Month end. Very pleased with the end result. I guess midlife weight loss is slower, but so long as the numbers are getting smaller and nearer the magic BMI then it’s all good. * I know BMI actually means bullshit measuring index but you gotta do what the Dr orders. #caloriecontrolleddiet #caloriecounting #loseitapp #healthnotvanity #kneereplacementsurgery #nutritionnotrestriction
Those that tell you once you hit a routine of calorie counting it gets easier, they aren’t telling the truth. Every single day is hard. Every single meal you plan is tweaked and pruned and reshaped to fit the numbers. It almost takes the joy out of eating that longed for meal, savouring that special something you think you’ve been looking forward too. It’s a great big fat lie Every single day, obstacle, event is hard, really hard. You fear going over your allotted calories. You rearrange and rearrange every single morsel time after time. Some days you hit the target, some days you fall short, some, heaven help us, you go over. That leads to more soul searching, more tweaking, just to get the weeks balance right. It’s hard, really hard. Which hard is harder? This battle or the self loathing, mirror avoiding, camera shy life? #caloriecounting #healthnotvanity #weightlossuk #nutritionnotrestriction
Thursday #caloriecounting #caloriedeficit #weightlossforwomen #loseitapp #nutritionnotrestriction
Dinner was divine! #saladsarentboring #weightlossforwomen #caloriecounting #nutritionnotrestriction
My absolute favourite salad, with additions, well there was a bbs and spinach that needed using so it would have been rude not too #saladsarentboring #caloriecounting #caloriecontrolleddiet #loseitapp #weightlossforwomen #healthnotvanity #osteoarthritis #nutritionnotrestriction
Tuesday, golly the long weekend really does throw you off. Aqua this evening and mind & body later on. It’s back to grim up north weather but I refuse to let that deter me. #healthnotvanity #caloriecounting #caloriecontrolleddiet #loseitapp #weightlossforwomen #osteoarthritis #nutritionnotrestriction
Simply trying to improve my longevity prospects and supporting my girl @intentionally_linda . Bank holiday, family gathering fingers crossed the weather plays fair.

I have an emergancy baked potato on stand by! #caloriecontrolleddiet #caloriecounting #loseitapp #longevitydiet #osteoarthritis #healthovervanity #nutritionnotrestriction
Well, this is what you get when you have a bit of a day with chocolate. Earlier in the week I was on target for a loss, then that hussey Lily OBrien decided to sneak in and here we are. It does show that I regained some restraint, but it also shows that a calorie deficit is there for a reason. Afternoon tea this afternoon will be a far more controlled affair! #caloriecounting #caloriecontrolleddiet #loseitapp #weightloss #caloriedeficit #weightlossjourney #midlifeweightloss #nutritionnotrestriction.
Quite possibly the best salad in the world. Orzo, roast bns, peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes mixed baby leaves and feta dressed with balsamic vinegar. #caloriecounting #caloriecontrolleddiet #saladsarentboring #weightlossforwomen #weightlossjourney #loseitapp #nutritionnotrestriction #salads

Making peace with food was such a challenging part of my healing journey and a principle of #intuitiveeating that i stayed stuck on for a while. On our recent trip to #connemara i realised just how different it is now and how much easier life is. No meal planning, no looking up restaurants, no dragging everyone to 5 different plsces to find the 'perfect one', enjoying a drink each night, enjoying fun foods with the kids. It's just so freeing. It's not really about the food but it is when you feel your mind is completely obsessed with it. Making #peacewithfood involves developing a healthy and balanced relationship with food, free from guilt, fear, or restrictive behaviourss. Eating what you want means unconditional permission to eat what you want, Not eating all day long. This can involve strategies such as intuitive eating, mindful eating, and learning to listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues. It's about nourishing your body without attaching moral value to food choices and finding joy in eating without judgment. It's not about perfect eating, thst doesn't exist, now I have the icecream if I want, I'll have the chocolate if I want but I'll also order the salad if it's what I feel like in the moment. There's no weight or fear attached to it. If you want to get to this place, can't imagine it ever being you or want to enjoy food & your body so to end the war for your kids and yourself with your body and food, dm to work with me on a coaching basis.
Even with a cold and now an abcess in my mouth I’m very happy with that. #caloriecontrolleddiet #caloriedeficit #weightlossforwomen #nutritionnotrestriction #eatwellbewell

As many of you might know… I’m a recovered emotional eater. After my son was born I had a health scare - created by my bad eating habits! This health scare became my wake up call! I realized that I really needed to stop my emotional eating in a lasting way - so I’d be here on this planet for my son in a lasting way!! So I went into research mode - and learned everything I could about "re-training my brain" to view food & do food with more self love and mindfulness. Basically I became an intuitive eater. My psychological techniques worked & I’ve been a recovered emotional eater for over a decade! Now I’m on a mission to help others with unhealthy food habits! So I morphed everything I learned & do into a comprehensive video course called: “Stop Emotional Eating” This course is not a diet program. It's a permanent paradigm shift changing program. Already these tools have helped many thousands of people around the world to eat healthier! ⬇Why people love my STOP EMOTIONAL EATING COURSE⬇ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Before this Stop Emotional Eating program, I was binging a few times per week for YEARS. I’d downward spiral and it’d turn into a week or two of consistent overeating and feeling bad. It’d take weeks to get back on track and to what I felt was a more normal mode of eating. Then the cycle would repeat. In only 1 month of doing Karen’s course, I’ve been able to significantly change this behavior with her guidance. I’ve had a few ‘slips’ but have been able to quickly reset myself and avoid the long downward spiral. It feels GREAT! I’ve been able to identify my triggers and the real feelings underneath that so often led to me stuffing my face and emotions. Thank you, Karen! - Gayle C. - Pittsburg, PA See link in my bio to learn more about my Stop Emotional Eating video training!
