I don't have to look like everyone else!

A bit up and down with my food but I've stopped worrying so much about keeping carbs down. All my life I have never thought about carb, protein, calories and when I was active I never really had a problem with weight. Now that I am in the fitness industry I over think it and beat myself up for really just eating what I used to always eat.

I have made a real effort to cook everything from scratch and eat as close to it's natural state as possible. I have great healthy cook books at home and I am really enjoying using them. I think my favourite breakfast has been pear, date and cinnamon porridge, main meal - asian poached chicken with veg and soba (buckwheat) noodles and lots and lots of homemade soups (Moroccan sweet potato, leek and chickpea)

I am also focussing on a more positive opinion of body image. I DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT! Everyday I say that I am happy with how I am now and I eat to be and feel as healthy as I can be. Not as thin as I can be.
