Organic scrambled eggs, organic streaky bacon, smashed avocado with chillis, wilted spinach, roasted sweet potato. .
If you make each plate of food appealing, it can help you regulate portion control and also create each meal to be a more sensory total experience. Always eat and focus on what you’re eating rather than watching TV or reading. It’s not good to eat on the move. The brain won’t register you have eaten and you will remain hungry.
.
Eating with mindfulness can help remind the brain to send a timely message to the stomach when you are actually full. This will stop you binge eating or over-eating and help you to to maintain an optimum healthy weight.

Thank you @janine_witherspoon mua for such a lovely natural make-up.
The last photo in this series of video clips and pics is the after treatments.
.
Thank you @facegym for my lovely treatment
.
My treatments shown here in my video clips are a signature electrical and an cryo oxygen.
.
The session included:
a rigorous lifting manual massage, then a ball massage, then the electrical current which very strong and definitely not relaxing, then a gentle massage with a comb type probe and then with a piece of jade and finally the oxygen cryo.
.
My face now definitely has more definition after the treatment and my skin looks plumped and glowing. .
I would love to be able to treat my face and skin to this facial workout more regularly.
.
I like to look good for my age without resorting to surgery, botox or fillers. This treatment is definitely fabulous.

However lets call this brunch as I waited 16 hours from my last meal of yesterday to 10am today to eat.
.
This is my intermittent fasting regime where I wait 16-18 hours between dinner and breakfast. I then squeeze the only other meal of the day into a small window of time before 6pm again. .
This is my easy to do solution to an ongoing lifestyle weight maintenance ( NOT diet) when I know I am going to need to be feeling and looking my best.
.
And this is how I help my clients when they want to lose weight and have been historically unsuccessful over the years with yo-yo dieting.
.
Its not calorie restrictive, however it is restrictive on cutting out all sugar, white simple carbs like potatoes, cakes, pastry, pasta, and most wheat and grains.
.
There is sourdough toast in my photo today but sometimes a little of what you fancy is better than denying yourself and craving it. .
And yes, I did put butter on the toast too as eating some healthy fats will satisfy and help you feel fuller longer.

When life offers you an opportunity outside your comfort zone seize it with both hands and go for it.
.
I have just done this. .
Many of my age would not. I’m 64. They would say ” You’re brave, I wouldn’t do this, but well done.” .
Watch this space. .
I am going to be part of an exciting campaign that is something I would never have considered doing a few years ago. .
I’m braver now and I have to walk the walk and talk the talk if I am going to inspire and bang on about positive body image, confidence and being yourself whatever age, shape or size you are with no filters. .
Be bold. Be brave. Be you.
