How often should I weigh myself?
This is something that I’ve been asking myself and have seen that others question this too.

Let’s look briefly at … Continue reading How often should I weigh myself?
Week 10 weigh-in: 5lbs lost this week!
Yes, really! I usually tell you the magic weight loss number some way into my posts but I just had to put it in today’s title! I’m SO pleased!

Week 9: an extra weigh-in as I can’t help myself!
Hey folks When I shared the results of my weekly weigh-in on Monday and told you that I was just 10lbs away from no longer being morbidly obese, I suspected that I had some water retention (time of the month and all that!)

Get me! Exercising at 2am!!

Overcoming anorexic behaviour
I wonder whether anyone can relate but I used to think that somebody would have to be within or heading towards a dangerously low weight for mental health professionals to talk about anorexic behaviour. However, back in 2011-2012, I spent 6 months in this horribly restrictive headspace that almost ended up with me sectioned against … Continue reading Overcoming anorexic behaviour
Week 7 weigh-in: claiming two scale victories today!
Hey folks I love my scales…right now! Sometimes, we can tell that we’ve lost a bit of weight by the way our clothes feel, the way we move more easily or because we just feel ‘different’. People might start to notice although this typically happens after we see the first signs. But, of course, the … Continue reading Week 7 weigh-in: claiming two scale victories today!
