The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.

atm the dilemma is between eating healthy and being bored but feeling great about myself, or eating bagels and ice cream and having a blast but feeling increasingly like a bit of a sloppy mess

I was waiting outside my local library before it opened this morning with four strangers. There was me, a mum with a baby, an old frowning guy with glasses, this tired lady in a parka, and a wispy Asian man, all waiting in silence. 

This other young mum comes up with this smiley wee toddler. And he made eye contact with the tired lady first and she grinned and bent down and started talking to him. And then he smiled at the Asian man and he smiled back, and kept smiling to himself. And then at the old guy, who broke unexpectedly into the sunniest expression, and then the mum, and then at me, and I looked around and we were all smiling at this wee kid.

And I just thought how much I loved libraries. And how rare it was to have a group of strangers waiting outside a library in the cold on a Thursday morning, who were all smiling.

if you haven’t been told this today: you are loved, you are ridiculously beautiful, you are smart, you are talented, and you are enough.

You’re never going to be 100% ready and it’s never going to be just the right time, but that’s the point. It means that every moment is also the right moment. If you want it, you just have to do it.

For all of the last year I have been strongly anti-calorie counting and anti-weighing myself. It’s been really good.

But I think being more aware of my weight and energy intake would help release me from some disordered thoughts I’ve been having, like freaking out that I’ve overeaten, or convincing myself I’ve gained weight in one day.

So I’ve decided I’ll start taking note of these things again, but never with restriction in mind. So I’ll keep a food diary, but I won’t have a calorie target. And I’ll check my weight, but no more than once a week.

Weight and eating will never again be high-priority in my life. There is so, so much more for me here.
