I have long aspired to be wonderful in every sense of the word. Striving to get there was part of the challenge, but the hardest bit was changing how I saw myself. When I was obese I was full of judgement and self-hatred
It's so tempting to let a problem slide, be it an issue at work, a relationship that isn't working or our food habits. The thought of tackling things head on can be so overwhelming that you might want to shy away from ac
Short episode alert! It’s pretty straightforward. High calorie food is simply too high calorie to fit into a balanced diet in anything other than a small quantity. Sometimes we want to have our cake and eat it too, and e
You might be convinced it’s impossible to lose weight. You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing changes. Having spent 10 years at double the healthy weight of someone my height, I understand why you might feel
I can see why people think this, particularly if they themselves have never been overweight. As someone who’s been through it I understand how we can wind up with weight problems against our will. That’s not that part th
It would be lovely if there were magical solutions to our problems. Sadly, that’s beyond the realm of possibility. What is possible though, is starting the work. It might not feel like that’s the case, but I assure you i
Losing weight can be a battle, but having a plan can shield you from the hardest blows. Personally, I succumb to my urges to overeat the quickest when I haven’t planned a healthy meal. I feel intimidated by all the gym e
A common pitfall in weight loss is to get side tracked by your goal weight. I would stand on the scale every day and do the mental maths to see how far away I was from success. If I could go back now, I’d do things diffe
Losing weight the natural way is a struggle. But in that fight, you get stronger. You change. You end up a new person. You emerge from the battle ready to face the rest of your life. There are “easier” paths to weight lo
This is yet another piece of toxic diet culture that I think has the potential to do more harm than good. I’ve relied on it myself for far too long. It sends the message to my body loud and clear that I dislike it so muc
You can ask yourself this question every time you make a food decision. You might want the snack, but you might well want to lose weight more. It's up to you to decide. If you’re in the habit of throwing caution to the w
Yes, it’s cliché. But the fact that diet is the most important factor in weight loss can never be repeated enough. So many of us eat too many calories to stay at a healthy weight. This is a very recent problem, and it’s
You might think once you get to your goal weight, you’ll be able to become a whole new person. Why wait? In fact, shifting how you view yourself can both create new habits and prevent you from limiting yourself based on
Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz gives such fantastic advice on writing comedy that it’s applicable to other areas of life. This line was about not scrapping your material if you start to doubt it. Don’t chuck
I concede, it’s not all in the mind. But so much of being in shape is mental, some say as high as 90%. Even if you feel like you have no fitness, you are still the owner of a human brain. The foundations are already ther
I always imagined being able to afford a trainer to whip me into shape. I thought that would make it easier. But it doesn’t. Weight loss is hard, even with someone else there helping you. It’s you that has to do it. A tr
Everybody knows I love a good debunk, so this week I’ve taken time to address some rumours I’ve heard about calories. The rumour in question came from AI, so maybe it’s my own fault for consorting with robots. Either way
We have high expectations of ourselves. We’ve been programmed to believe we need to get up and give 100% every day if we want to succeed. But that’s not how nature works. Nothing on Earth gives everything it can every si
This is not to be taken literally, I am not commanding you to run. But think about it. We’ve all seen the people in our lives get older. Those that have taken good care of themselves seem to do better in their later year
I initially planned to make this an opposite day edition. On the face of it, it’s useless advice. If you feel lost and have given up hope, how is being told to ‘just do it’ going to help? The thing is, we can just do it.
