You’re Beautiful

You’re Beautiful Look into the mirror and stare deep into your eyes. See how beguilingly they are, how graceful they shine. Circle around the colour, hues different all stunning.

Independent Improvements

Independent Improvements Once upon a time, a time long, long ago. I needed advice, I needed to know what to do and when to do it? How to begin and why? All I found was skinny models inside magazines, wearing swimwear and posing with pieces of fruit between their lips. I asked friends and oneContinue reading “Independent Improvements”

Negative Comments

‘Don’t allow negative comments to hinder your progress.’ – Unique Fatso It has taken me years to block out the negative comments from people! My body is mine. My appearance is mine. Fat is mine. Cellulite is mine. Larger clothes, all mine. However, people from all different circles, like to comment. Why? So you don’tContinue reading “Negative Comments”

End of Me

End of Me For the past few months, I’ve been experiencing horrendous pain during menstruation.  I knew that my diet at the time (meat-based.) Was a massive contribution to Monthly Menstruation Madness and Period Pains. Which was the main reason why I switched to a vegetarian/almost vegan, plant-based diet.      That choice I madeContinue reading “End of Me”

Meaty Misconceptions

Preface (What happened when I ate meat) Several things occurred after I ate meat; stomach pains, chest pains, headaches, feeling sluggish, acne, bad period pains and a subconscious feeling that meat isn’t right for me. I observed many times, what it feels like to live without meat, for a few days to a few weeksContinue reading “Meaty Misconceptions”

Gym Membership: Subscribe to a New Body

Years ago, I joined Virgin Active, after being mocked and teased about my body. I signed up to a membership that was priced around £45 pcm. I figured that if I attend at least three times a week £45/ 4 / 3 =£3.75 per session! And I compared that to a box of fried chickenContinue reading “Gym Membership: Subscribe to a New Body”

The Story of Unique Fatso

Unique Fatso *Disclaimer, this was written a while ago. Foundation I can’t remember how old I was exactly. But I know I was young. A small booklet arrived with the daily post and was placed in the fruit-bowl by one of my family members. During breakfast, I picked it up and was looking through it,Continue reading “The Story of Unique Fatso”

Period Pains

During my most recent period, the pain that accompanied it was unbearable for around 48 hours. I experience pain during menstruation every month – however, this month it felt like someone had a set of diamond pincers. Pinching into my lower-abdomen every few minutes. I popped loads of pain-killers: paracetamol and ibuprofen. I used aContinue reading “Period Pains”

Family, Friends & Foxes

Family I’ve had cousins, aunts, uncles and even grandparents – Disrespect me by mocking my looks and my weight. I’ve grown up being told that I should look a certain way. Skinny, Skinner and oh yeah! skinny! Friends The cools kids liked me for being strong and able to fight those who tried me. ButContinue reading “Family, Friends & Foxes”

The Hold Up – Sports Bras

It has taken me months to locate a ‘high support,’ sportsbra. I’ve tried on so many from Adidas and Nike (hard to purchase my size) I must say the Adidas sports bras look amazing on the mannequins. They’re impossible to get on, some appear to have been designed by a man…no offence. Finally, I triedContinue reading “The Hold Up – Sports Bras”

Fat is Fat, let’s be factual.

I purchased a box of frozen Angus beef burgers, recently. I fried them one day and grilled the rest! The grilled version left behind all that from 1 burger. Here I saw my veins, my air-intake, my heartbeat, my life. All greased up and fattened up for my crave, for processed greasy foods. It willContinue reading “Fat is Fat, let’s be factual.”

Stretchmarks 😒 Love

Over the years I’ve noticed stretchmarks appearing all over my body. And last year, they started on my stomach.  Before I used to fear getting intimate with a partner, through fear that they’ll find my stretchmarks unattractive. Caused me to end relationships, even before they got going. Through fear, I hid my body behind layersContinue reading “Stretchmarks 😒 Love”
