  • Up To Speed!

    I am updating this page and adding a lot of old blogs of mine so you can expect to read a lot more from me in the days ahead but lets just say that as August of 2019 draws rapidly to a close I remain incredibly grateful. I am so fortunate to have had gastric…

  • A Kind Deed

    As far as weekends go this one has really not been great … many a drama to be had and I was 100% over everything! So tonight I will admit that I probably looked a bit the worse for wear when I had to do a pit stop to Woolies in between child And teenager…

    Goal Setting – November  We do this every November – we set goals for the year that is going to soon be upon us. so I am going to be offline and unplugged this weekend!  I set VERY specific goals for myself for this year. Some I have achieved and some I have not quite…

  • Day 16 Post Op – HANGRY

    Day 16 Post Op – in a bad mood 😑 Am I just Hangry? Is this my inner bitch breaking free of her pain induced silence? Could it be that I miss food? I suspect it has to do with struggling to eat much of anything and a bit of a blood sugar drop. Or…

  • Food Nom Nom Nom

    I wasn’t 100% sure about sharing this part of my journey but meh – I have been open about everything else so here goes.  Food has been a bit of a friend to me, albeit a bad friend. Food was something that I turned to in times of stress or anxiety. Most of us now…
