Cellulite & Stretch Marks.

We all have those beautiful marks that taint our bodies, but should we look at them as completely bad marks or should we embrace them and use them as a lesson and a reason to change ourselves? I don't know about any of you, but my stretch marks and cellulite started popping up when I gained weight, at first I ignored them. Soon enough, I started to feel self conscious about them and now I just know that I will work as hard as I have to, to get rid of them and train my body to the best that it can be.

I know for a fact that weight loss is not easy and I have been looking into ways of giving myself that extra bit of exercise to hopefully start seeing results. I found out, that I should be working out 6 out of 7 days a week for at least 45 minutes if I want to see decent results, of course this makes me not only scared but worried that I won't be able to afford it, which trust me is the story of my life.

But I am going to try, thankfully I have two dogs that need exercising and a boyfriend who needs to lose a few pounds so I'm going to drag him around with me, whilst walking the dogs and I'm going to look into buying a pedometer, this way I can make sure I do a minimum of 10,000 steps a day.

Now, we can't exactly understand Cellulite until we study it and understand why it's there in the first place, so I did my research and found a reasonable image which basically explains what it is and why it is the way it is. I know that Cellulite is something that none of us want, but remember almost everyone has it, even those beloved celebrities.

 It isn't impossible to get rid of either, it just takes time, effort and dedication and of course willpower. As long as you are willing to get rid of it, it'll go. I have been looking into the wonderful Bio Oil product that you hear so much about, and I have seen a lot of good reviews about this. I am going to purchase this (when I have money) and I'm going to review it weekly, you are supposed to see your best results once you've been using it for 3 months, which is highly recommended by both the company and the reviewers. I will take photo's of my thighs weekly and give you before and after photo's. This way if it does work, for me, I can give you my honest opinion. Then if you want to banish the cellulite, that maybe the way to go.


We all know that cellulite and stretch-marks come in many different sizes and shapes. No matter what size or shape it isn't exactly wonderful, but just remember you do not have to be a larger lady to get cellulite, this stuff is just as mean on those skinny-minnies.

So, do any of you out there have any good methods of getting rid of cellulite and stretch-marks, have you found any exercises that have tamed it in a matter of weeks?

If so please feel free to comment below, after all, all of your comments are welcome. Don't feel afraid to share your opinion, or perhaps there is something you may want me to post about, something you are interested in, I can do the research for you.

After all this blog is for all of you out there, who have taken the time everyday to read my blog posts and just browse around my blog.

It would be amazing to hear from you all.

Good luck on your weight loss.

Food Avoids Me.

I don't know how this post came to mind, but as seen as I haven't updated this blog in a little while I felt the need to basically tell you all what is going on food wise with my diet and exercise routine. As you may not know, yet, is that I am an amazingly big lover of all things food related. I will eat anything from crab meat, to the sweetest chocolates. I just adore the stuff.

Then it happens, and I don't know how but suddenly I look at food as if it's a must have instead of a want or need this I believe is in fact a huge improvement from craving food 24/7 which I did do once upon a time. I have found myself looking at food but never drooling due to it's mouth watering amazingness.

I mean, look at the meal above, I would eat that no problem but at the same time I am just not interested. I'm actually barely eating even two meals a day, it's just what I need not want I want any more. Although I am being very good and trying my best to eat the right types of food, although it is not easy I can honestly tell you that.

The strangest part of it all is that my weight is both going up and down, it's almost as if it can't make it's mind up. That has to be the strangest part, although I can see the changes on my body which is even stranger. I will never quite understand how the body works.

I am going to be looking into cellulite etc in my next post, and I'll even show you mine. You are not alone.

Sorry for the bad post today, I think exhaustion has officially taken over my body.

Weight Loss.

Have you ever felt like you've been working out forever yet you never see any results? 

If you have, I am here with you. This has been on my mind recently, for more personal reasons. I will explain these to you very soon in another post. 

I've been going gym twice a week and trying my best to eat healthier, yet I don't feel like I'm getting any results. I honestly believe that somewhere along this path I am slipping up somewhere, the only major problem is I'm not quite sure where the slip up is. It could be anywhere from me not eating the right stuff, to not drinking enough water. 

I have to take action and take this completely serious. I don't believe in starving myself of junk food but when I have junk food I tend to eat it at night time, of course the worse time to have it. Because of this I believe it's time to set myself a few rules, no more eating after 7.00pm and once I get used to that I'll change it to 6.00pm. This will hopefully after time stop me from craving foods every hour of the night. 

I'll start getting up earlier and then I'll start making more of my days, from cleaning my room to walking my dogs and I'm even going to try and jog around the block and see how that goes. 

One thing I have never mentioned in my blog posts is how I feel about myself, I judge myself 24/7 I am extremely critical of every thing that I do, from walking to running anything, even talking. But now it's time to stop, because I judge people I assume they will judge me, but why should I care what they think? After all, am I not doing this to prove those type of people wrong? 

I am going to do my best and remind myself of this constantly, another reason why I wanted to share this with you today! 

Of course these changes will not be simple and I'll fight constantly against them, but it's about the push or should I say the mental push through these barricades in my life. 

Lets see if things will change with these little changes I make. 

Gathering Motivation.

This post will definitely be a strange one but I've found a way of keeping myself motivated at the hardest of times. As you all know, I attend McCauley's gym in Plymouth. It's an amazing place, good fun and they have all the equipment I need, I do wish the facilities were slightly larger but that's just because as summer has arrived so has new members.

'Doesn't it annoy you when summer creeps in and suddenly everyone joins gym thinking they'll get a summer body within a matter of days/weeks?' 

Any way, I've always struggled with motivation and being a positive thinker, it's hard to imagine when you meet me in real life but it's true. I've begun a little bank of images that I use to remind me of why I'm doing this, I'm doing this for myself I want to impress myself with how hard I can work on something and achieve it. 

This is in fact a lot harder than I first thought it would be, this is because I can only go gym twice a week at the moment due to money but this isn't stopping me. Illness does get in the way, but I work through illness. 

None the less, it's time to give you an idea of what kind of imagery I keep, this is on my phone so it's with me 24/7, this is not only for convenience but for the sake of me needing it. I need to know what I'm aiming for, I can have them as backgrounds of some kind. Anything to bring the image to my attention to highlight the reasons for me doing this once more. 

She has a beautiful body doesn't she? It's incredible, but most importantly it's healthy! I understand everyone has their own way of losing weight but I think we have to remember to do it the healthy way. Remember you want to improve your body, not torture it. 

Another woman with an incredible stomach, you'll notice they are mostly legs and stomached I have because I'm so desperate to improve these two areas as they are my trouble areas. 

I've also got a goal in mind, I want to improve my mid section to the point of being able to wear these sexy crop tops whilst working out. This will not only help me to boost my confidence but it'll help me be a stronger person. I'll have to work hard to maintain the beautiful mid section. 

I just hope these photos help you the same way they help me, remember you're doing this for yourself and no one else you'll just have to remember that as best as you can. 

Good luck on your weight loss.
