Is It Ever Okay To Throw Food Away?

Is it ever okay to throw food away? I was raised to finish my meal, which was always whatever was shared out for me. Many different family members often told me, ‘don’t waste food, people are starving in…’      I remember eating everything until my serving was gone. Even though I was not hungry sometimes,Continue reading “Is It Ever Okay To Throw Food Away?”

Night Routine

Last night I realised I’ve created a night routine that works for me. Before, I used to eat late and wonder why I couldn’t sleep later on. I would toss and turn, then text and view – a plethora of nonsensical things available online. Imagine, I would lay in bed feeling exhausted but unable toContinue reading “Night Routine”

Shopping, shopping, stop!

Shopping, Shopping, Stop! I went shopping while hungry, I bought vegan pizza, spicy wedges, apple juice and mushrooms. I’m tired though. I got home and unpacked my shopping and saw I had bought, vegan pizza, spicy wedges, apple juice, mushrooms, pringles, bagels, coco-powder, hand-wash, cotton pads, curry powder, peppers and other things I don’t need.Continue reading “Shopping, shopping, stop!”

Long Days

Long days like this, long days like that, I stretch here and there. I wish I wasn’t. Long days at work, breed temptation to want to consume sugar. I need energy! I want biscuits. I have a sweet tea. But the energy is short-lived. The energy is short-lived. The weight gain is slowly creeping in.Continue reading “Long Days”

Sausage Rolls

Sausage Rolls Years ago, I used to enjoy feeling peckish, as it was a signal for me to visit Greggs and purchase a sausage roll x2. Feed myself and gorge on these cheap eats and real meats. I look back and accept I did that. I was lured by their definition of a bargain. ButContinue reading “Sausage Rolls”

Friday – Weigh Day

Friday – Weigh Day For many of you around the world, Friday is the day you weigh yourself to check if you’ve lost any weight? I don’t agree with this day! I find that by weighing yourself on the cusp of the weekend and finding out that you’ve either gained or not lost any weight;Continue reading “Friday – Weigh Day”

Temptations

Temptations They are all around me, and I’m often losing time dreaming about them. Chips and curry sauce! I love the taste, I won’t ever lie to you. The aroma lures me in, and I’m often weak! I give in and purchase a nice hot portion of chips, with curry sauce in a small pot.Continue reading “Temptations”

Body Parts

Body Parts I have one body, I have many parts. I dote on some parts and wish others were better looking. Why do I do this? Why do you do this? Why do we behave in this manner? Society consistently tells us, through voice, words and images that we should look a certain way. OnceContinue reading “Body Parts”

Why Plant-Based?

Why PlantBased? For the Animals Years ago, I was off work due to feeling ill. While in bed and when I owned a television, I clicked onto a link via Twitter. It took me to YouTube – A video of workers shoving metal tubes down the throats of geese, force-feeding them to make Foie Gras!Continue reading “Why Plant-Based?”

Tiger Tiger

Tiger TigerYears ago, I boarded a scale, comparing the results to a Health Weight Chart, which informs me I’m overweight. I know such charts are there to provide users with what may be deemed as factual information, but it doesn’t fill me with hope. It delivers anxiety to me, in bulk.What it tells me isContinue reading “Tiger Tiger”

Bean

A few months ago, I wrote about the bad pains I get, that is heightened during my monthly menstruation. After a horrible appointment with my GP and a subsequent complaint. I was booked in for an ultrasound last year. Which I became scared of and cancelled. Fast-forward to 2020, and I brave it and attendContinue reading “Bean”
