A picture I never thought possible 🎄🥰
We spend our year talking of shrinking and growing, diets and exercise, work and play but all that really matters in the end is that we are healthy and have people in our lives that love us, that we can love in return.
Closing off 2025 accepting that things aren’t always easy and the past year has been incredible but it’s also been a struggle for a lot of reasons. It’s ok to admit that, it doesn’t mean that you appreciate things any less. While life has its ups and downs, we are so lucky. Sending love and prayers to all those still struggling, here’s to a happy, healthy future ❤️

Give yourself a break, not a breakdown.
The festive period asks a lot of us and for some people comes with a lot of expectations and (often self imposed) pressure.
There is such a thing as not having time for exercise. But have you might just not have the mental capacity either.
Any sort of routine at this time of year can feel impossible for a lot of people. Christmas preparations all mount up. When you look at it all written down, it’s a lot.
It’s ok if you’re surviving, not thriving through the festive season ✌️ 🎅 🎄

Would you be happy for your child to talk about their body the way you talk about your own?
Little ears are always listening. They are always learning and constantly mimicking. They understand and learn how the world works, right from wrong, kindness, self awareness and self respect by mirroring their peers, other adults and, most importantly, parents.
Even when you think they aren’t listening, they are.
When you talk to your partner about ‘feeling fat’.
In the playground when you talk about trying to be ‘good’.
Chatting to a friend about ‘needing to get into shape’.
Standing in front of the mirror criticising your size, your shape, the way your bum looks.
Weighing, measuring and counting out food like a human calculator.
Criticising someone else’s body out loud.
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with intentional weight loss, but would you want your little one to have the same self worth that you do?

Once I would have recoiled at this statement.
I would have said ‘no it’s not’ or ‘that’s not nice’.
But it’s just a fact.
My stomach wiggles and jiggles, my skin moves and stretches. It’s been different shapes and sizes, grown and shrunk, gained and lost weight and muscle and grown humans.
And all stomachs are different, each unique and each wonderful.
And I want my children to grow up knowing that no matter how their bodies and the bodies of those around them look, they are all cool.
You can be a size 6 or 26 and still have a wobble, it really doesn’t matter.
Let’s face it, for the most part, isn’t it better to have a jiggly belly and be happy and healthy than chasing something just for aesthetics?
Besides, Santa’s belly is the wiggliest and jiggliest of them all and who’s cooler than Old St Nick? 😏

This made me sad.

Not because the person was chasing intentional weight loss - you do you. But the fact that people still view exercise solely as a component to aid weight loss is frustrating.

What about discovering what your body is capable of, what you can do with it rather than how it looks.
What about looking after your old person bones and increasing bone density earlier.
What about being strong enough to be able to pick up your kids, or having the cardiovascular ability to run up the stairs without getting out of breath or chase after the dog in the park.
What about the social aspect, the mental benefits, the pure enjoyment.
What about having the opportunity to get outdoors, enjoy nature and all the joy that it brings.
We need to move forward and step away from the idea that exercise is just another tool to shrink your body. Instead, view it as an opportunity to enrich your life.

Don’t think skinny. Think mobile. Think strong. Think energised. Thing socialising. Think opportunity. Think fun 👌

It’s a long one and one I’ve been ruminating on for a while, so bear with me.

I haven’t been present lately on social media. Mental health is complex and mine has always been wrapped up in my struggles with my physical health.

Infertility can make you feel like you’ve lost control of your life. After 7 years of being prodded and poked, pumped full of drugs and hormones, successes and losses, I feel like I have to learn who I am again. My body is finally my own again, the brain fog is lifting and the hormones are messy, but I can recognise that things are rough and I need to work on my relationship with food and exercise. And that’s ok.

I’ve asked for support, I’m doing the things that scare me and I’m making changes. We all struggle sometimes and right now I feel like I’m swimming upstream through tar, but I know I won’t be the only one who’s experienced it. Even the realisation that I needed help felt like a weight lifted.

We control what we can, when we can but sometimes the best thing we can do is let go a little.

To anyone else struggling, I’m here to listen ❤️

You think your words don’t have an impact, but they do. As adults the values and opinions of others impact our own world view, as children the adults in our lives help us form our own values and opinions.

You may think children are too young to understand or hear the things you say, but they are not. Weight stigma, fat phobia, body dysmorphia, checking and dissatisfaction self criticism - the list goes on. None of these are inherent, they are all learned behaviours.

Don’t voice opinions on other people’s bodies or apply negative connotations around food when you’re talking to children. Especially not your own. Or just around people in general.

And how about you just focus on not projecting your issues onto others this Easter and let us enjoy our chocolatey goods however we please. Don’t be a dick,eh?

Reason, season or lifetime doesn’t just apply to the people in your life.
Starting to exercise is usually fuelled by something - a desire to meet new people, to get stronger, improve mobility, feel more comfortable in your body, the list is endless. The reason may change along the way, but we always have one.
The form of movement we enjoy changes over time. We might fall out of love with something, or simply find something different we want to try that suits our needs better. You don’t have to stick to the same thing for the rest of your life - each phase is temporary, it’s just a season of your life and at the time, it’s the thing that is best for you.
Having these seasonal changes - adapting, resting, trying something new and shaking things up, makes an exercise more exciting and therefore more sustainable. It can become something you can see yourself enjoying for a lifetime.

So no form of exercise is more worthwhile than another. You don’t need to criticise yourself for no longer doing something you did a decade ago, because you’re in a different season of your life.

Seasons change and so do you 🍂
