My Epiphany!

I recently read a book called The F*CK It Diet by Caroline Dooner. If you haven’t read it yet go do it now, it will probably change your life!

I have been trying to lose weight since I was 15 even when I have had a very healthy BMI! Which has obviously given me a very messed up view of food, eating and body image. A little while ago my 10 year old asked why her hips were wider than her friends and I knew something had to change.

I do not want my daughters to grow up believing that their worth is in how much they weigh or how little they eat. I do not want my daughters growing up hating their bodies and comparing themselves to their friends/family/celebrities. I want my daughters to love their bodies, love moving, and also enjoy food.

In order for this to happen I have to start with me. This blog is going to be my journey to eating intuitively and loving my own body and hopefully leading by example and encouraging my girls to do the same.

I am not a fitness guru (although I do enjoy exercising), I am not a dietitian or nutritionist (but I do enjoy cooking family meals). I am simply a mum who wants to love her own body and wants her daughters to love theirs.

I will have so many questions along the way and will be looking for people to help me answer them. And hopefully they will be questions that other parents have wanted to ask but never knew where to look.

So my journey starts here to a happy, healthy family.
