Big Mac Wisdom

My first post in at least a year. And I'm writing this after I've just finished a day-old Big Mac, washing it all down with a fanta. Not exactly healthy or diet friendly, is it? I've come to the conclusion that, in my current state, I'm really in no position to be giving any kind of health-related advice. To anyone. The only advice I will give is that if you take my advice, you will get fat. It's the only realistic conclusion after going after this weight loss for at least 15 years. I "know" all about how to lose...

how being fat makes me feel like a failure in every part of my life

Being Fat At the beginning of 2017, I turned 40 and I was fat, the fattest that I had ever been. I had spent most of 2016 on a diet of some sort - all in aim of being at my goal weight for my 40th birthday.  That goal didn't happen. I really felt the impact of being so fat when I turned 40.  First of all, I had failed at my millionth attempt at losing weight.  That I had been overweight for almost half of my life; my attempts to remember how fit and thin I was in my...

being known as the ‘fat, funny one’

I think that I'm a pretty funny person.  I mean, my friends laugh at my jokes and call me 'the funny one'.  Which is both good and bad.  I mean, usually in a movie, the funny one is the side kick friend to the 'gorgeous one'.  The funny one usually never gets the guy (or girl) and is usually ugly and / or fat. See how that's awkward now. When I first started my (current, ha!) diet at the beginning of this year I thought that I was so hilarious when I came up with the following headline in my...

25kg overweight and I feel sensational! wait, what?

Today I feel good about myself. Isn't it great (and a little strange) that losing even just a small amount of weight can have such a positive impact on the way that you feel about yourself. I have lost just over 5kg in four weeks.  And today, I reached into the drawer and pulled out my 'normal' jeans.  These are my favourite pair of jeans because they fit me really well at this weight.  A month ago, on my birthday, they were almost too tight to wear.  I remember wearing them to the kids' first day of school and feeling...

are your thoughts making it hard to think? find out how to live in the present

I'm sick today.  I have a cold and for the first time, in a long time, I'm at home.  Alone.  Completely by myself. It's so quiet.  I'm sitting on the couch by the windows with a view outside.  It's a warm, sunny day and from my seat I can see the tops of the eucalyptus trees that stretch across the sky.  There's a breeze from the overhead fan and occasionally I can hear a car drive past or the fridge compressor switch on. There's no children chatting, playing or arguing in the background.  No call of "Mum, I'm hungry" or...

living life. now. no matter what your weight is.

It's Sunday morning here.  Not too early - just before 7am.  I've been awake for hours, fighting off horrible dreams.  Not dreams about monsters or serial killers.  Instead, thoughts, dreams and feelings that we (probably) all experience almost every single day.  I was dreaming about being left out of the cool group.  If I was 10 years younger, I'd be making a joke about FOMO.
