This week, being a role model to my children...
I was so saddened to read about the death of student Eloise Parry from taking DNP.
Tragically DNP takes a 5th life in the UK. There have
been over 60 deaths worldwide caused by DNP or Dinitrophenol which is readily
available over the Internet. It can be bought and sold legally as a
fertiliser!!! As long as the company states it is not fit for human consumption!!
I just can't believe that companies are getting away with
selling this sort of the thing over the internet so easily. They market it as a
weight loss tool and then at the checkout get you to read a disclaimer.
DNP is pure hell - body temperature can spike as high as 108
degrees. It raises metabolism to such a point if you take enough of it your
body will fry from the inside.
It is reported that Eloise Parry was bulimic which would
perhaps explain why she was taking DNP. Her poor poor parents. I have sons
myself and do everything in my power to ensure they lead a happy healthy life
with a positive approach to food and exercise but you just never know what path
life is going to take them.
We urge the government to make DNP a class C drug.
Our sympathies go out to student Eloise Parry's family.

My personal trainer is setting us a challenge called
Frockathon.
She's looking for 10 people to give them the opportunity to transform
their body in the next 12 weeks ready for Summer and to get back into that
dress through exercise and hard work.
I've got to admit I LONG to be one of these people that love
exercise. I honestly think people like my Personal Trainer who look forward to
doing events such as the marathon are weird!!! (Sorry Jo you know i'm only kidding). Don't get me wrong - I
completely admire them and am pretty envious of them, but I personally just
don't enjoy exercise!!
However, after having said all that of course I do exercise -
like I said previously I want to be a positive influence on my children and if
they see mummy popping off to the gym or getting her roller skates on that can only
be a good thing. However I don't do enough to have the body I would really
like.
She has asked us to take a picture of an item of clothing
you longed to get in to or used to be able to wear but no longer feel
comfortable in it.
Mine is a white jumpsuit I ordered over a year and a half
ago. I have the same jumpsuit in coral and Purple and LOVE it so just bought
the white one thinking I would love this too. But dear me, it is a very
different story on - white is a difficult colour at the best of times but in
this particular style and fabric it is not very forgiving.
So Jo if you can make me feel comfortable in this, I will
love you forever.
I am also going on my jolly's in August (only 13 weeks away
- YIKES!!) so need to be getting bikini ready too!
There is a lot of talk about plus size models recently -
particularly the gorgeous Tess Holiday who has well over a million social media
fans. I watched a programme about plus size fashion with speakers being
interviewed saying there is still very little choice if you are over a size 16.
Jamelia has been slated recently for saying that clothing over (or under!) a
certain size should be banned from being sold in high street stores as it
advocating being unhealthy.
My thoughts on overweight people are this - If, as an adult
you choose to be overweight and are happy with that then that is entirely your
choice - good on you for having your cake, eating it and enjoying it. In many
ways it is better than sweating the small stuff - god only knows the guilt I've felt over the years for having enjoyed one to many slices of cake which is silly - cause it's everything in moderation.
However, if as a parent you are very overweight and think
that it is OK to be this way then I feel that's different story. Sending out
the message that it is OK to eat poorly and make unhealthy food choices to our
children is wrong.
Our children are like little sponges - their developing
brains take things in at such a pace they see and hear everything we are doing.
Having said that (and this is probably the industry that I
am in) I don't often meet overweight people that LIKE being overweight - in
fact majority of people I speak with are desperate to lose weight but for
whatever reason they are struggling to perhaps because of emotional reasons.
One of the reasons I love my job so much is seeing the joy
on people’s faces as the pounds disappear week by week and watching their
confidence grow. Seeing my clients all of a sudden posting selfies on Facebook
or a comparison Then/Now shot makes my job all worthwhile.
I just wanted to mention our client Shelly Shand who through
her own hard work and determination (and a little help from our friendly skinnypills Lotuslite) has managed to lose 1.5 stone so far in a short space of time.
Shelly has been eating extremely well and stepping up the exercise tenfold
(another benefit of LotusLite as it gives you the energy to move more).
Well done Shelly - we love you!
Being a good role model to our kids all of the time is hard
work - and I am far from that - I try my best but often go to bed feeling
disappointed with myself. I came across this little beauty on Facebook
yesterday - it did make me chuckle - nobodies perfect eh!
Whatever you do this week do it with love. xx
