Lbs for ï¿¡ï¿¡s

This week I have embarked on my 3-month challenge to lose 30lb and raise money for Nightsafe in the process. 

Those who know me, know that I have a sweet tooth and I apologise now for those who may find me a little prickly during my initial sugar detox. It’s nothing personal I promise! 

Lockdown has given me a lot of time to reflect on my life and what’s important to me. I’ve realised just how important family and friends are and that self-care, both physical and emotional wellbeing plays an important part. 

It’s for that reason that I have decided to take a proactive step in my life and commit to losing a significant amount of weight – and hopefully raise lots of money (￡￡’s) in exchange for the lbs I lose. 

Throughout the three months I’ll be sharing the highs and lows of my challenge and how I’m coping. I promise not to sugar-coat anything – both written and food wise.  

The challenge will be mostly focused on nutrition, they do say that weight loss is 80% diet and our young people don’t have the luxury of attending exercise classes. 

As much as I plan to bring a bit of humour to my regular updates, there is a serious reason why I’m doing it. I have the privilege of choosing what food I put in my body, whereas many of the young homeless people we support can’t always do this. 

I would therefore kindly ask you to dig deep and donate to my Lb’s for ￡￡’s challenge. All money raised will be used to help provide essential support to young homeless people aged 16-24 across Blackburn with Darwen East Lancashire.
