Hey welcome to my tumblr - isn't this fun

A confession

So… it literally PAINS me to type this, but I am now eating sweet food. I’m sorry :(

To those of you who don’t know why this is a massive deal - not long ago now, I DECLARED (arrogantly so) that I would give up ALL sweet food for the rest of the year to raise money for NSPCC. I genuinely really believed I could do it. I honestly did. But a few weeks ago whilst I was at home for a big family party vibe, my willpower was nowhere to be found and I gave in. The guilt I felt was horrific but as soon as I had that one taste I just couldn’t stop. It just went downhill. I kept telling myself I’d get back onto it and that no one had to know about my momentary lapse but it just got worse.

I just cannot do it and I’m so so sorry… really hope you’re not disappointed in me. I think I cover that disappointment for everyone right now.

I have been trying to find a good time to announce this but I’m just so embarrassed that I’ve let myself and everyone else down. I’ve been so careful about posting photos of food and stuff because no one knew… but earlier on today I didn’t give a second thought to posting a photo of my ice cream in the sun. Then the beautiful Hannah Grace commented and reminded me of this whole ordeal. Now it looks like I’m being forced to tell you all because I’ve been caught red-handed. But I really have been planning to tell you all because let’s be honest, I couldn’t hide this away for the rest of the year. 

At the end of the day, I did this for NSPCC. That’s the important thing here! If the two lovely people who donated want a refund or for me to personally pay them their money back, that’s totally cool. I’ll be making sure I make a large and in charge donation this year as a massive sorry.

So sorry again. :(

My new and ridiculous challenge.

My relationship with food is pretty bad. And by pretty bad I mean fucking horrendous. I’m adamant that sugar’s an addiction, and I am an addict in a BIG way (literally?)! I’ve tried time and time again to cut down/give it up but, as most of my friends and family will know, moderation is NOT my forte. I used to be the same with pepsi max; I could easily drink about 8 cans of it a day, but since December when I declared I’d give that up for charity for the whole year, I haven’t had a drop… and to be honest, it’s stopped being a challenge now. With that in mind, I’ve decided I want to do the same thing with all sweet food. (EVEN COOKIES OMG) If I can’t moderate my intake or give it up entirely for ME, then I’ll do it for the children that NSPCC help. This way, I KNOW I won’t go near it and it’s flipped a negative to a positive in a matter of seconds. We all win. It’s out there now and there’s no going back… fml.

So as of this Monday coming (the 15th), I won’t be eating any artificial sweet things until January 1st 2014. No cookies; no muffins; no cake; no chocolate; no biscuits; nothing. This may literally lead me to suicide but I’m pretty confident I can do this… even through Christmas. Holy shit
