Working through pain is the hardest task. 

When you feel so rubbish you can't face doing anything. 

You have to dig deep and remind yourself of the fire that continues to burn within. That in the end all will click into place. Things always get worse before they get better - so we have to hold on to hope to continue the fight. 

Pain can really knock your confidence and your focus on the fight.

We really have to dig deep and remind ourselves why we are here, why are we fighting because there are so many reasons;

1. Family- they hate seeing you suffer and you personally want to do them proud by being the best person you can be and deal with the pain the best way to be able to live the best life possible.

2. There are so many treatments and options. It is a NIGHTMARE trying different treatments and med's with extra side effects and costs. However there has to be SOMETHING out there that even just helps things be a little easier or give you some answers. It is easy to lose hope, but we have to keep open minded and carry on searching. 

3. A better life - you want less pain and an easier life for yourself, that's very important!

4. You deserve happiness and deserve to live an easier life.

5. You have come this far, it has been HARD work and a nightmare. However we have to take the positives out of the negatives and think about the strength that has caused us to gain and how we have dealt with the pain, many wouldn't have done so we can keep fighting because we have the strength and the tools too. 

So on the days when you feel you can't take anymore remind yourself of the points above and know that you can keep fighting on.

You are your own little warrior, congratulate yourself on small steps & don't dwell on your weakness. Keep the fire burning within and looking into the future.

Always here for you, reach out and speak up!

Take care of yourself 

Love always - S xoxo

COOKING TIPS

#1
Feeling sluggish and rubbish when you have woken up? Get boosting up on bananas the more the better - they will help settle your stomach, boosting digestion, they are a mood enhancer, they will give you the energy you need and keep you full. Buy my book for banana receipe ideas.
 
#2
Wake up every morning and ATLEAST have one glass of lemon water before doing anything else! Ideally try to drink a litre of water. The lemon wakes up your digestive system ready for the day and has great cleansing properties.
 
#3
Check your dairy and meat intake - dairy can sit in your system for up to seven days unable to digest properly. Meaning other foods also get neglected and nurtients aren't absorbed properly and you feel extremely bloated. Go and smell your food bin, your stomach will be in that state. Rotting foods in your belly - hmm nice.
 
#4
DO NOT FEAR CARBS - THEY ARE NOT THE ENEMY! CARB UP!!
Bananas, Rice, Potatoes, Leafy Greens, Corn, Beans, Lentils etc PACK THEM IN GO MAD.
 
#5
NEVER COUNT CALORIES - NEVER RESTRICT!! These restriction 'starvation' diets who tell you to only eat 500 calories a day then have a treat day - where you binge out and eat WAY too much, is simply messing up your metabolism and on your binge days yours body stores all the fat meaning you gain weight because it knows it is going to go back into starvation mode and needs to hold onto every little thing it can. HELLO WEIGHT GAIN. 

Life is too short not to live it to the full, making yourself happy.
