365 days ago I was pretty excited to wave goodbye to 2014. I was convinced it was ‘the worst year of my life’, but I think 2015 has put me through a lot more challenges however I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

After feeling like I’d lost a year of my life to Hypothyroidism I was determined to get my life back on track. I came off all my medication, started treating my body like a temple and accepted that life is about No.1
2015 has made me become the best version of me, I’m learning to love my body, lumps, bumps an all! I’ve accepted my personality is quirky and my humour can be dry and that not everyone gets it, but those who do love it, and that’s ok and I officially no longer care what people think about me. I love those who love me.

I have no resolutions for 2016 other than to keep on making the progress that I’ve already started making and to be the best person I can be!
Oh, and stay positive! Ever since I changed my mindset life has been so much better. I had an old friend (who saw me at my lowest) come visit me the other day and referred to me as ‘glowing’

I think this Roald Dahl quote puts its perfectly…

“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

Happy New Year!
