Store cupboard Super Sleuth… The Love Detective’s Leftovers.

Store cupboard Super Sleuth… The Love Detective’s Leftovers.

By Claudia | Clarry's Tips, The Love Detective | 0 comment | 25 March, 2020 | 0

Like my heroine, Clarry Pennhaligan, I love food. Readers have written telling me that they enjoy visualising Clarry’s thrown-together meals and the Lock-In leftovers, shared by the restaurant staff at Abbe’s Brasserie where she works as a part-time waitress. I’ve confided that it’s always possible to guess when I’m on yet another diet and feelingRead more

Miriam Margolyes is looking at why we in the UK are getting fatter. We were left at the close of episode 1 of Miriam’s Big Fat Adventure with the question of whether it’s possible to be fat and happy. Episode 2 is all about extremes. What some of us will do in pursuit of perfection.Read more

Fat shaming… it’s personal.

I’ve been fat-shamed all my life. And each and every time it has wounded me. Hurt me. Made me want to run back to my lair and hide… and eat. For me, most of the fat-shaming has come from men. I’ve heard everything from “you’d be really attractive if you lost some weight” said byRead more

I eat. Poem by angela dyson

I eat.

I eat. I eat when I’m happy. I’m eat when I’m sad. I eat when I’m afraid and when I’m lonely. I eat when everything feels like it’s closing in on me and when I can’t cope with the world. I eat because at times I find facing reality almost impossible. I eat to blockRead more

As Miriam M embarks on her Big Fat Adventure, I will be too

By Claudia | Angela Dyson BBC Radio, Big Fat Adventure | 0 comment | 5 March, 2020 | 0

This week I’ve been inspired to tackle something very personal and important to me. I have always struggled with my weight and, as a result, I have spent much of my life hating myself.
