We all mess up from time to time and this recipe is proof that when you do you need to dust yourself off, pick yourself up and get creative. I tried to make a sugar free pavlova at the weekend and it didn’t work. This left me with an icky sloppy mess, some cream and…
8 months out and I’m in crisis
This is a very honest post and I will start by saying that if you are reading this as it happens then you may be wondering where are all my previous positive posts. The truth is I lost my blogging mojo around the time that I lost interest in food. The good news is that…
Face2Face Friday

Last week someone shared this with me and I thought it was worth sharing with you. Unfortunately I don’t know the source but the information really resonated with me… “1. Your hormones will…
My first Weight loss Wednesday selfie
I’ve been on this journey for a while now and thought it was about time I posted a before and after selfie. I hate taking my picture so excuse the stupid pose in my latest selfie but this is the first time I’ve seen a difference. 3 months since surgery and 4 stone down since…
