About Me part 1 & 2

Part 2:

So it felt like I needed to update the ‘about me’ aspect of this blog.

I thought long and hard about deleting the old bio, but actually it seemed sad to, as that was me then… and its nice to see over time how we change.

So who am I now?

Well I am still the same person but may less spikey at the edges. It is hard to define yourself in words but I can say there is something about me that seems a little softer that the bio written only a few years ago.

Firstly I’m the country outdoors type, I enjoy clay shooting and tweed is a favourite fabric of mine, I like the outdoors life and would love to someday be partly self sufficient with my own smallholding. The buzz and pace of city life doesn’t hold my attention anymore, neither do nights out, and hangovers. I realise I generally like simple things in life (though sadly often the refined simple things). I am more conscious about waste and the environment and enjoy reusing and making my own things.

I am still a self confessed workaholic, for those of you who may not be aware I work as a therapist both in full time work and private practice and I am fascinated as to how we think and how this affects our behaviours.

I have slowly become a bit of a house proud clean freak which I actually enjoy, a sense of order in the house brings order for the mind for me.

I am also in a longer term relationship now so expect some trials an tribulations around that, on living together and also dealing with two young children from my partner’s previous relationship.

Oh and the big thing for me? making a big decision about my weight. I have posted before about binge eating and struggling with food, I have finally decided to book to have a gastric sleeve in July 2020 so I welcome you to experience the positives and difficulties in that journey to.

I sometimes think this blog should have a focus, a selling point to you the reader as it were, but that feels false, so I welcome you to learn about my journey through life, its trials and tribulations, my experiences post surgery, and some of the little treats and purchases I make along the way.

Part 1:

Hey,

Firstly I’m not going to tell you who I am…  it doesn’t really matter who I am, what I will introduce you to is what I’m like and what I do.

In today’s society we are under pressure girls, don’t lie you know it too. The pressure to be successful, beautiful, a goddess in the kitchen and a minx in the bedroom, to be independent, but to settle down, to be married and have kids but still have an impossibly full social life full of cocktails, shoes and impeccably blow dried hair.

I know, I know, its impossible to have it all… but seriously I’m a ‘have your cake and eat it’ girl I want all of those things and I want to work damn hard to get as close as I can to it!

So let me introduce you to me… I’m not miss perfect, seriously I’m not! I’m a normal average 30 something woman with my own issues and problems just like you, but I still want everything and now! so this is what my blog is about.

I’m a total hoarder and beauty obsessed, you name it I’ve probably heard about it if not tried it, so the purpose of this blog is to impart my views and opinions on whats on offer in life in general, this includes

Feel free to join me if you want, and if you don’t good luck to you too!

I don’t have much time, so I love pampering, and quick fixes. Unlike the clothes we see in the magasines, I don’t have endless money, so I want everything and at a bargain price too! I loves sales, deals and shopping around for the best price.

Like all of us I also struggle somewhat with my body. It never looks right so I’m always looking to improve. I wont lie to you I go to the gym and calorie count like a crazed nutter and still am a size 16

So there we go, the hardest bit over… something about me.. I think you’ll get to know me more through this blog, but welcome to the inner sanctum of my mind, and welcome to the journey of being able to have your cake and eat it!
