I was nervous! But I did it. I went for a short run! 😍
Christmas Run – COMPLETE
Christmas Day Running
Christmas Day Running
It’s Christmas Day – Today marks a day that many people around the world will be opening gifts and stuffing their faces with too much food.
I’m off for a morning run – haven’t been out running in a while. I’m nervous!
It’s starting over again. But shyness won’t allow me to achieve my goal. Therefore, I must get up and go and welcome my fears. Hug them with delight and invite them back for another day.
This will be a new tradition! To get up and go running…
Running up the mountain, finding lbs as I forge my way through the unknown.
I hope you all have a wonderful day today.
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’
Twas The Night Before Christmas
I baked a brownie.
I had a 2hr nap and delivered a tin of shortbread biscuits to some wonderful people. I bought some apple juice and thought about what it is that tomorrow will bring?
Guess what?
‘What Unique?’
I’m going for a run in the morning 😊
I decided all I want to do is, eat bagels for breakfast, with a serving of orange juice. Have a deluxe bubble-bath and treat myself to a facial, manicure and pedicure.
Visit family, drink Rosé wine (mixed with apple juice inevitably.) For starters, I’m having houmous with salad.
Dinner, vegan roast by Linda McCartney (well I think it’s vegan) it’s definitely vegetarian! I’m having that with roast potatoes, rice, a mountain of sprouts and vegan gravy! Yum.
For pudding, apple pie!
Followed by more wine.
Somewhere in between the eating, I’ll be trying to watch Oliver Twist! I love Dickins during the festive period.
Sprouts will be my primary form of indulgence, followed by a well-needed serving of wine. It’s quite interesting, tomorrow will mark my 1st #MeatFree Christmas 😊 Going meat-free, is the gift that keeps on giving.
A Christmas Carol is another Dickins favourite!
Enjoy the festive season, over-indulge on vegetables, stay-hydrated (with water) and wine. And remember to relax. I think many of us (including myself) forget that our next heartbeat isn’t a guarantee. Your beat could stop within the next 5 minutes.
Enjoy your life more…Your life is Unique

Labels! I am?
Labels! I am?
I ordered Chinese food last week, egg-less fried rice, chips and curry sauce in a tray, vegetarian spring rolls. I had a busy week and was up late completing a few creative pieces.
It arrived late.
I opened the packaging and discovered that it was egg-fried rice…I was annoyed, deeply annoyed. But I didn’t call them up and complain, I ate it.
Afterwards, I felt guilty and I messaged one of my friends via WhatsApp. I explained to him what had happened, and he recommended that I share this with you.
It got me thinking, many of affix a label to ourselves. The name I placed against my way of eating.
I thought about how terrible I felt about consuming that portion of food – However, I couldn’t punish myself permanently over it. And I’m sharing this, as I hope no one else is beating themselves up over a blip.
I was raised on the notion that meat & dairy are the core foods in our meals. I gave up meat a few months ago, and meat is something I know for sure I will never eat again. My title changed to Vegetarian. (I don’t consume cows’ milk or cows’ butter. But I did use eggs from time to time, mainly for baking.) I then felt I was ready to give up the use of eggs and I changed my title to Vegan.
Then I slipped up and ate egg in the meal that was delivered. What label is more fitting now? Flexigan? Flexible-vegan? Vegetarian? What? It’s all a bit of a headache.
I am an individual who consumes plant-based meals.
I am honest with myself. I’m never going to post-up just for the sake of it, I’ll always be true to myself and honest to you all.
The purpose of this post is to remind you all that none of us are perfect and I doubt I’m the only person to trip up at the start of a Vegan life. I’m not going to dwell over it, life goes on and we all make mistakes. It’s about how you own it afterwards.
Labels? I am?
A Plant-based Promoter
A Plant-powered Writer
I am, a Ditsy Day-dreamer who loves oat-milk and pictures of ducks.
My weight loss journey isn’t without the pitfalls. It’s about how I embrace them and move forward. Dwelling is negative energy – negative energy is still energy. Let us not waste energy on negative thoughts. Self-punishment and self-blame.
Shit happens.
Life goes on.
Don’t feel pinned to a title, it’s just that, a title!
You are you, and you are UNIQUE

I would like to take a moment to share with you some fond memories of our dear friend Daisy. She was friendly, adorable and more importantly, her heart was real.
Daisy loved the calf she bore, and pain consumed her thereafter. For we ripped her baby from her teat and strained her milk forever, and ever and?
You bought Daisy!
A few lbs for £6. Bargain, right? Done! DEAL!
Remember your school trip to the farm, where Daisy greeted you at the fence. Her family moo’d at you, and you were happy. Elated, this beautiful animal is delighted to meet you. Remember when you reached through the wooden fence and stroked her? You felt like a hero and she felt appreciated.
You bought a piece of Daisy!
Oh! What are you making?
Our dear friend of the earth, Daisy was dragged from her caged milking section to the slaughterhouse. She was beaten and kicked by abusive people. Her tail was yanked, she was prodded with a metal rod. Her ears were sore from the grinding noises in the room she was being forced to enter. Painful from all the shouting from the abusers – I can’t use the term workers. That is not work, it’s abuse.
You visited a shop and bought a piece of Daisy!
Yeah. You said you’re cooking for the family.
Daisy was taken away from her mother the moment she was born. Subsequently having her calves stolen from her. Her heart was real.
You visited a shop and bought a piece of Daisy, that was wrapped in plastic.
You now call her beef. And say, ‘I bought some beef today.’
Correct yourself, ‘I bought some Daisy today.’
Her body, butchered, packed, sold and a piece bought by you.
We have gathered here today to remember Daisy.
Part of her back was minced and, part of that is now in your fridge. The other part is still on the shelves in the shop you like to visit.
You made a family meal.
We are gathered here today to bid farewell to Daisy, who we feel is with us in spirit. Part of her is in pieces in the stomachs of those that are ignorant.
Daisy love, my Daisy love. We need you, oh! How we need you.
Until we have no earth left to ruin.
Naked

Some mornings I wake up and begin my day by playing relaxing tunes – purely instrumental. I have a hot shower and pamper myself with a homemade body scrub (which is a mix of olive oil and brown sugar.)
Then I wrap myself in a warmed towel, enter my bedroom and pat myself dry.
I then select five crystals, lay on my bed and place the crystals on my body, starting from my navel up to my forehead. I close my eyes and listen to each note from the instrumental sounds, that help me to relax and unwind.
It’s not easy to meditate – to meditate is to focus one’s mind for a while, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation.
I focus on clearing my thoughts, which is quite hard to accomplish as an avid over-thinker. I take one thought at a time, ‘and push them back for a period in time.’ I tell myself that it’s ‘okay’ to relax and enjoy this time to myself.
That it’s fine to leave my phone turned off/left on flight-mode for a moment. That it’s completely acceptable to do absolutely nothing and reap the benefits of time alone. Quiet time, me time.
My crystals help me to relax, as I trust the connections I have with them. They help me to relax and affirm that my life is present. I’m responsible for my own happiness and if clearing my thoughts for 20 minutes helps, then that is what I shall continue to do.
Why choose to meditate naked?
Because it is me in my rawest form, on display to our universe. No clothing, no lipstick, just the natural fragrance of olive oil. With natural crystals resting over my body. It makes me feel amazing!
I first tried meditation a few years ago, yoga offered a session right after the yoga class. I remember she asked us all to get into a comfortable position and picture a white pathway, that leads to the edge of the sea. The weather is warm, and the sky is clear…I remember waking up and feeling free! I had nothing weighing down my mind, I felt a sense of happiness – I had been sceptical about it, thinking it’s weird to do things like that. I thought staying behind for a session on meditation would be pointless.
I’m happy I stayed and experienced meditation!
From then I meditated infrequently, I’ll be honest, I sometimes went weeks without doing it, as I wanted to see if it really had any kind of impact on my life? I wanted to reaffirm that this feeling I’m feeling after meditation is real? It’s abundant in existence within my life?
Now I meditate a few times throughout the week, I trust myself to be able to relax and clear my thoughts. Meditating works for me.
Some of you may have tried meditation before and not felt anything from it. Everything isn’t for everyone. However, I believe that practising meditation a few times (and not just once) will allow you to reach an informed conclusion, as to whether this works for you.

Top Tips this December
Hello December
99p Is It Worth It?
99P Is It Worth It?
Before
A few years ago, I used to visit McDonald’s and purchase two double cheese-burgers, two portions of fries and sometimes two apple pies. I would always ask the Cashier to place them into two separate bags and smile while saying, ‘I’m getting lunch today for a friend.’
99p was the price of everything, a mere 99 pennies each.
I would then start eating the fries as I exit the fast food place and licking the salt off the tips of my fingers. Often, I would find myself heading home and wondering where to dispose of the evidence I’ve devoured two burgers, fries and apple-pies. I would scan the streets for a bin, or wonder if I stash the wrapping in my pockets, whether someone would notice the lingering McDonalds smell? Wondering if they would smell the remnants of the gherkins on my breath or salt on my lips?
When dinner was ready, I would eat that too and convince myself that the bag of doubles earlier was like having a biscuit, a couple of biscuits. And I’ll restart my diet again tomorrow.
99p ‘deals’ are all around us. They call you in and convince you, it’s cheap, so it’s okay!
You convince yourself that you haven’t wasted any money and you’ll run the junk off in no time.
99p Snack
99p Pre-dinner filler
99p treat
99p Saver menu
99p for stomach upset
99p to turn your body into a cemetery
99p to eat a slice of an animal corpse
Today
I’m vegan.
I chose health.
I chose me.
Today I visit Marks & Spencer and purchase a bunch of bananas for 99p
(There’s so much you can make with bananas)
I buy wholefoods:
- Potatoes
- Cucumber
- Peppers
- Onions
- Chestnut Mushrooms
- Garden Peas
- Lettuce
- White Cabbage
- Spinach
- Carrots
- Plant-based cheese
- Tomatoes
- Kale
My stomach implores me to keep buying these delights out earth blesses us with. My body is now a temple of health, gone are the days my body holds funerals for chunks of animal flesh. I chose myself over the convenience of filling an empty void. Filling it for a portion of change 99p, to eat an animal, no real purpose.
My body appreciates the goodness I now fill it with.
My hair health has improved immensely, my skin is clearer, and most importantly I’m happy.
The meals and snacks I prepare, I share with family and friends, and they take inspiration from this.
Some have become vegetarian, some have cut down on meat and others are still looking into this way of eating. (This is your journey)
No longer am I contributing the mindless killing of animals, for a place on my plate.
I appeal to you all to #GoVegan today!
I ask you all to view the videos by PETA and see precisely how these animals come to form part of your frequent meal consumption.
Meat is NOT food.
99p is it worth it? NO!
I will never eat meat again – I say this and write this with confidence ‘I will never revert back to meat-eating.’

And just like that, I’ve finished.
Mind Free
Mind Free
Earlier this week, I felt stifled with my life.
Everyone inside and out just taking up space it was impossible to breathe. I find that when I can’t think straight, I prefer to be alone – even when people are just trying to help and offer advice.
I’m highly indecisive when put on the spot, and as an over-thinker, my thoughts often consume the present moment, and I feel the urge to step away. And so I do…I end any kind of relationship because I feel undeserving when my mind is full.
I don’t mean to push people away…My body felt tense, and it didn’t help to be on my period. I am sensitive as fuck on my period – which can be both pleasure and pain. I’ll cry at an image of a duckling, or I’ll wince at the cramps that pinch by the minute, and seem to remain despondent to the soft gel, fast-acting ibuprofen I’ve taken. And I felt like, by closing off and effectively shutting down conversations, it would mean I could relax and finally have some time for myself.
However, I missed them…I got back in touch and apologised – It wasn’t a straightforward apology. As an over-thinker, I have the uncanny ability to think a lot in a short space of time, it was a matter of days before I realised I had made a mistake. I disconnected my connection – I have friends, but this particular friend I have a connection with.
I thought at the time that I needed to walk away, I didn’t feel I could be a good friend. I was self-deprecating. Because, well it’s too deep to explain – trust that I realised I made a wrong decision.
I then had two days to myself, to think and resolve matters – it was an utter delight!
I reviewed everything and came to the conclusion that I need to stop running away from things that seem impossible or scary. I simply need to hold my head and own it, whatever it is!
Our lives were never sketched out to be the definition of perfect! We were never placed here to be drowned in happiness. Shit happens, and it’s shitty, but you have to own it. (That’s a pretty shit analogy, I know.)
No one in this universe or any other universe will live their life where every single second is filled with joy, happiness and an abundance in love.
Yesterday, I stopped running from that fear. I turned around and ran towards it.
I have faith in myself that I have made the right decision, and I will harvest fruits.
Going forward, when I need space, I’m just going to take it!
I’m never going to push anyone away again, I’m merely going to take a couple of days and think about the situation, and find amicable solutions.
The freedom of thoughts came when I let the walls down and stop running.
Imagination can be good and evil, remember to look at the whole picture and work on the cause first! The symptoms will either be alleviated or cured completely.
*Special thank you to my avocado, you mean the world to me…

Don’t Hurt Yourself
Don’t Hurt Yourself
The days you’re running late and convince yourself there’s not enough time to make breakfast.
The days you head out to work, and you’re hungry, so you visit Greggs, or some café and purchase a hot drink and a pastry. Commence workaround 09:00, and by 10:00 you’re hungry!
You’re hungry because you hadn’t made time for breakfast, you thought you could substitute your hunger with an overpriced refined flour sweet treat.
A treat made with your bank-balance in mind and that loose change that loiters in your pocket.
Take a moment to think about this: How long does it take to prep ‘over-night oats’ before you go to bed?
How much time does it take to prepare peanut-butter on toast?
How long does it take to blitz a pre-portion of fruit for a smoothie?
How much time is expelled having a few spoons of Alpro, topped with a sprinkle of seeds?
Back to 10:00am you’re hungry, so you make a cuppa tea and chow down on the treats being shared around the office.
Don’t Hurt Yourself
You’ll feel awful afterwards.
You’ll swell with sweet regret.
Always, make time to make breakfast and enjoy it!
10-15 minutes isn’t being selfish, it’s about choosing health.
I skipped breakfast on Monday the 18th of November 2019, I told myself I didn’t have enough time…
Excuses like that, slow you down.
I was only lying to myself.

Why Vegan?
Currently, I’m a happy Vegetarian (although 80% of my food consumption is plant-based/vegan)
However, I see room for improvement.
Our world is dying by the second, and so many species have become extinct or on the verge of extinction. Meat and Dairy consumption are the leading causes of the issues we keep adding to.
I want everyone to adopt a plant-based diet and to think about precisely what they are doing.
Your body is your capsule that is linked to our earth…Why decorate the outside of your body and take pride in everything external. But at the same time, you fill your body with the corpses of dead animals.
Adopting a plant-based diet is not only the best idea for you and your family, but also for this world we all share and reside within.
#ChooseHealth – For yourself.
#ChooseHealth – For your loved ones.
#ChooseHealth – For your environment.
#ChooseHealth – For the world we share.

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 one told me, ‘Have polos’ and water! The Polo’s gives you energy and the water keeps you hydrated and has zero calories.’
I asked everyone and consulted everything but myself.
Years later, I asked myself, ‘what works best for me?’
- NO MEAT: Completely removed meat from my diet, it’s not right that we stop a heartbeat, to cook life and eat its death. I wish I broke out of the delusion earlier in life.
- Shop wholefoods: I’m a proud vegetarian and removed meat from my life altogether, a few months ago. (I don’t consume dairy-milk, dairy-cheese or dairy-butter. I do currently use eggs when baking.) My food cupboards are filled with: Wholemeal Pasta, Brown-rice, Wholemeal-flour, wholemeal-noodles, pink-Himalayan salt, Sesame Seeds, Pumpkin-seeds, Chickpeas, Green lentils, Red lentils, Quinoa, Gungo Peas, Olive oil, Sunflower Oil, Sunflower Seeds, Flaxseeds, Sesame Seed Oil, Oats, Honey. Weekly: I purchase fresh fruits and vegetables organic where possible – Potatoes, Carrots, Mushrooms, Onions, Pumpkin, Plantain, Peppers, Spinach and Plant-based yoghurt. Almost vegan
- Drink Pure: I now carry a glass bottle of water around, every time I leave out. Water with a few drops of lemon juice added, or lime. I almost drink smoothies from time to time, they contain Pineapple, Kale, Spinach, Cucumber, blended with apple juice.
- Body Beauty: I make my own body-scrubs, this is to ensure I know what’s inside. I also use charcoal toothpaste, charcoal mouth wash and vegan lip balm.
- Limit Processed Foods: – It’s nice to see meat alternatives out there, such as vegan sausages etc. However, my body prefers to eat whole foods that have been cooked from scratch. It should be noted that meat-based processed foods are far worse than any vegan/vegetarian based processed food.
- Running: I schedule in the running two mornings per week. I wish it were more, but working full-time and studying part-time, means I barely have any time to do much else. So I schedule in the weekly running to keep my mind healthy.
- Cycling: Once a week, I have this scheduled in for – unfortunately, I don’t always get the opportunity to cycle.
- Daily Affirmations: I believe it is an opportunity to remind myself of the things I’m good at, the traits I possess. It is essential to remember how far I have come. The first step was the hardest, but I made it I stepped up.
- Silence: Every time I started something ‘new’ and updated friends about it, I stopped almost immediately after the words left my mouth. I smiled about it and felt so chuffed and welcomed the beautiful compliments that followed. Be silent about your weight loss journey, just get on with it. If people notice your changes and want tips, then go ahead and share. But don’t openly disclose your experience.
- Enjoy: My weight loss journey has been exciting and joyous! I’m learning so much about nutrition and fitness. Discovering new recipes and enhancing existing ones. Preparing plant-based meals for family and sharing their enjoyment. And LOSING WEIGHT! To date I’ve lost 12lbs, and that has been a hard feat.
Future goals:
I hope to have more time to post on my blog and share my experience with all of you on the same journey.
I’ve fully embraced my plant-based diet, and it is a diet I LOVE wholeheartedly!
I aim to stick to my fitness plan, especially with cycling more as cycling makes me feel like Wonder Woman – I feel confident, powerful, peaceful and most importantly in love with myself.
If I found a blog like this when I began searching years ago, I would’ve appreciated reading honest advice. Rather than being subjected to visual abuse – subliminal enforcing messages on what I should look like. Those images have been seen worldwide and have influenced people around me, to the point where conversations were littered with ignorance, ‘you should be a size 10 Unique.’
Special thanks to all my readers.
I implore you to add your own improvements in the comment section – and remember, you are important!

Banana Loaf Recipe – Unique Fatso
Ingredients
- 4 Very ripe bananas
- 110g of soft light brown sugar (I use muscovado sugar)
- 2 large eggs
- 120ml/ ½ Cup of sunflower oil
- 225g/ 1 ½ Cup of plain flour
- 1 tsp of bicarbonate of (baking) soda
- Golden flaxseeds (I’ve also used pumpkin seeds, and that was delightful.)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan) and line a loaf tin with non-stick baking paper.
- Mash the bananas roughly with a fork (I like to mash them 2 into small pieces, then add the 3rd banana and mash it lightly, so it has bigger chunks in the mix.)
- Add the sugar, eggs and oil, then whisk together (use an electric whisk if possible.)
- Next, you must sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda into the bowl.
- Scrape the mixture into the loaf tin.
- Slice the remaining banana and place on the top of your mixture. Now sprinkle a pinch of golden flaxseeds over the top.
- and bake for 55 minutes (I tend to set a timer once I’ve placed it into the oven.) When you remove your loaf, be sure to insert a skewer or knife down the middle – to ensure that it has baked through.)
- Transfer your loaf to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
Today’s Tips – 16th October
Missed Marathon
Photo credit: Unsplash
The day of the ½ Marathon.
I had to withdraw, due to coming down with a dreadful cold, days before the event. I felt despondent, like a failure before failing.
I even talked myself into attending but only walking through, rather than anything more strenuous. My mind wanted to participate, but my body screamed NO!
Pains all over, pain from my core.
I was too hot most of the time, I lay in bed, sweat upon sweat.
I drank lemon water all the time and hoped I would be cured instantly – I know, hope is a beautiful thing when you’re unwell.
I increased dosages of vitamin C supplements and oranges, I ate oranges daily.
I cried a few times, cried myself to sleep, cried in the shower and cried at the fact that I knew I needed to rest up and recover.
3 days away from the starting time, I contacted the event organisers advising I’m too ill to join. They didn’t care, only advised I’ll just have to withdraw from the run. With no refund permitted.
2 days away from my waves gathering at the starting line, I hide beneath my duvet and ‘hope’ that when I emerge, I’m fit and well enough to participate.
1 day away from the buzz and celebration with strangers, I confide in a friend that I won’t be able to join the run. I feel awful, and I’m sad.
On the morning of the race, I wept as the rain came down.
I hoped they would reschedule due to the wet weather – naive thinking I know, running in the rain is exhilarating and brave.
I cried a little more and drifted off to sleep…
Hours later, I woke up coughing, and my nose stuffier than before. My forehead was sweaty, and the rain outside was slowing down.
I sat up slowly and experienced slight dizziness. Took me a while but I made it into the kitchen and poured a glass of apple juice, added ice and sat down, sipping it.
I placed my glass down and rest my head upon my hands which felt clammy and weak. I stayed in that position for around 4 minutes, before returning to my bed.
I pulled the covers over my head and faded back into the land of nod.
Missed
Sometimes in life, you will encounter challenges, that require you to step down, step back or step aside. It’s essential that you listen to your body and you rest when you need to.
Yes, I felt awful over the weekend for missing out on participating, and I moaned and cried about the fact.
However, had I attended my cold would be far worse, and my recovery time would have increased drastically. There is also a high chance that I would have dropped out during the event.
Stay indoors wasn’t what I wanted to do, however, it was vital that I did. And I’m happy that I did.
Missing out an event when you need to, is perfectly alright to do. Don’t dwell over it like I did, as that doesn’t aid your recovery.
Today I’m feeling slightly better, I still have a cold, but it’s clear that’s fading away.
Remember, the most important person on your weight-loss journey is YOU!
Meaning YOU need to think about YOU and only YOU in any given situation.
