Diary of a Fat Girl.

Early i know ……….lol ,

but this is how i operate basically so… update days of life.

I worked last night and finished at 11pm home for 11.45pm.

I’m up at this time to go swim at Pudsey leisure centre…then work till 6ish.

I’ve had an amazing holiday in kusadasi Turkey , bought a new Nissan Pulsar and would have been finalist in calendar girls, Sunday gone but due to numbers they cancelled but hey ho all good fun.

Gym Equipment

I’m back in role at John Charles and running a storm between 3 buildings and getting to still adjust to complex and team but all exciting. back into fitness swimming and eating well.

I’ve lost over a stone and a half since ditching Meds and I’m so glad i did as i feel me again.

4 long years on Meds helped me blend into society but not be me, and i gained 4 stone making me sedated and miserable so I’m very happy in myself ultimately.

I get some frustrations from people in my life as I’m very busy as a person and do a lot, so they find it difficult to see me at times and see me smiling and dancing all over social media which is real very real as like i said I’m happy but also life comes with its own problems just like everybody else.

the way i operate is with the thought process life is a blessing so every day we breathe again, thank God for today, my health, the roof over my head, family, job, good life but…….

people just see my social media smile and when going through a difficult period they feel i don’t care because I’m so happy tick toking and living my dreams.

Clare Brooke

I do care but people need to communicate where they are at as although psychic it has to be channelled in a direction for me to know.

I get criticism and anger directed at me at times through other frustrations, I will not change my personality to suit, I tried that it made me extremely unhappy.

my weight is not an issue anymore as I’ve learned to love this vessel of a body that keeps me alive.

A few Weeks ago, out on a Saturday in Leeds with my friend Natalie to celebrate passing all her exams at uni. This girl came to my campaign denim for dementia from the other side of the city and was there in person for support of me which was so nice.

I love social media, i love the connection but do yourself a favour be present, communicate and show up because watching others through your phone and not talking or vice versa leaves people with assumptions.

I’ve had some lash out this week for this reason this week and it’s as simple as talk to each other.

going to enjoy Saturday and celebrate achievements in life and toast to Nat’s better life and successes because life is for being happy.

Clare and Daughter

Queens court is amazing and all that end as it’s so fun so going to smash that end of town as its just me all over.

inflatable blow up flamingos hanging from washing lines is my vibe all day lol.

No matter what keep doing you! demand respect as a person and to be treated right because being submissive gets you nowhere.

Learn to love you and look after you because you’ll get nowhere trying to fit everybody’s box.

Just keep SWIMMING x

Life too short to be unhappy so surround yourself with people who love and support you and understand and you smile often.

Always have gratitude for what you have your the lucky one my Nana always said xxx.
