You are not hungry. You are bored.

I have always found it impossible to diet. I’m a massive foodie, however at the same time I am the fussiest eater ever. I live with two men (my boyfriend and his brother) who are both massive fitness fanatics. Which means constant judgments on everything I eat. I sometimes feel like I have to eat things in secret because I’m haunted and plagued by “Do you really need that, Soph?” or “oooph, Carb on Carb. Do you think that’s a good idea?” and “Why don’t you try eating this instead!?”

Unfortunately the only motivation comments like these give me is a stronger will power to eat what I want. I’m not fat and I have always been quite athletic, and eating what I want doesn’t make me gain weight… but it doesn’t make me lose weight and achieve the body I want either.

One of my biggest problems is that I work in a nightclub and find it impossible to have a regular eating pattern, especially when my hours are allover the place at work. Although most days I will eat dinner at 7:30/ 8pm before work, I find that by the time I get home from work at 5 in the morning I’m usually hungry again, but also tired which means I just want to eat any old thing and get into bed. It’s so easy to eat what you want when you want and be happy. But then I guess you’re happiness doesn’t last forever wen you don’t get the body you want.

Secondly, I am not a breakfast person. I never have been. I feel like I never will be, and my job means that I find it impossible to drag myself out of bed 2 hours after I got into it for food. I honestly don’t know how I can resolve this problem in my current situation, and think that until I get some regularity in my life, I will always struggle eating when I’m supposed to and what I’m supposed to.

This blog post is just a way for me to express my issues with food and how I need to resolve them. It’s the beginning of my journey and I feel that by writing everything down and sharing with you guys I can move on and improve my issues.

Peace out bloggers 🙂

A Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins At A Single Step

I have spent my whole life being overly skeptical about what one person can and cannot achieve. I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never been a ridiculously determined or overly ambitious, because; although I have always had bursts of enthusiasm and massive aspirations, I am impatient and stubborn and lose hope rapidly if I don’t see results immediately. This is always been the way I approach things (this is probably the same for millions of you out there, some of you hopefully reading this blog).

However, recently I have been feeling more determined than ever, over the past year or so I have started to believe that everything you do has purpose, and if you don’t do something you want to do, or push yourself as far as you can you will always miss out on something. Obviously there are always going to be boundaries in life but I have honestly started to believe that with solid determination and will power and a lot of hard work anything is achievable.

Let me tell you about myself and what I want to achieve with this blog. The best way to start would be by telling you my name, Sophie. Hi. Nice to meet you. I am a 23 year old recent Drama Studies graduate with a passion for writing. I love reviewing and sharing my opinions on pretty much everything. I feel that it is impossible for me to give this blog one agenda, as I know I will find it impossible to keep it themed. Sorry folks. I have always had a passion for fitness and exercise however never so much that I set myself goals and took myself seriously.

I have had a difficult few months for reasons that I wont go into, however it’s made me realize that life is too short to laze around and do nothing. I am quite a chilled, laid back person and love nothing better than sitting at home watching a movie with my friends and boyfriend, however I’ve made it my goal to get out and do something with myself. I want to achieve something, get somewhere, have a purpose.

I want to start a journey that I can share with you. I want to start taking my fitness seriously and I feel that by blogging my journey I can see and share with others my improvements. I also want to do something I love. Write. Which is why this is going to be an everything blog.

Stay tuned for progress…
