Ohh my Glob!!

Well well well.....the weight just keeps coming. I cannot stay on track. I was terrible last week. I'm talking biscuits. Papa John's. All the houmous!! And I did the worst thing and avoided getting weighed until Saturday. My normal weigh in is Monday!! I did run home from weigh in on Saturday to try and clear my head. But today is Monday and though it's only been 2 days since my last weigh in. I went and got weighed..... Another half on.....so 2.5 on last week. Half on this week. Might as well have not bothered the week before! But the rational side of my brain says it would have been 3 weeks of gains if I hadn't been so good the week before. I have so lost my focus. And now I'm so miserable I just want to keep eating!! My focus seems to be all over the place at the minute. My mojo is so disrupted. I've a few things on my mind, I just cannot focus. But I have a food plan for this week. And the next 3 weeks. I did a big online shop to help. I did a good run...

My Own Worst Enemy

No we're not talking about the LIT song. Though that is a tune!! I'm talking about me and me!

But there's one voice, louder, more stubborn and WAY more annoying than anyone. Mine!! I am a stubborn person by nature, i am my fathers daughter. So you'd think i'd be one of those women that took something between her teeth and didn't let go until i reached my goal even if someone tried tugged it away from me hard enough. Maybe form the outside, that exactly who i am.....but this voice inside tells me every single second of every single day that I can't do this, that i don't deserve it, that i shouldn't even try, cos i'm only going to give up.  S o i always feel like i'm failing.  I'm always comparing myself to others, even though i tell everyone not to do t...

Welcome!!

Hello Friend! Welcome to my blog! So glad you dropped in! My name is Vanessa (Ness for short) and i'm currently in the process of setting up a YouTube channel, i have an active Instagram and a no so active Twitter. Promise i'll get round to that! I've been on a journey this past year to lose some weight, get healthy and overhaul my life. I am following "Slimming World" as a "structure". I don't want to call it a diet, because its not, its a lifestyle change.....and boy didn't i need one!! Back in the day I pretty much only ate food on the beige scale....even the veg I ate was on that scale!  I slowly started to introduce different foods into my diet. And aside from a little more veg it was mostly bad foods. A year and 9 months ago I was challenged by a friend to try a vegan month....i accepted as I thought it would be great to get me to eat better. A month passed and another and another and here I am still vegan. The first year...
