Food and my mental health

I’ve always struggled with food. It has always been the thing that I new I could turn to when things got bad and I couldn’t say out loud what was bothering me. Needless to say I’m not the thinnest of people. Yes I have times when I majorly dislikes certain parts of my body and how I look who doesn’t.
I’ve tried dieting - I get bored with it so easily. Or something happens and the temptation to go back to what I know is more appealing. 
Just over two years ago I got diagnosed with ibs. With the suggestion that I try to get more gluten free in my diet to see if that helps. I have tried the best I can to stick to it ( that has been easier than other restrictions I’ve put myself on ) 

Yes my weight yo-yos who’s doesn’t? I would just love to try more things in relation to food that maybe just maybe I wasn’t relying on the go to foods when things get bad. Especially with the weather changing and it becoming darker quicker at nights. The temptation to just rely on comfort rather than healthy or appropriate is gonna be the next fight.

To just be healthy rather than worrying constantly is my goal. I know I’m never gonna be thin. I know I’m a ‘big’ person. So to be healthy with what I eat and not over think it is the goal. To be happy and not reliant on food.

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.
