Helloooo! Am back after another blogging break. I have a good excuse though. I was nursing injured ribs. I almost called this post 'Falling Slowly.' I can remember every moment of the fall and the landing. I tripped over a few millimetres of crooked paving stone and landed with an extremely painful THUD! So I …

Q is for Questions
When I was writing the first draft of my book, I asked 'social media' for questions. Mainly to help me think of elements of weight loss that I hadn't thought of. I got more than I bargained for, and I believe they've really added to the book. Here is just a small sample of the …
O is for that ‘orrible word
The word obesity is one of the most upsetting words for me to hear, say or write. When I started my weight loss journey, I was off the standard BMI charts. Having lost 5 stone, I'm still well within the morbidly obese category. I will have to lose another 6 stone! to just be obese, …
N is for Nuts
After a busy week, I'm still playing catch up on my AtoZ posts on the theme of being a Clumsy Carb Cutter . Nuts are one of my favourite things to eat. I have to be very careful of them as I find it really easy to over indulge. In a moderate amount, they are …
(catching up) M is for Mammy
I'm running late this week, so will be playing catch up this evening. M is for Mammy, as in my mother. Mammy regularly tried to encourage me to lose weight. I know she was very worried about my health. When I was in the zone and trying hard, she did everything to help me. She …

K is for Kind
Following on from my thoughts in the 'I is for If' post, I wanted to share another way my thinking has changed over the last few years. These days, I am kind to myself. In the book I'm writing about this journey, I talk about how I used to hate myself. I could not bear the …
J is for Jumping Around
Greetings all. I'm away at the mo, so catching up on my posts using the app on my tablet. Apologies if the post looks a bit wonky. I'm using this #AtoZ to share about being a 'Clumsy Carb Cutter' for the last 3 years. As well as changing my eating habits in that time, I've …
I is for If
We've made it to Day 10! April is zooming past us. Today I'm focusing on the 'clumsy' side of my AtoZ theme of being a 'Clumsy Carb Cutter.' I have long suffered from 'clumsy' thinking. I'm trying to improve that, by use of the word 'if.' Every meal, every snack, every morsel is a choice. …
H is for Have Mercy
I mentioned in my opening AtoZ post some of the changes that led to my five stone weightloss. Since then I have put on a little, lost a little, put on a little, lost a little… I am still five stone down. In some ways that is frustrating as I feel I could do with …
