So this week I have managed to cook two different pasta dishes, neither of which have given me food poisoning. I won’t say they tasted that great but they were at least edible. Although I’m quite glad nobody saw me cooking because I was flinching away from the frying onions and cooking at arm’s length. I suppose like with anything it’s just about gaining the confidence to give it a go, and practice makes perfect.

How I did it: I realised I was only biting my nails at work when I was bored or annoyed. Once I knew when I bit my nails, I was able to be more aware of what I was doing and could stop myself. I gave up when I came back from holiday - being off work for 2 weeks meant I wasn't biting them, and the sun made them grow a bit faster so I had a head start. Because they looked nice I was more determined not to bite them.My cousin and I both gave up toget… Read how I did it…
I used to be a size 10… then I crept up to size 12… now I seem to be a size 14. (They are still quite loose but for how much longer?!) Ideally I’d like to be able to get back into my size 10 jeans again but that might be pushing it a bit so a comfortable size 12 will do.
Didn’t wear my bikini, stuck to my old tankinis instead! Oh well, I’ll have to wait until next year now…
