Why Diet

Hi, Thankyou for taking to time to visit my blog …

The reason this blog exists is because I’m on a diet, I need to lose weight and get healthy. It’s something I’ve been aware of for quite some time, and though it might sound strange me saying that, it’s not really. Each time I look in the mirror all I’ve been concentrating on is my face and hair, I like my hair and spend time on it and I quite like my face and I spend time on that too.

The rest of me gets neglected then hidden under jeans and tops.

One day I started to wonder why, why do I ignore the rest of me…?  I put it down to the fact that I’m a photographer and spend time looking at everyone else and ignoring me. But really what it boiled down to was I actually ignored myself because I didn’t like what I saw therefore it was easier to just ‘not look’.

I’ve had some health problems over the last few years, but I’ll talk about that at a later date, as I’m trying to move away from the negative part of my life and concentrate of what I have now, and looking at ways to improve myself and my life.

My job as a photographer is varied and exciting I meet lots of creative people,

I’m based in Manchester, UK and I love it. I’ve lived away and sometimes fantasize what it would be like to live in a better climate, but I know I’ll always want to come home.

My lifestyle means I eat out a lot with bands, friends and colleagues. I love eating out but I know what it means and what I have to do about it. So… to diet and continue to socialize and make my diet work I needed a plan…

I’ve decided that I’m going to diet for CANCER RESEARCH UK, we’ve all been affected by cancer is some way, whether it be a relative or friend who has passed or suffered in some way or even ourselves …  the diet will be done using the Slimming World plan which started two weeks ago, I’ve also started using the Gym.

To add to this I’ll also be getting my kit of for a photograph,  the talented Jill Furmanovsky has kindly offered to do the photo shoot..  the picture will then be auctioned off for the same charity..

I’m hoping to post to the blog as often as possible, so if you want to drop in or leave me a message you’l be very welcome to.

Cheers
