R U OK ?

R U OK?

I don’t think that I ask my friends and family this enough.
So with all my heart, love and support I want to take this moment to say

I care
I am here for you (anywhere, anytime, anyway)
I am OK

Are YOU?

I know many of my friends and loved ones battle depression, probably more than I am fully aware of. I have been through times of darkness and with the love and support of my friends and family I am now OK. I might not always be OK, so if you are ever worried please don’t hesitate to ask as I promise to always ask you.

Even if I do not ask I care, feel free to talk to me by email, text, Facebook PM or just by picking up that phone. Any time of day. You are important to me. Your happiness matters.

If I (or anyone else) ask it is okay to answer honestly and share as much as you can.
It is hard.
Please don’t live in darkness, alone.

Today is RUOK Day, so if there is anyone out there who you are worried about please don’t hesitate to ask.
Here is a link to the RUOK website for more information.
It has great resources on understanding depression, how to ask RUOK?, how to say I am not OK, how to get help if you need it and there are even inspirational stories.

It is a great website and organisation so please check it out.

Yes! I can knit.

See I can knit!
I am currently making a little Milo vest.
I think it will look really cute.

After lots of frogging (pulling it apart rippit rippit rippit, get it?😉) I have completed the first part of the pattern.

I am proud.

Thanks Meg for all your help and answering 50 billion questions (I’m am about to try to get my head around the next round so brace yourself). Xxx

Loving the 12wbt

I am seriously loving the 12wbt challenge.

I have never really dieted before. Diets have always seemed restrictive and boring… Until the 12wbt!

The food is absolutely wonderful. So healthy, balanced and just so YUMMY! It doesn’t really feel like a diet… More just a preplanned meal guide.

Mish’s ‘diet’ encourages and inspires me to be more organised. To shop in advance. To really JFDI.

Although the shopping seems expensive at the checkout, we have found that it is actually cheaper than how we were living. Less trips to the checkout means less chance of buying junk and less $$$ spent.

Did I mention how awesome the food is?
