to short.
