The not-so-skinny on my life so far

After a long hiatus, I have decided to return to my blog, partially because the people on my post-graduate course said I should. It has been a bumpy ride since my last post. I would like to say that it has been an intense spiritual journey, full of surprises and heartbreak. Well, I did lose a lot of weight. Anyone who's been to Aberystwyth knows that it is a town full of sin and temptation, due to its high proportions of coffee shops. Those cheesecake brownies, double chocolate chip cookies, sugary caramel waffles and custard-soaked puddings were the ruin of me. They will be the ruin of you too. Now, I know I should feel remorseful for over-indulging on these forbidden, non-nutritionist-approved foods.  ... Anyway, when I returned from the land of Welsh cakes, I realised I was a stone overweight. And to pardon the pun, it crushed me. Now, some say body-shaming is a good thing. If it helps people to change to healthier lifestyles, it must be a good thing
