Do you ever consider the amount of brain space that food, dieting, and losing weight/ staying thin take up? When I was knee-deep in diet hood, I’d say it took up 80% of my daily thoughts. If I wasn’t eating food, I was counting it or in my fitness pal calculating what I was allowed to have, or how I could burn off what I’ve eaten, or dreaming about my weekend cheat meal. And that’s just the food part. It’s exhausting, all-consuming and completely unnecessary. I’m not reckless with food now, like, we buy gousto or Hello Fresh, and I aim to eat some fruit or veg with my meals, and I’m conscious of making sure to have protein, and how much water I’m drinking, but that’s as far as my thoughts about food go. I rarely know what I’m going to eat for my next meal, and if options are limited, ill take whatever is on offer. I guess I only know because I’ve been in diet prison the past, how bloody freeing it is live the way I do now. Now I have 80% more brain space to think about life, and my career and things that help move me forwards and light me up 🫶🏻#dietculture #foodfreedom #relateable
Yesterday, I felt like I’d died and woke up in a wild swimmers heaven 😇🐠 It was one of those places I’d seen on Instagram and expected far less than what the video portrayed in real life, but it was the opposite! 4 stunning, huge lakes spread across @poolbridgefarm, three adults only. The water was so clean and warm enough (at this time of year) for your body to adapt after being in it for a few minutes. You have to buy tickets in advance (I got mine the day before), and they only sell a certain amount, so even though it was full, it didn’t feel it at all. We had a whole lake to ourselves at one point. It was STUNNING and the perfect wholesome day out with @_oliviabrittain 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Tag someone you need to go here with👭 & save for future 🌟 #wildswimming #positivevibes #wholesome
I wanted to share this with any of you who are going through it right now. Life really can do a complete 360 when you gain the strength and support to heal. Ten years ago, I could NEVER have imagined living the life I have today. & I’m so grateful that my prayers weren’t answered because I’d have never had the opportunity to meet you guys, or Mike, or the majority of my beautiful friends, or my dog, or have the special relationship I have with my family, or to have travelled half the world. There really is SO much life waiting for you on the other side of your struggle. If you’re going through it, hold on and keep on going. Life isn’t going to be pain-free or perfect, but it’s worth it ❤️ #mentalhealth #keepgoing
The only person who truly knows you and everything you’ve been through is yourself, so it’s time to stop faltering at the judgment of people who may have caught a glimpse of you and formed their whole conclusion based solely on that. Be kind & align your words, thoughts and actions as often as you can, and you’re golden baby 🫶🏻 #mindyourbusiness #positivemindset
ad The way my eyes started watering the first time I opened the fridge to see my mum had bought @symproveyourlife & she told me she used my code, too🥹😭 The older I get, the more I don’t only care for my health but for the health of my parents, too! I’ve told them so many things they need to do over the years, but if I’m honest, if there is one thing I’d really want them to start, it’s taking Symprove. Having a healthy gut is linked to so many things, from your immune system to a healthy brain 🧠 & I want to keep them mentally and physically healthy for as long as possible 🫶🏻 My code VICTORIA50 will save you 50% for your first 12 weeks rolling subscription- that’s less than £1 a day 💃🏼🛒 #health #fitness #mentalhealth
ad. For all the work I’ve done to detach from old narratives, one that’s still clinging on for dear life is my attaching my worth to my appearance and using my appearance as, almost, a scapegoat for situations that feel out of my comfort zone. There have been SO many times lately when I can’t be bothered doing a 5-step skincare routine before bed or a full face of makeup to go out, but I have forced myself to do it anyway. I’m on a personal mission to strip back and embrace myself a bit more, letting things like makeup be a choice rather than a ‘mask’, so to speak. I’ve started taking @wildnutritionltd Natural Glow to make my hair & skin feel more radiant and glowy- a supplement brand I’ve heard rave things about because they are food-grown instead of synthetic. & I’m just pouring the time and energy I was giving to doing my makeup every day into making my mind and inner body a beautiful place to be. ‘When the world inside you is beautiful, the world around you is beautiful.’ 🫶🏻🫶🏻 WILDVICTORIA for 50% off the first 3 months subscription. #WildNutrition #FoodGrown #beauty #confidence

ad My toxic trait is saying, ‘I could live here,’ and looking up house prices pretty much everywhere I go😂 But honestly, I couldn’t believe I was in London when I got off the overground at @barking_riverside . It was so peaceful, beside a long open stretch of the Thames and a strong sense of community and it’s much more affordable than you expect London to be. I’m grateful to have co-hosted an event with @moveyourframe and had the chance to hold a talk for the community on how to form a self-loving approach to health and fitness. I feel like I’m learning just as much as the guests when I’m infront of an audience who don’t necessarily follow me or know anything about my ethos, and I loved it! #vlog #mentalhealth #london
