Push the boundaries of your COMFORT ZONE
When I was 14 years old, I attended a musical theatre summer school. I was also strongly in the grips of anorexia. The teachers cottoned on quite quickly that something was wrong.

BMI is B.S. – Raspberry Mojito Oatmeal
On Wednesday I had to be weighed and my height measured. Before I had an appointment about my STOMACH. Not confusing at all. I must admit, my hackles did raise. I make a solid point of NEVER WEIGHING myself. My mum hid the scales in my family home MANNNNYYY YEARS ago. And I don’t have…
What DIET CULTURE actually does to your body… – Plum and Hazelnut Overnight Oats
Today I have a hospital appointment. It’s not for my mental health. It’s for my stomach. I was diagnosed with IBS as a young teenager.
