The first day.

By -



So yesterday I told you guys how I was trying out a new way of thinking about food, improving my eating habits in an attempt to help my weight loss plateau. I feel like today has gone pretty well, so thought I'd share how it went with you guys! 

(P.S I know this is the third time round I've done this on my blog, I'm so sorry if you're bored!)

Breakfast. 
Small bowl of coco pops (I hadn't been healthy food shopping yet!) and a glass of water. 

Walk to work, shopping, walk back from work- did around 3,500 steps. 

Lunch.
4 cream crackers with butter, one slice of ham shredded across the four crackers, a handful of button mushrooms and some prawns. Lunch came to around 300 calories, which isn't bad at all! I also had 2 glasses of water. 

Went on a Pokemon walk with my sister for around 45 minutes, taking my steps up to just over 9,000. 

Dinner.
Pitta Pizzas- pitta bread with pizza topping sauce, some mozarella cheese, and three slices of pepperoni. This was accompanied with two spoonfuls of homemade potato salad and some normal salad which included lettuce leaves, pepper, cucumber and spring onion. I had a treat cup of fizzy drink as it was soooo hot and this had been in the fridge. 

A final walk to the shops that took my steps up to just shy of 10,000. I also started off doing Jillian Michaels Six Week Six Pack but didn't complete it as it was very dull! 


On reflection, I feel like it's been a far healthier day than normal for me! When I went shopping, I stocked up on vegetables, crackers, wraps, chicken strips and salad bits too, as well as some fruit, and currently my mum is preparing me some hard boiled eggs for me to have for brunch tomorrow- starting a shift at 12 is so awkward as it's over the lunch time period, so I'm going to try and eat well before work tomorrow. 

Do you think I'm doing pretty well? Do you think there's something vital I'm missing out on? Let me know!

Love from,
Florence Grace

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
