I thought I had posted an update for weigh in #45 – i.e. my pre-Christmas-hoping-to-lose-enough-to-stay-above-3-stone-loss-update – but it seems not! Well I can’t quite remember that far back anyway, though I will give the stats update at the end as usual. I must have been pretty good though as I had a 2lb loss giving me 2.5lb to play with, to stay above 3st loss. After my pre-Christmas weigh in I wasn’t actually too bad, then starting on Christmas Eve it just all went out the window. I’m not going to beat around the bush, I was an absolute pig. …
When you just can’t do it | Depression
It’s been months. Months since I felt black like this. I suppose life can be described in a spectrum of colours, and people will almost always generally know how you are feeling. And right now I am feeling black. Like a black hole of despair. Despair. Despair at myself. At life. At everything. You know when you consider the worst possible thing that could happen.

Book Giveaway: The Rabbit Who Wants To Fall Asleep (CLOSED)
If you are a regular reader of this blog then you will know that we have had major problems with Jacob’s bed time routine in the past and though it has improved, we still have a great deal of trouble sometimes and he delays it as much as possible.

They do have a staggered bed time; Noah goes half an hour earlier than Jacob – one of the reasons for this was so that Jacob had …
Noah at 1 year 10 months old
So a new year and it’s time for another Noah update; I suppose this year I should try and make a blogging resolution to actually keep up with them for both boys! I cannot believe he will be two this year; very soon, in fact! He is really growing up into a proper little boy now and is becoming more and more like his brother every day, though I’m not sure if that’s a totally good thing or a totally bad thing; maybe just a mixture of the two. He definitely has an ultra fiery personality though, much worse than …
A year in reflection | 2015
The year of 2015 ended up being a really busy, eventful year for us. At the beginning of the year I had decided I’d had enough of being fat & unhealthy and I just didn’t have the motivation to lose weight on my own, so even though I was dealing with quite bad anxiety at the time but inspired my friend who shared her story over on the blog last summer, I headed to my local Slimming World group and have routinely shared my progress. I can honestly say that it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. In …
