Those Nasty Words

So the other day I experienced my first internet troll in quite some time, she typed away 'Ew..' on her phone, clicked 'Post' & there it was staring back at me..

The photo in question is actually one I really quite adore...


Yet isn't it amazing how someone feels the need to share such a negative comment?.. I often ponder what does one get out of sharing such words & I always come to the same conclusion - a warped sense of self comfort?.. they feel the need to bring you down because something inside themselves isn't happy. I know this because I'm happy & I wouldn't dream of trying to make someone else unhappy..  in fact I try to do quite the opposite.

Anyways, more to the point.. what to do when someone doesn't like your body - it's quite simple - SMILE.

It doesn't actually matter after all! They are never going to be in my skin, so why on earth should their opinion make any difference to the way I lead my life ? - it shouldn't & it doesn't.

Love yourselves that little bit more, it definitely won't be the reaction their expecting & shall definitely make your life a lot more fun ;)

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas & have a Happy New Year ! My blog will be back up and running properly in 2015 with a whole new look. If anyone would like to collaborate in some way, please feel free to send me a message at isabellajane@hotmail.com

Fluctuating Weight.

Ok so last week I experienced my first 'gain' it was 0.5 of a lb.. Yes that sounds ridiculous, especially as I changed my weigh-in outfit from silk to cotton.. But I actually felt like crying.. 

RIDICULOUS!!!!👋 slap. 

BUT It did make me realise this loosing malarkey isn't going to go on forever, I will hit my gold WeightWatchers, & start maintaining, & I am bound to fluctuate ?!. It was just a sharp stab to reality.. My first gain since I joined WW on 3/01/13. 

I have to admit it has made me more determined, almost a boost in fact... But It did take me half an hour to change my mind from tears.. We all experience those horrible moments, disappointed, sad, angry even.. I just haven't in so long, It hurt, but we can do it, don't let it knock you, decide it will make you work harder ! Health is where I'm headed, running half a marathon, being truly healthy & fit..  that's all I want & all I need.. 

So this week I'm focusing on fitness, attempting regular small burts of exercise, switching up my diet - trying new recipes, steering away from easy unhealthy snacks & creating a happy clean home, moving furniture around, throwing things away etc - which always helps me feel inspired! 

What gets you inspired? Creates a relaxed mind? Keeps you focused? 

Whatever it is you can do it. Even during the toughest of moments ♥️♥️♥️

So smile ladies, & never stop.. We are all beautiful & strong xx
