Love from, Florence Grace

As always, my first New Year's Resolution for 2017 was to lose weight/get fit. I always find it quite hard to talk about my personal relationship with my body and weight because I'm such a strong advocate of body positivity and I feel that by talking about dieting I'm going against everything I believe in. I think everyone should embrace the body they're in, as long as they're happy and healthy. Whilst I am definitely a lot happier and healthier than I used to be, I'm still not fully happy and healthy, and that's why I'm trying to lose weight. However, it's not just about the weight for me; I want to get fitter too! Just because it would be nice to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath, you know? Anyway. Whenever I lose weight, I change my eating habits accordingly and eat a lot more 'good' food and a lot less 'bad' food (although I do still indulge in treats like pizza and crisps every now and again!) but the one thing...

I am used to online hate. When I was younger, I had it all the time via Twitter. When I joined Tumblr, it came in thick and fast (anonymously, of course). When I signed up to Curious Cat about a month ago, it started up again. And its cool you know, it's always stupid things like "your blog is so embarrassing lol" or messages riddled with spelling errors and grammatical mistakes and I honestly just couldn't care less. I have quite thick skin and it just goes over my head. You want to sit there and anonymously insult every blog post- indicating that you're reading  every blog post- then that's fine by me. You do you, boo.  But last night I got a message that I just couldn't not comment on. Last night someone anonymously told me "you couldn't be a model lol".  Shit man. I almost couldn't believe what I was reading. Someone was actually telling me, a size 12, chubby cheeked, snub nose girl that she couldn't be a model. I m...

It's now been just over a week since I was meant to take the first pill of my next pack and decided not to, and that makes it just over two weeks since I've had a contraceptive pill in my system- the longest time without one since I was 15! While I was worried about how weaning myself off of the contraceptive pill would affect me, it's been a pretty pleasant journey so far. The biggest and most noticable change so far has been my weight loss. I knew it was going to happen, as every one had said it was the main thing that they experienced, but I have already loss an inch from around my waist and definitely look and feel less bloated. I've also noticed I feel a lot better within myself. Me and my sister are having hysterical nights together every night where we can't stop laughing, I'm feeling happier generally and a lot less stressed, which I didn't even think would happen as I didn't even feel particularly bad before? I don't really ...

Weight is something I struggle with a lot . If you are a regular reader of my blog, or even just my social media, you'll know my relationship with food and my weight is a constant battle and I have good days and bad days and some really  bad days.  Recently, I've been losing weight. As always, it's been fluctuating a lot but I've been losing, and any loss is a loss which is obviously way better than a gain in my case. However, while I haven't noticed much weight change myself, other people have been commenting over the last few weeks over my weight loss and change in body shape, which has obviously made me feel far happier with myself and a lot more confident.  Which is why today, I wanted to talk to you guys about clothes. More specifically, the sizes of clothes.  I can confidently say I am a size 12. On good days, I am a size 10. On bad days (aka when I'm in H & M) I can sometimes be a 14. *Note I say bad day: bad for me as that's bi...
