Fat in the Head is the culmination of over 15 years of experience with being fat and losing weight (with varying degrees of success). It’s about putting psychological wellbeing before the idea that ‘skinny is the only way to be’, as much as about practical advice to taming your inner Cookie Monster. It’s about learning to live with disappointment and responding with “I know, me too!” About getting inspired by failure rather than daunted by stories of success. It’s for those who are genuinely fat-shaped as well as for those who are Fat in the Head only.

I am sad. Again. In bed with the covers pulled up to my chin, my eyes rest on the kitchen scales. It’s one of those classic ones, with a clock face. Only this one is better than a clock, because on this one time never passes. I can lie in bed all day and the big red pointer would still say it’s a few minutes before 4kgs.
In typical Fat in the Head fashion, I started blogging well over a year ago full of hopes, dreams and aspirations about changing the world. And then… Well, you all know what happened next right?
