Karma, among other things.

*Cue Alicia Keys' "Karma"* 

I cannot believe it has been a month since my last post! Time has gone by so fast that I simply lost track of it.

Just a quick summary of what I've been up to since my last post:

• Flew back to the UK
• Moved into a new house
• Started 2nd Year Uni
• Signed up for Bath Half!

It was a whirlwind of events and comes with it, the inevitable roller coaster of emotions. Not going to lie, there have been pretty bad days where all I wanted to do was give up and go back to my old habits. Then, I'd go on to Facebook, read my messages and think about the support that I have and I'm motivated again (after a few hours of sulking and mini 'treats' for myself).

I am so incredibly blessed and humbled by the actuality of the huge support system that I have. I was literally in disbelief and rendered speechless when within a few hours of putting up my fundraising page for the Bath Half, I managed to surpass my target! Like WHAT?! What's more, I'm still receiving donations days after that! I just don't know what to say but THANK YOU to all who donated, anon or not, you guys are amazing human beings that deserves all the goodness in the world!

£73 above target! This money will be able to help so many people! Much love xx

This journey has shown me the effects of spreading positivity to everyone and it has been amazing. I've been able to talk to people that I'd never will about my journey and getting to hear how my story has inspired them is just the icing on a perfectly moist cake (yum).

Despite all the good that has happened, there were a few downs to it (life can't be all sweets and roses now, can it?). Recently, I've posted an instagram of me in a crop top with my not-so-fit tummy. It took quite awhile to convince myself to just do it and sod whatever negativity that comes with it.

This was the said photo. I honestly think I look fab, despite the unfit belly..that's what should matter right?

Thankfully, I was on a train ride back from Birmingham (shoutout to the bestie, Heids for the amazing top) and reception was bad so I only managed to read the comments after I reached Bath a few hours later.
The majority of the comments that I got were positive ones (thanks to all the fierce women on my insta feed) but there was only ONE negative comment that bugged me. It's always that bad one that affects us the most, no? While I've tried my best to ignore it, it just lingers in my subconscious and bites me in the butt when I least expected it. If it were a stranger making those comments, I could easily brush it off. But this came from someone whom I trusted to be supportive; it is just a bit hard to get over it.

This is just what's been going on (in my mind, mostly).

I do appreciate and love all the support and encouragement from everybody else and I CANNOT thank you all enough for it!

Keep spreading the good vibes guys, you'd never know who else you'd be helping!
