Here’s something random, I have been shoe shopping a lot the last few weeks as I am trying to find some to wear for a wedding I am going to next month — when I was at my heaviest weight I was wearing size 6 shoes, the ones I bought yesterday were a size 3, [...]

As you know by now, I work out five days a week and have been doing for over two years now — but unlike most people I have definitely not grown to love working out. I still hate it as much as I did this time two years ago when I was 5 stone heavier [...]
