My relationship with food
I have always had a bit of an up and down relationship with food. As a young child, I was always on the smaller frame size until around 8 years old when I then put on a fair bit of weight (not anything to do with the copious amounts of pickled onion monster much I was eating amongst various other unhealthy food choices!). This carried on well into my teens when I continued to make bad food choices and also started to lead an indulgent and excessive teenage lifestyle. Young me :-) In my late teens and into my twenties, I started to get into my fitness and would swim, go to the gym, attend various fitness classes, play tennis, walk - it wasn't excessive by any standards but I didn't fuel my body correctly and didn't see the importance of a healthy diet - at this stage in my life it was more about partying than leading a healthy wholesome existence. The yoyo diets were in full swing - Atkins, Ketogenic, The Grapefruit Diet, Slimfast, Vegetarian, Dairy
