I spend way too much time hating my body at the moment. I spend hours wishing it was different. I fight with the urge to make it smaller by any means necessary every day. I do not take care of my body the way it deserves. I do not show my body the love that it shows me. This has to change. Life is way too short to spend it at war with myself. I don't want to waste time hating my body just because it doesn't fit with society's ideal. I want to love my body, every single inch of it. So I have decided to write it some love letters. I started with my arms because my arms get the most hate from me. I was going to write them just for me, but I wanted to put it out there in case someone else needs to love their body a little more. If you do, I challenge you to write a love letter to your body. If you decide to share it, please tag me! I love to see people unapologetically loving themselves! Stay strong warriors 💚💜

I. Love. My. Hair. Also my face isn't so bad today 🤷🏼‍♀️

There is something so powerful in writing. I don't share blogs on a timescale, I write when I need to write. I write some things that I don't share, because those things are only for me. I highly recommend writing as a form of healing to anyone that asks. It is a way of releasing those dark feelings. When I share blogs, it is in the hope it will help someone feel less alone. It is also accountability for myself. When I openly share my unhealthy habits, I am less able to hide them, in turn meaning I am less able to do them.

My brain has been screaming at me today that I'm not good enough. I have spent waaay more time than I care to admit, shouting internally that I just wish I was fucking skinny. I have berated myself one second and tried to love myself the next. * Safe to say I'm bloody exhausted 🤷🏼‍♀️ * So here's a photo I took the other day. I think I look alright here now, but I can tell you I spent an hour trying to take a decent selfie and hated every one at the time. * I could have posted this and pretended to be all happy and cheerful today... but I like to keep it real 🙌🏻 * Shout out to my fellow ED and anxiety warriors 💚🙋🏼‍♀️

Knowing, Respecting and Loving Yourself Link in my bio - please share with anyone you feel may benefit from reading this. Maybe share just because perhaps someone will benefit even if you don't realise it. Stay strong warriors 💚

Celebrating 1 year with this weirdo today! 1 year ago today we became official, I already knew I loved you then and I love you more now. You are not my other half and I am not yours, we were whole before we met. You are the hidden bonus level on my game of life. I could not imagine doing the rest of it without you nerd! Here's to many more years of adventure and general awesomeness. 💜💚 Now excuse me while I go throw up in my mouth... that was as cute and soppy as I'm gonna get 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

What have you got to be sad about?

What have you got to be sad about? I have been asked that many times. For all the work I’ve done to be open and honest about mental illness, I have still been asked this question recently. This question and the attitude that comes with it, is what makes me feel like I have to […]
