Treats and Tread Mills

Hello,  It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted anything here and I feel I should explain a little bit about why that is.  Over the last year or so I’ve been focussing on my feature writing, mental health and raising two small humans. With all of that combined, my dear blog has taken a back seat. Plus, I must admit that I started to find it harder and harder to write about the intricacies of my weight loss journey - which was the original purpose of this blog.  Overtime I discovered that my own mental health battles and past traumas played a huge part in my relationship with food and it no longer felt appropriate to share my weigh-day results; knowing that bigger issues were at play. I also started to wonder whether my weight-loss writing was fuelling diet culture and having a negative impact on those who visited my blog for ‘weight-loss inspiration’.  While eating well and keeping fit are still priorities for me, I wish to keep those details more private for the time being.  It’s for all these reasons that I've created a new home for my feature writing which may in the future play host to a new blog, discussing mental health, trauma, current affairs, parenting and my experiences as a mixed-race woman in Britain. My new website is chloelovell.co.uk, where you can also find some photos of me trying to look professional! Thank you all so much for reading Treats and Treadmills over the years and for your support. It means so much to me. Yours thankfully, Chloe
