Following! Totally understand the anxiety and effort in losing weight - it's worth it on the other side (I've found) :yep: good luck! :hugs:

aw yay thank you! yeah company is definitely nice :biggrin: oh wow that means a lot! i'm really bad for being very lazy when it comes to meals and opting for convenience food over actually cooking - that's something i'm trying to work on this year!

Hehe, I’m really bad for picking quick and easy food too. I’m definitely going to try cooking more this year. I was always making new meals and snacks during the first lockdown and really enjoyed it!

i was the same! i cooked so much in 2nd year especially during the lockdown months but then really fell off the wagon with it. i do enjoy cooking as well so it's literally just down to laziness :lol:

exactly!! it’s so much easier to just take something from the freezer and chuck it in the oven, but i’ve got to start eating properly😂
Excellent blog well done and very good luck with it
I just wish I was able to put in as much effort as you x
