I've not blogged in forever so I thought I should probably do a quick post just to update on what's going on before I write my rant post.
So uni is in full swing with 3 weeks and 1 day until my final essays are due in. Oh joy!! At least it keeps me out of mischief. ;)
Some of you may or may not know that I set myself a small challenge this month. For men November is significant because they all grow moustaches to raise money and awareness for testicular cancer etc but my challenge is a little less public/a lot more self centred. For the month of November I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't weigh myself. You're probably reading this thinking "so what?" but for me that is actually quite a big thing. Like a lot of young women in society for a long time that number was something significant to me. It affected my mood, how I felt about myself, how I treated myself and the way I was around others. It sounds so ridiculous when I write it down like that, it's just a number. Since the 1st November it's a number that I don't carry around with me any more. Honestly I've not weighed myself once so far this month and it feels good to no longer worry about the number. I can't say I've not been tempted. I have. Sometimes just out of curiosity, other times because I've had a difficult day/feel out of control but on the whole it's going well and hopefully one day I just won't care about it any more.
And the most exciting thing that happened this month was Melissa came to visit me. If you follow me on twitter you'll probably know she's @mimiontoast on there, go follow her she's awesome. It sucks being so far away from each other and I'm snowed under with assignments so won't be leaving Aberdeen for another 3 weeks and 1 day so she came to see me and it was lovely :D
Well I think that's you all caught up on my life now.
Have a great day/evening/night/week :D
