Life online shows only one-side, which is perfect images of perfect-looking food. But the reality for many of us is that we often have bruised or misshapen fruits and vegetables. It is nice to see pretty pictures and click like from time to time, but my life doesn’t have that image each day. AndContinue reading “Bruised Fruit”

Update: My Ovarian Cyst – Bean

Food Glorious Food
For years and I mean years, I found solace in food. Whenever I was sad, happy, bored or relaxed I found eating food made me feel? Different each time. Preparing the food, I salivated – I knew I was making something I ‘really’ wanted to eat. Rather than having 2 bacon rashers, I wouldContinue reading “Food Glorious Food”
The Corset
Many years ago, back in the days where I had family members calling me Fatso!

Wednesday Wisdom

To Dance or Not to Dance? That is the Question!
As a teenager, I went clubbing every now and again, but I never became someone who wanted to visit nightclubs often. When I was around 18 I felt amazing in my short, black mini dress.

Twin Burger
Twin Burgers The duplicity of ease means it’s easy for me to get two of everything. I don’t need to lie about it, I just pick it up and buy it.
