As a doctor and busy working mum of two I was permanently on the run, tired and had no time for myself. I went down a slippery slope of stopping exercise and although I have always cooked from scratch, I was relying on quick convenience low fat food and couldn't go a meal without a stoggy helping of carbs.
My children were favoring unhealthy food choices and were increasingly reluctant to try new more nutritious options. Despite my best efforts at following advice about snacking on low fat options or fruit to bridge gaps between meals, my son and I were always hungry and gaining weight. I had a few minor health issues and my seven year old started to develop spots (not ideal when your mum is a Dermatologist!).

It was time to change. Time to be more selfish and sort myself out so I could improve the health and happiness of the rest of my family. I reduced the sugar and carbs I was consuming, increased the veggies and started to do a bit more exercise. I also tried to be more mindful of what I was doing and how my body felt.
The results were I felt much healthier and revitalized within a few weeks. I lost over a stone in weight in a month, my skin was glowing and I had more energy and felt much happier.
I have decided to write this blog to help me continue to motivate and educate myself in living a better, healthier life and to inspire and empower you on your own personal journey. I hope you enjoy.
