My Plant-Based Life
The UK has re-entered a national lockdown – Lockdown 3.0.
I’ll be honest, I was disheartened at this news. But I understand that this needed to be implemented, for the sake of life and death.
During the first two lockdowns and the high tier restrictions, I found it difficult to find motivation. I knew that I needed/wanted to work out and keep my fitness levels up. But I found it extremely difficult to get up and workout.
I guess one could argue that may have been a mixture of laziness and lack of motivation? Either way, I wasn’t exercising as much as I could.
This lockdown has inspired me to create and share a free pdf download. ‘Lockdown Fitness Bingo!’
You may print it off and stick it to your fridge or somewhere you’ll see it every day.
You’ll notice that I’ve not specified duration, intensity or days for you to complete this. I feel you can add your twist and workout at your own pace.
I’ll be posting about my completed exercises on Instagram @UniqueFatso (Link available within the social tab.)
Live a healthy life.
Love

Before
New Year’s Eve would be indoors with my close family members. I would put 50 mini meat-based sausage rolls, 30 mini cheese and onion puff pastry balls onto serving platters. I would even have the following in bowls:
Then I would join in with placing an order for takeaway. Preference would be a meat feast pizza, with garlic bread and cheese and extra pizza, just in case.
The irony was that my resolutions back then were to eat healthy, workout and lose weight. And that the junk food I was about to consume, would be the last before the new year begins. It’s like I had memory-loss or something? Because I would eat this crap way beyond the transition into the new year.
This habit took over my time, as I continued the cycle of eating meat, junk food and surely ‘treats!’
Last Night
I spent the evening with my support bubble and we completed the following:
We then burnt those pieces of paper and prepared for 2021 in the most relaxing way I’ve ever experienced.
We all returned into the warmth and sang our way into 2021, hugs and appreciation all around.
December 31st 2020, will go down as the best New Years Eve celebration, I’ve ever had!
2021
Today is the 1st of January 2021 and I must confess, I’m feeling elated. I feel alive and unapologetic for being my authentic self.
I trust in our universe wholeheartedly and I promise myself, that I won’t spend another year scoffing plates of bad foods. I’m going to nourish my mind, body and soul. Taking time to understand my needs, wants and desires. Then building my mindset up to become impregnable against negative vibes.
Healthy New Year!

Reflections
This time a year ago, I was going through a depressive state – the pain wouldn’t release me from its grasp. I was barely trying to free myself, instead, I was caught up in a negative cycle of nothingness. The despair of having my emotions dragged through mountains of shit and toxic people infecting me with their poisons.
I left 2019 on a sour note.
2020
This year started weakly and infected with the leftovers of a meaty corpse.
The stale meat lingering around like the bullshit left along the sides of scenic settings.
Then came Rona!
Around June, I found myself and set my spirit free! Embracing my existence as a whole and not in fragmented elements. I stopped trying to fit in with the narrative of others! Which was the moment things started to make sense.
This year I’ve lost 2 STONES! Which is amazing, to say the least. Yes, I had hoped to lose more but I’m happy I’ve lost and not gained this year.
2020 has been an exceptional year of personal growth.
Before we eat/drink our way into 2021, I wanted to take a moment to extend my appreciation to all my followers, subscribers, random viewers and surely friends of our universe.
I’ll always value you.
2021
I’ll continue to share my plant-based life with you all. I hope to include more fitness, food and of course ways to incorporate a positive mindset. I aim to help support those of you trying to lose weight!
If even one of my posts inspires you, then I’m proud I’ve helped, even if it was a little nudge in the right direction.
Live a healthy life.

Today
Is a day that many people around the world will spend alone. For a vast array of reasons a recent one being this global pandemic. The UK Government imposed ‘last minute,’ rules around the festive period. Which means that today, at this very second, someone is home alone.
See the Positives
This year has been a stressful year for everyone. Being able to spend a few days with family and friends, were what many people were looking forward to. #ChristmasIsCancelled
I know it’s so easy to conjure up negative thoughts, develop bad habits and form negative connotations about this day/festive period.
I would like you to take a moment and visualise the amount of energy your generating to do that? It’s a lot! I know!
Now, try your best to highlight the positives of spending time alone. Below, I’ve made a list of my personal favourites:
I’m sure if you take a moment, you’ll find something that you know you’ll love to do today.
Make this Christmas be all about you – the positives!

Overeating during the festive period.
When I was a meat-eater, throughout the festive period, I used to go wild with over-eating. I was immersed into those succulent phrases, ‘It’s fine, It’s Christmas!’ and ’Everyone gains a few more pounds during the winter.’
I admit I loved hearing those sweet sounds, they formed reassurances to my mind. Constantly letting me know that it’s fine to eat and eat and eat. Which was exactly what I did.
Today, I wonder why we consume so much? Why the notion of gluttony? Is acceptable during the winter but not the spring? Why it’s acceptable to have extra helpings and fill our bodies until we are fit to burst? Why one plate for dinner isn’t enough and we feel the need to push one another to eat even more? Why do many of us drink until we throw up?
The winter season is strange like we use it as an excuse to be greedy. Like we stamp it in our diaries as a justification to over-indulge.
Back then I would begin (additional) over-eating from early November, ever-increasing over the period leading up to the festivities. And yes! You rightly guessed, everything I was swallowing was either deep-fried in fat or smothered in butter! Many of the cakes I scoffed without a thought to share, were boosted with whipped cream and devoured with all my selfish thoughts in mind.
Support
Today I’m not as greedy!
All my meals derive from plants and the majority are healthy and enjoyable. My family support my health journey by preparing plant-based meals when I visit. Back then I was ignorant to the knowledge and wisdom I’ve developed over the years.
Today I share with you a few tips to navigate through this period of festivities:
I know too well the ideas drenched in sugar, in the disguise of ‘something good!’ Society pushes into our ears, like the sweet sounds of the tweets of a newborn bird.
Please remember! This festive season will be healthier, as you’ll make healthier decisions and implement better practices.
You have the mental strength and capacity to stick to ‘living a healthy life.’
You can make better choices and benefit from a plant-based diet.
The festive season does not need to remain as an excuse you gained weight. Make it a reason to enhance your health journey.
You will accomplish all your health goals – stay focused!

I know that 2020 has been a difficult year, one that has affected many nutritional and fitness goals. I’ve infrequently teetered on the edge of over-eating or given into temptation and consumed too much food.

I value your support and I hope that 2021 brings even more posts for all to enjoy.
Once again, thank you all!

Why do we try and try to fit into the narrative of stories told by others?
Why do we give so much to those that never give anything back?
Why do we change our preferences to make it fit with the other person?
What I’m saying is, why do we not believe in ourselves enough to be ourself?
What do we gain by suppressing our authentic self?
What do we need to remind us that we are unique, as we are!
We do not need to change to fit into anyone’s ideal narrative.
Write your own story.
Manifest your reality.
Live your best life.
There is no special antidote for a better life.
You must put in the work.
You must eat healthy to become healthier.
You must workout to become fitter.
You must embrace a positive mindset to recognise how valuable you are.
I’m Unique Fatso,
I have stretch marks on my waist.
I have cellulite on my thighs.
I’m clinically overweight.
Visually, I’m whatever the beholders’ eyes perceive. One person may find me utterly irresistible, another may find me utterly disgusting.
I’m HUMAN!
My heart currently beats, your heart currently beats, we are alive!
Don’t allow the negative energy from others throw your off course.
Don’t allow ignorant comments to prevent you from achieving all your goals.
Don’t allow the poor choices of others to hold you back.
Remember:
‘There is only one version of you in existence in our entire universe.’ – Unique Fatso

Before
I had no interest in skincare before, I mean I just wanted to know what I would be elating for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks.
My skin was breaking out in spots, unsightly pimples and through constant popping meant a plethora of scars. While I never like seeing and feeling them on my face, I did nothing to get rid of them.
I wasn’t a fan of looking into mirrors as I was disgusted with the way I looked, so naturally, skincare wasn’t at the forefront of my mind. Food was.
Currently
During the summer I purchased some products from a vegan skincare range. I had been using it for a while and noticed slight changes. Positives. Although, I found that after a few months of use, the effects didn’t last. I’m not sure if that was down to the products or a dip in the food I was eating?
Lately, I’ve felt the effects of the weather changes on my skin, the cold weather drying out the last drop of moisture on my face. So I sought to look into skincare and see what I could do to improve on the health of my skin.
I lather L’Oréal Pure Clay Detox Mask on my face once a week.
I massage L’Oréal Hydra Genius Hyaluronic Acid & Aloe Liquid Hydrating Moisturiser over my face every morning/evening.
I wake up/go to sleep feeling pampered. My skin feels supple and my confidence grows each day.
Forward
The way forward is to listen to my skin and nourish it, with what it needs to glow.
Head to toe.
